Purpose Over the last 5 decades, many acoustic measures have been created to measure roughness and breathiness. The aim of this study is to present a meta-analysis of correlation coefficients (r) between auditory-perceptual judgment of roughness and breathiness and various acoustic measures in both sustained …

In this paper, we describe the development of a collaborative approach to elicit and analyse service process experience as part of a project commissioned by the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Environment. We designed and deployed a model-based instrument for measuring the experiences of both the …

Background Increased physical activity and dietary protein intake are promising interventions to prevent or treat the age-related decline in physical performance in older adults. There are well-controlled exercise as well as dietary intervention studies that show beneficial effects on physical performance …

A novel type of application for the exploration of enclosed or otherwise difficult to access environments requires large quantities of miniaturized sensor nodes to perform measurements while they traverse the environment in a “go with the flow” approach. Examples of these are the exploration of underground …

The Amsterdam Sensor Lab is part of the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (AUAS) and its goal is to develop application specific sensor systems for applied research. In order to (anonymously) measure, for instance, traffic without influencing people’s behaviour, a pressure sensing sub-tile is …

Alliance has been shown to predict treatment outcome in family-involved treatment for youth problems in several studies.However, meta-analytic research on alliance in family-involved treatment is scarce, and to date, no meta-analytic study on the alliance–outcome association in this field has paid attention …

BACKGROUND: Whether hip range of motion (ROM) is a risk factor for groin pain in athletes is not known. OBJECTIVES: To systematically review the relationship between hip ROM and groin pain in athletes in cross-sectional/case-control and prospective studies. STUDY DESIGN: Systematic review, prospectively …
