In this thesis, we present an articulated, empirical view on what human music making is, and on how this fundamentally relates to computation. The experimental evidence which we obtained seems to indicate that this view can be used as a tool, to systematically generate models, hypotheses and new technologies …

Self-tracking devices and sustainable employability.Employees’ level of sustainable employability is influenced by their health. In our study we tested whether self-tracking devices – devices that provide the user with reliable and continuous feedback on one or more health domains – can be useful tools …

Activity trackers like Fitbit are used for self-tracking of physical activity by an increasing number of individuals. Comparing physical activity scores with peers can contribute to the desired behavioural change. However, for meaningful social comparison a high inter-device reliability is paramount. …

Dit rapport focust op het kiezen, ontwerpen, realiseren en uiteindelijk testen van een analysemethode die de verspreiding van houtskool in een cold flow wervelbed (verbrandingskamer) kan bepalen. Deze coldflow opstelling is een simulatie van MILENA met 22MW thermische input. Tijdens dit afstudeerproject …

In this paper, we address the problem of people detection and tracking in crowded scenes using range cameras. We propose a new method for people detection and localisation based on the combination of background modelling and template matching. The method uses an adaptive background model in the range …

Organizations face many challenges in maintaining the quality of data in their information systems. Often offline methods like surveys are used in existing data quality management solutions. These methods, which are usually used in infrequent time intervals, suffer from high costs, high delays, and low …
