OBJECTIVES Previous studies regarding nursing documentation focused primarily on documentation quality, for instance, in terms of the accuracy of the documentation. The combination between accuracy measurements and the quality and frequencies of outcome variables such as the length of the hospital stay …

Digital media allowed for the emergence of new artistic practices and innovative modes of production. In particular, the advent of Internet and digital technologies drastically enhanced the ability for multiple authors to collaborate towards the creation of large-scale collaborative works, which stand …

Bed-ridden nursing home residents are in need of environments which are homelike and facilitate the provision of care. Design guidance for this group of older people is limited. This study concerned the exploration and generation of innovative environmental enrichment scenarios for bed-ridden residents. …

In the production of fermented foods, microbes play an important role. Optimization of fermentation processes or starter culture production traditionally was a trial-and-error approach inspired by expert knowledge of the fermentation process. Current developments in high-throughput 'omics' technologies …

Organisations are increasingly becoming interdependent in order to create and deliver superior value to their customers. The resulting business mod- els of such organisations are becoming increasingly complex and difficult to de- sign, because they have to deal with multiple stakeholders and their competing …

This work provides a feasibility study on estimating the 3-D locations of several thousand miniaturized free-floating sensor platforms. The localization is performed on basis of sparse ultrasound range measurements between sensor platforms and without the use of beacons. We show that this task can be …

Blog post op de blog van het Amsterdam Creative Industries Network. Tijdens de Berlin Music Week hebben Inholland-onderzoekers Koos Zwaan en Sabine de Lat van het lectoraat Media, Cultuur en Burgerschap de eerste bevindingen gepresenteerd van een lopend onderzoeksproject getiteld ‘No Limits: The Value …

The challenges of tomorrow’s society demand new ways of innovation – a shift in thinking, doing and organising.

© Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2014. Creating agents that are capable of emulating similar socio-cultural dynamics to those found in human interaction remains as one of the hardest challenges of artificial intelligence. This problem becomes particularly important when considering embodied …

A rail-guided robotic system is currently being designed for the inspection of ballast water tanks in ships. This robotic system will manipulate sensors toward the interior walls of the tank. In this paper, the influence of rail compliance on the end-effector position error due to ship movement is investigated. …
