The improvement of passive fire protection of storage vessels is a key factor to enhance safety among the LPG distribution chain. A thermal and mechanical model based on finite elements simulations was developed to assess the behaviour of full size tanks used for LPG storage and transportation in fire …

The design and realization of a healthy indoor environment is a challenge that is investigated from different perspectives at the unit Building Physics and Systems (BPS; Faculty of Architecture, Building and Planning) of Eindhoven University of Technology. Performance requirements (for instance, with …

This study investigates the effects of a competency-oriented course and the effects of feedback training on students’ reflection skills. Thirty-one nursing students enrolled in a conventional course with lectures and assignments following a traditional test. Subsequently, they enrolled in a competency-oriented …

Onderzoeksvraag Wat is de invloed van een training van de rompstabiliteit op de spierkracht van de extremiteiten? Doel Binnen de fysiotherapie bestaan verschillende trainingen waarbij men als fysiotherapeut de spierkracht van de extremiteiten wil laten toenemen. Hierbij wordt er veelal alleen de lokale …

Doel Door het groeiende aantal werknemers met een burnout komt ook de eerstelijns fysiotherapeut steeds vaker in aanraking met het ziektebeeld burnout. Er is echter nog geen voorlichtingsprotocol voor deze beroepsgroep ontwikkeld, dat beschrijft hoe een werknemer met burnout benaderd en behandeld dient te …

Local Gabor features (jets) have been widely used in face recognition systems. Once the sets of jets have been extracted from the two faces to be compared, a proper measure of similarity (or distance) between corresponding features should be chosen. For instance, in the well known Elastic Bunch Graph …

In a real-world environment a face detector can be applied to extract multiple face images from multiple video streams without constraints on pose and illumination. The extracted face images will have varying image quality and resolution. Moreover, also the detected faces will not be precisely aligned. …

Abstract A research design was created in theory for a clinical trial, which should answer the question: will physical therapy by giving an aerobic trainingprogram, lead to an increase of the Health Related Quality of Life in patients suffering from leukaemia and as a consequence received autologous …

Objective. In this study an experimental set-up for measuring skin microvascular responses of the footsole to changes in externally applied pressure was analysed. Design. A clinical study. Skin microvascular blood flow was measured in healthy volunteers, during and after external mechanical pressure …
