Athlete impairment level is an important factor in wheelchair mobility performance (WMP) in sports. Classification systems, aimed to compensate impairment level effects on performance, vary between sports. Improved understanding of resemblances and differences in WMP between sports could aid in optimizing …

Presentation: Sensors for behavioural monitoring

Background: Recent technological developments such as wearable sensors and tablets with a mobile internet connection hold promise for providing electronic health home-based programs with remote coaching for patients following total hip arthroplasty. It can be hypothesized that such a home-based rehabilitation …

With climate change and urban development, water systems are changing faster than ever. Currently, the ecological status of water systems is still judged based on single point measurements, without taking into account the spatial and temporal variability of water quality and ecology. There is a need …

This paper extends the 'go-with-the-flow' method to explore enclosed environments, like oil reservoirs, pipe lines that transport liquids, and industrial tanks for processing chemicals, where sensing nodes cannot establish communication with the external world. Nonetheless, large quantities of highly …

Hundreds of sensors in our smartphones, cars, houses and other "smart" devices feed the IoT, that monitors both our functioning, and that of the smart devices. In 2050 the Internet of Things - which processes and stores all sensor data - will require a multiple of all the current energy together in air …

The creation of an unstoppable Internet of Things (IoT) is about the worst that can happen to us as humanity. Not only will the IoT soon use more energy than all our current air traffic, it will also be quite easy to create an Orwelian (1984) terror from it. In particular, the IoT is powered by sensors, …

Inauguration professorship

De havens die Groningen Seaports (GSP) faciliteert, zijn relatief kleine havens waar het tij bepaalt welke schepen kunnen aanmeren. GSP wil de concurrentie met grotere havens aangaan door voorop te lopen met innovatie en zet hier bewust stappen in. Denk aan het faciliteren van zelf varende schepen en …
