Within this context, governmental bodies and/or companies often note sustainability as an end goal, for instance as a green circular economy. However, if sustainability cannot be clearly …

Traditional IMU based PDR systems suffer from rapidly growing drift effects due to the inherent bias of the inertial sensor. Many existing solutions to mitigate this problem use aiding sensors or information as heuristics or map data. We propose a new optimization framework to solve the PDR estimation problem …

Additionally, it connects the island Noord-Beveland to Zuid-Beveland over the provincial road N256, by means of a movable …

The mass adoption of Electric Vehicles (EVs) might raise pressure on the power system, especially during peak hours. Therefore, there is a need for delayed charging. However, to optimize the charging system, the progression of charging from an empty battery to a full battery of the EVs, based on real-world …

For 40 years, companies and academia see logistics as a main ‘process’ within companies. Supply chain become an individual department similar as purchasing, sales, finance and R&D. Focussing on supply chain can lead to success but still are a lot of companies not aware of the possibilities of this discipline. …

Cutaneous melanoma is a type of skin cancer that develops from benign melanocytes to one of the most aggressive types of skin tumors in human. In cutaneous melanoma progression, the metastasis phase is the most challenging phase to treat. To enable earlier treatment options, a better understanding of …

Nursing homes are challenged to develop staffing strategies that enable them to efficiently meet the healthcare demand of their residents. In this study, we investigate how demand for care and support fluctuates over time and during the course of a day, using demand data from three independent nursing …
