Abstract: Research in higher education has revealed a significant connection between executive functions (EFs) and study success. Previous investigations have typically assessed EFs using either neuropsychological tasks, which provide direct and objective measures of core EFs components such as inhibition, …

Designing lead-free piezoelectric ceramics with tailored electrical properties remains a critical challenge for various applications. In this paper we present a novel methodology integrating Machine Learning (ML) and optimization procedures to fine-tune electrical properties in lead-free (1-x) Na0.5 …

Over the last four months I have been working at Mitsubishi Turbocharger and Engine Europe B.V. (MTEE) in Almere, Netherlands. As part of my Bachelor’s thesis assignment, I was given the task to investigate the working principle of Helmholtz resonators and evaluate the factors influencing the sound …

This document is the result of executing the final thesis about ‘a solution for the corrosion damage in Zijkanaal A in Terneuzen’. To attain the necessary competencies required for a positive result in this final thesis, Civil Engineering is heavily integrated into the ‘designing’ and ‘specifying’ aspects. …

This study sought to comprehensively examine the complex relationship between de-icing substances and asphalt pavement, with an emphasis on understanding how freeze-thaw cycles and various deicers affect infrastructure performance and longevity. The primary focus was centered around strengthening understanding …

This research investigates Aeolian sand transport in the dynamic dune area of Kop van Schouwen Meeuwenduinen, Netherlands. Despite previous studies, many aspects of sand transport in this region remain unexplored. This study aims to provide new insights into sand erosion and transport dynamics. Two …

Aims: To detect differences in speech fluency in separate primaryprogressive aphasia syndromes (PPA) using automated analysistechniques. The resulting linguistic features are evaluated for theiruse in a predictive model to identify common patterns in speakerswith PPA. As fluency is observable in audio …

This article discusses results from an international contest, open for university student teams (bachelor and master), involving the design, construction, and testing of small wind turbines in a large wind tunnel. The wind tunnel has an outlet of 2.85 x 2.85 m allowing a maximum rotor swept area of 2 …

Background: Chronic low-grade inflammatory profile (CLIP) is one of the pathways involved in type 2 diabetes (T2D). Currently, there is limited evidence for ameliorating effects of combined lifestyle interventions on CLIP in type 2 diabetes. We investigated whether a 13-week combined lifestyle intervention, …

Over the period February 2023 to July 2023, the aim was to develop a method for the determination of endotoxin in pharmaceutical products according to GMP rules. To bring this research to a successful conclusion, the intention was to demonstrate endotoxins in pharmaceutical products using the Kinetic …
