This study investigates the influence of microplastic (MP) concentration on soil erodibility and examines how wind intensity affects the aerosolization of MPs, organic matter, and mineral fractions. Conducted under the SOILPROM project at Wageningen University & Research, two controlled laboratory experiments …

Gili Ketapang is a small island located in East Java, Indonesia. The island is currently experiencing environmental changes due to coastal erosion and the decline of its coral reef ecosystem. At the same time, the population is growing, and economic activities centred around fishing and tourism are expanding. …

Tussen 2022 en 2024 heeft Velocity gewerkt aan een hubconcept voor de levering van technische materialen aan Campus Heijendaal.

Background Exercise-induced fatigue is a common consequence of physical activities. Particularly in older adults, it can affect gait performance. Due to a wide variety in fatiguing protocols and gait parameters used in experimental settings, pooled effects are not yet clear. Furthermore, specific elements …

The Netherlands is dependent on artificial structures for water safety. In addition to water safety the artificial structures also provide habitat for different aquatic species. When designing artificial structures like dikes and breakwaters adjustments can be taken to increase species richness or stimulate …

An important performance determinant in wheelchair sports is the power exchanged between the athlete wheelchair combination and the environment, in short, mechanical power. Inertial measurement units (IMUs) might be used to estimate the exchanged mechanical power during wheelchair sports practice. However, …

Er is steeds meer data (of gegevens) beschikbaar binnen organisaties. De hoeveelheid neemt exponentieel toe. Zo worden Nederlandse overheidsorganisaties ook wel overspoeld door data. Maar, data an sich heeft weinig waarde en biedt geen informatie. Om impact te hebben, moet dit worden samengevoegd en …

Daily wheelchair ambulation is seen as a risk factor for shoulder problems, which are prevalent in manual wheelchair users. To examine the long-term effect of shoulder load from daily wheelchair ambulation on shoulder problems, quantification is required in real-life settings. In this study, we describe …

Background: Training load is typically described in terms of internal and external load. Investigating the coupling of internal and external training load is relevant to many sports. Here, continuous kernel-density estimation (KDE) may be a valuable tool to capture and visualize this coupling. Aim: Using …
