Chronic itching is a serious and uncomfortable condition. The scratch response might result in a vicious cycle of alternating itching and scratching. To develop psychological interventions for people suffering from chronic itching and to break the vicious itch-scratching-itch cycle, it is important to …

Abstract: Clinicians find it challenging to engage with patients who engage in self-harm. Improving the self-efficacy of professionals who treat self-harm patients may be an important step toward accomplishing better treatment of self-harm. However, there is no instrument available that assesses the …

Dit werk beschrijft de fabricage van een op titaniumcarbide nanodeeltjes gebaseerde inkjet-geprinte flexibele bidirectionele stromingssensor. Het ontwerp van de stromingssensor bestaat uit een met inkjet geprinte titaniumcarbide piëzoresistieve spanningsmeter op een polyester cantilever. De sensoren …

Photonic biosensors for medical diagnostics have been in development for some time. They have proven to show equal or better performance as compared to other techniques in terms of sensitivity, accuracy, and reliability. In order for companies to successfully introduce these sensor products on the market, …

Infants attend daycare at an early age, which raises questions about children's sensitivity to the childcare environment and the role of different temperamental traits in their development in the early years. In a two-year longitudinal study with parent- and caregiver-reported data for Dutch children …

The combined CO2 reduction potential is dependent on the deployment sequence. Deployment of CO2 mitigation measures opens and closes deployment paths. Conservative estimates do not represent the potential of heat integration measures. Approaches (e.g. MACC) are not fit for the assessment of heat integration …

This paper links self-domestication and cross-modality, using a task intended to enhance participants’ prosociality and measuring their sensitivity to linguistic cross-modal associations.

Decentralised renewable energy production in the form of fuels or electricity can have large scale deployment in future energy systems, but the feasibility needs to be assessed. The novelty of this paper is in the design and implementation of a mixed integer linear programming optimisation model to minimise …

BACKGROUND: Findings on the association between early high protein provision and mortality in ICU patients are inconsistent. The relation between early high protein provision and mortality in patients receiving CRRT remains unclear. The aim was to study the association between early high protein provision …

We report on the calibration and testing of a fiber Bragg grating (FBG)-based 2D-shape sensing strip for real-time monitoring of the position and orientation of the human spine during gait. The strip is evaluated for its use as an input for control of an exoskeleton for patients with spinal cord injury. …
