To better control the growing process of horticulture plants greenhouse growers need an automated way to efficiently and effectively find where diseases are spreading.The HiPerGreen project has done research in using an autonomous quadcopter for this scouting. In order for the quadcopter to be able …

Research was conducted to enable remote control of a humanoid robotic arm using movements of the human arm. Several options for the measurement technique have been discussed, resulting in a proposal for usage of MARG sensor modules to measure human arm movement. The InvenSense MPU9250 sensors where used, …

Dit verslag behandeld het research- en ontwikkelproces van het automatische EQ en Delay optimalisatie algoritme en het bijbehorende hardware advies. Dit document heeft als doel om informatie te verschaffen over het tot stand komen van het algoritme en het hardware advies. Het doel van dit systeem …

How do “human” prejudices reemerge in algorithmic cultures allegedly devised to be blind to them? To answer this question, this book investigates a fundamental axiom in computer science: pattern discrimination. By imposing identity on input data, in order to filter—that is, to discriminate—signals from …

Traditional IMU based PDR systems suffer from rapidly growing drift effects due to the inherent bias of the inertial sensor. Many existing solutions to mitigate this problem use aiding sensors or information as heuristics or map data. We propose a new optimization framework to solve the PDR estimation problem …

Coastal tourism and recreation are one of the most rapidly growing fields worldwide and people spend more time outdoors. Skin protection is, in this respect, important to prevent severe skin damage and skin aging. The past decades the awareness and the importance of skin protection against long time …

Lozen op het oppervlaktewater en de wortelstok van de lisdodde als veevoer, dat is wat een kaasfabriek in het noorden van Nederland wil. Dit onderzoek levert een bijdrage aan het grotere onderzoek of deze wensen haalbaar zijn. In het effluentwater zit een te hoog stikstofgehalte, waardoor de kaasfabriek …

Panel discussion on big data, algorithmic profiling, filter bubbles and political populism with Florian Cramer, Daniel Irrgang, Matteo Pasquinelli, Vesselin Popov, Peter Weibel and Siegried Zielinski. In: The political economy of data: on psychometrics, deep learning and net populism. Daniel Irrgang, …

Arsenic contamination of groundwater is a major public health concern worldwide. The problem has been reported mainly in southern Asia and, especially, in Bangladesh. Slow-sand filters (SSF) augmented with iron were proven to be a simple, low-cost and decentralized technique for the treatment of arsenic-contaminated …

To ensure stability for ships, ballast water is often used to correct or adjust the list or trim of a ship. After loading the ballast water is often carried across the ocean and discharged in an area with another aquatic environment. As a result, invasive species can end up in the water and effect the …
