This project helps to reach the end goal of doing long distance measurements. Long distance measurements depends on the refractive index of air. The refractive index depends on temperature, pressure, humidity and gas mixture. The biggest uncertainty of calculating the refractive index is the temperature, …

There are several greenhouses built with solar panels integrated into the roof. In summer time this will operate very well, although broad shadow stripes can result in growth and yield differences. In winter the amount of sunlight is further limited by the solar panels and will result in further reduction …

The objective of this concept is a significant reduction of energy consumption in greenhouses and buildings with large facades and windows by using available solar energy. The scope of this investigation is to study the advantages of a building integrated CPV system. The basic idea is that a larger fraction …

Organic wastes like cooking-waste, farm-waste and manure have detrimental effect on the environment, health and hygiene of people. Within India there are possibilities to manage the available biomass in an efficient way, which can bring environmental, health and economic benefits. Through anaerobic digestion, …

Fuel cell hybrid power trains comprise an energy storage to supply peaks in the power demand and to facilitate regenerative braking. In terms of control systems, the presence of storage provides additional freedom to minimize the vehicle’s fuel consumption. In a previous paper [1] an analytical solution …

A new type of greenhouse with linear Fresnel lenses in the cover performing as a concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) system is presented. The CPV system retains all direct solar radiation, while diffuse solar radiation passes through and enters into the greenhouse cultivation system. The removal of all direct …

Background: There are many ways clinicians measure pain intensity in patients with musculoskeletal conditions, such as a Whiplash Associated Disorder. Objective: To assess if some ratings of pain are scored systematically higher than others and whether this pattern changes with increasing symptom duration …

Throughout the world greenhouse horticulture is expanding and intensifying. The expansion is driven by the much higher production levels that are achieved in greenhouses compared to open fields. This provides increased income for farmers and a positive effect on rural development. Intensification is …

Art sociologist Pascal Gielen defends the hypothesis that global art scene is an ideal production entity for economic exploitation. These days the workethic of the art world with its ever-present young dynamic, flexible working hours, thematic approach, short-term contracts or lack of contracts and its …

Er is een literatuur onderzoek gedaan in opdracht van het Medisch Trainingscentrum Geldrop. Dit onderzoek is gedaan naar de betrouwbaarheid, validiteit en bruikbaarheid van testen die het aërobe vermogen bepalen bij personen die bètablokkers gebruiken. Bètablokkers onderdrukken de hartfrequentie. Daardoor …
