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 …

This thesis aimed to understand how Tensar’s current design methods work, in relation to the calculation of working platforms. Thereafter, a full breakdown of each design method’s limitations was addressed, with this thesis focusing on the problem of stratification, in the T-value method. This limitation …

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 …

The Eastern Scheldt faces sand starvation as a result of the Eastern Scheldt storm surge barrier construction, which has led to a decreased tidal prism and subsequent loss of intertidal areas. These areas are crucial for birds and seals to rest and forage for food. To address this issue, Rijkswaterstaat …

This GitHub repository contains the code for a RShiny App for the calculation of center of pressure parameters for individuals performing a balance task. Such data can be obtained from (consumer grade) force plates like the AMTI, Kistler, Bertec or Wii Balance Board.

Calculation of the 95% predicted ellipse area in R from center of pressure measurements by means of posturography, following the code as published by Dr. P Schubert and Dr. M. Kirschner

As the year passes, keeping themselves afloat has become more challenging for the Netherlands. Climate change and sea level rise are primary factors influencing the maintenance and reinforcement of the country's dikes system. Therefore, a new Delta Plan has been implemented to make the dikes system climate-proof …

The aim of this thesis is to assess the reliability and accuracy of Miedema's clay-cutting model by critically examining its underlying assumptions and investigating potential discrepancies. The research questions revolve around identifying the inconsistencies in nomenclature, evaluating the chosen strain …

Op 16 mei van 15:30 tot 17:30 uur presenteerden Bert Kooi en Sandra Bellekom het energie- optimalisatiemodel van de Hanzehogeschool Groningen. Dit model geeft inzicht in de optimale configuratie van een energiesysteem op systeemniveau, denk aan de energievoorziening voor een heel dorp of wijk. Het model …

Op 25 oktober 2022 berekenden we met z'n allen aan de mogelijkheden en onmogelijkheden van elektrische opslag. Het was een levendige bijeenkomst en voor veel deelnemers bracht het een aantal nieuwe inzichten. Bijvoorbeeld het beperkte verlies aan energie wanneer er afgetopt wordt, maar ook de beperkte …
