Introduction Innovation is crucial for companies who have to react to constantly changing markets. Several national and European research institutes stress the importance of developing innovation for small and medium size enterprises (SMEs). This was a trigger to design a minor on strategic innovation …

At HAN University research has been started into the development of a PEM fuel cell hybrid power train to be used in an automated guided vehicle. For this purpose a test facility is used with the possibility to test all important functional aspects of a PEM fuel cell hybrid power train. In this paper …

Paper that summarises and to discuses trends in research on interceptor guidance laws for fast-flying and/or agile air targets. The authors will present an analysis of the implications of these trends on the missile performance and in particular the robustness of the end-game guidance in military operations. …

Genomics has multiplied the number of targets for new therapeutic interventions, but this has not yet lead to a marked increase of pharma pipeline outputs. The complexity of protein function in higher order biological systems is often underestimated. Translation from in vitro and in vivo results to the …

A construction method is given for all factors that satisfy the assumptions of the model for factor analysis, including partially determined factors where certain error variances are zero. Various criteria for the seriousness of indeterminacy are related. It is shown that B. F. Green's (1976) conjecture …

Estimation of the factor model by unweighted least squares (ULS) is distribution free, yields consistent estimates, and is computationally fast if the Minimum Residuals (MinRes) algorithm is employed. MinRes algorithms produce a converging sequence of monotonically decreasing ULS function values. Various …
