A resource optimization methodology is proposed for application in long range wide area networks (LoRaWANs). Using variable neighborhood search (VNS) and a minimum-cost spanning tree algorithm, it reduces the implementation and the maintenance costs of such low power networks. Performance evaluations …

Blockchain is a new promising technology for SMEs. This paper analyses 17 blockchain feasibility studies in order to answer the question, in which cases blockchain creates value for individual companies and how does it create this value. The research is conducted by Windesheim and Rotterdam Universities …

Dit artikel richt zich op de ontwikkeling van een onderzoeksagenda voor Greening Corridors waarin het verduurzamen van achterlandverbindingen centraal staat. Het verduurzamen van de corridors wordt breed ingestoken langs een drietal thema’s (1) betere benutting van capaciteit; (2) schone, veilige en …

Wine is a global product, created and consumed almost everywhere in the world. The wine sector tends to always increase in production, consumption or new types of wine.

The emergence of wearable sensor technology may provide opportunities for automated measurement of psychophysiological markers of mental and physical fitness, which can be used for personalized feedback. This study explores to what extent within-subject changes in resting heart rate variability (HRV) …

De zorgen over de invloed van chatbots zoals ChatGPT op het onderwijs zijn veelal onterecht, schrijft Pieter van Boheemen van de Hogeschool Rotterdam. Hij betoogt dat dergelijke kunstmatige intelligentie eerder een extra klasgenoot vormt dan een bedreiging van de waarde van scholing.

Background: Experienced assessors show good intra-rater reproducibility (within-session and between-session agreement and reliability) when using an algometer to determine pressure pain thresholds (PPT). However, it is unknown whether novice assessors perform equally well. This study aimed to determine …

INTRODUCTION: Entrustable professional activities (EPAs) are used during training but may also have significance after graduation. This domain has not yet been much explored. We investigated the use of EPAs among alumni of Master Physician Assistant programs in the Netherlands, where EPAs have been used …

Een op de vijf entreestudenten en bijna een op de 10 mbo niveau 2 studenten stopt voortijdig met de opleiding (DUO, 2022). Uit eerder onderzoek (Baay, 2015; Slagter & Van Veldhuizen, 2021) blijkt dat studenten op entree- en mbo 2-niveau weinig gebruik maken van de aanwezige hulpbronnen, dat wil zeggen …

Dynamic inflow effects occur due to the rapid change of the rotor loading under conditions such as fast pitch steps. The paper presents a setup suitable for the investigation of those effects for non-axisymmetric rotor conditions, namely individual pitch steps. Furthermore, insights into the relevant …
