This paper introduces a novel distributed algorithm designed to optimize the deployment of access points within Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) for better service quality in infrastructure less environments. The algorithm operates based on local, independent execution by each network node, thus ensuring …

Abstract: Electronic and electrical waste (e-waste) is growing fast. The purpose of this study is to examine young consumers’ purchase intention of refurbished electronic devices (REDs) such as laptop, tablet, mobile phone and game console. From literature review the factors that influence young consumers’ …

The 5th generation of mobile communications is designed to employ both FR1 and FR2 bands throughout the world. The higher frequency bands (i.e., FR2 n257 26.50 - 29.50 GHz) are posing several challenges to operators and national telecom agencies for performing electromagnetic fields (EMF) measurements. …

Many ARM Cortex-M-based microcontrollers include tracing features which allow monitoring hardware events (e.g. exceptions occurring, a specific instruction being executed or a specific address range being accessed by the CPU). Tracing enables non-intrusive insight into software execution (i.e. software …

We present the Stargazing Live! program comprising a planetarium experience and supporting lesson activities for pre-university physics education. The mobile planetarium aims to inspire and motivate learners using real telescope data during the experience. Learners then consolidate their learning by …

Localization is a crucial skill in mobile robotics because the robot needs to make reasonable navigation decisions to complete its mission. Many approaches exist to implement localization, but artificial intelligence can be an interesting alternative to traditional localization techniques based on model …

Urban experimentation has been increasingly applied as a tool for finding new ways to face grand societal and environmental challenges⁠. Social learning and reflectivity that urban experiments might trigger are seen as crucial mechanisms in this process⁠. Nevertheless, it often remains unclear how to …

Deze thesis beschrijft het ontwerpen en realiseren van een vervangende hybride applicatie voor het bedrijf Voorstroom door Emiel Haarhuis. Er wordt in de thesis onder andere aandacht besteed aan:  - Het opstellen van een requirementsanalyse. Hierbij zijn er zowel 'User Requirements ', 'Technical …

In foul decision-making by football referees, visual search is important for gathering task-specific information to determine whether a foul has occurred. Yet, little is known about the visual search behaviours underpinning excellent on-field decisions. The aim of this study was to examine the on-field …

DurableCASE aims for a cooperativity framework for mobile (agro)robots. The framework comprises multiple software agents, partly centralized and partly to be integrated in high-level individual robot planning, that allow individual robots to become part of a team, performing functions faster and/ or …
