Objectives Adherence to lifestyle interventions is crucial for the treatment of obesity. However, there is little research about adherence to lifestyle interventions in persons around retirement age. The objectives of this study are (1) to identify factors associated with the adherence to resistance …

Background: Both the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) and daily life gait quality and quantity obtained from wearable sensors are used to measure functional status in older adults. It is generally assumed that they are interrelated and exchangeable, but this has not yet been established. Interchangeability …

Rationale In bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) measurements, one pair of electrodes is typically placed dorsal on the right hand (position A) and one pair on the foot. In patients with fragile skin, scars or wounds, this dorsal hand placement is not always possible. This study compares agreement …

Een van de onderdelen van het TSDCE project, WP3, betreft het meten en een veldtest op locatie. Hierbij wordt in Amsterdam op locatie gemeten, waarbij het vooral gaat om de dynamiek van veranderingen in belasting (bij remmen en optrekken). Het is gelukt om het verloop van de spanning van de bovenleiding …

Introduction: Early Warning Score (EWS) protocols are based on intermittent vital sign measurements, and aim to detect clinical deterioration in a timely manner. Despite its predictive value, its effectiveness remains suboptimal. An important limitation appears to be poor compliance with the EWS protocol …

Many citizens experience ambivalence – having simultaneously positive and negative evaluations – about changing their behaviour towards a more environmentally friendly lifestyle. Based on 36 studies, this study identifies and synthesises the current evidence on how ambivalence impacts environmental behaviours. …

Bumping Elbows explores a workflow integrating 3D body scanning technology with robotic knitting to create personalized garments. Traditional 3D knitting development relies on 2D drafts and panels, rooted in industrial flatbed knitting practices. Our approach leverages accurate topology measurements …

As Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication technologies gain prominence, ensuring human safety from radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic fields (EMF) becomes paramount. This study critically examines human RF exposure in the context of ITS-5.9 GHz V2X connectivity, employing a combination of numerical …

In this work, in situ measurements of the radio frequency electromagnetic field exposure have been conducted for an indoor massive MIMO 5G base station operating at 26–28 GHz. Measurements were performed at six different positions (at distances between 9.94 and 14.32 m from the base station), of which …

The outdoor model of the FAT Scope interactive binoculars by 100%FAT has marketing potential, but its current hardware setup has prohibitively high power draw from its battery. This research aims to measure the power draw, find significantly contributing components and investigate their optimization …
