OBJECTIVES: Assessment of malnutrition-related muscle depletion with computed tomography (CT) using skeletal muscle index (SMI) and muscle radiation attenuation (MRA) at the third lumbar vertebra is well validated. However, SMI and MRA values at other vertebral locations and interchangeability as parameters …

At an aquaponics farm in Luxembourg called “Fësch Haff” the effect of the water quality on the growth rate and behaviour of the rainbow trout has been analysed. Three times a week the water quality in the fish tank expressed by temperature, KH (carbonate hardness), pH, ammonium/ammonia, nitrite, nitrate …

Iwell levert batterij hardware en softwareservices om energiestromen te optimaliseren. Door de aanzienlijke groei van het bedrijf en de wens om te internationaliseren is de behoefte naar een intern informatiesysteem gegroeid. Om in deze behoefte te voorzien is een ERP-systeem genaamd Netsuite aangeschaft. …

Understanding sludge rheology and optimizing equipment performance is crucial for energy efficiency in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). This study examined sludge rheology after thermal hydrolysis pretreatment (THP) at 60, 80, and 120 ◦C for 2 h, followed by anaerobic digestion (AD) at 37 ◦C for …

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 …

This study explores the effect of precipitation, evaporation, animal burrowing and the changing climate on the permeability of the clay cover layer on a dike. It also showcases the possibility of utilizing finite difference flow models, such as MODFLOW, for the simulation of various environmental impacts …

Het afstudeeronderzoek "Optimalisatie stijfheid 'E2' in langsrichting van damwanden in PLAXIS 3D" werd uitgevoerd in opdracht van CRUX Engineering BV. Het richtte zich op het optimaliseren van de stijfheidsverhouding (E2) voor damwandmodellering in PLAXIS 3D, met de focus op horizontale verplaatsingen …

In dit onderzoek wordt onderzocht wat een mogelijkheid is voor het ontwikkelen van een index die inzicht geeft in de bewaarbaarheid van graskuilsillages. Het wordt steeds belangrijker om kuilvoer van goede kwaliteit te produceren. In dit onderzoek zijn beoordelingscriteria opgesteld voor relevante parameters …

In this paper, we explore the design of web-based advice robots to enhance users' confidence in acting upon the provided advice. Drawing from research on algorithm acceptance and explainable AI, we hypothesise four design principles that may encourage interactivity and exploration, thus fostering users' …
