In dit onderzoek worden aanbevelingen gegeven over hoe de leerkrachten op de basisschool in Duitsland begeleiding kunnen bieden uitgaand van de verschillen tussen de tweede taalverwerving van leerlingen uit Nederland. Het doel van mijn onderzoek is om erachter te komen wat de oorzaken voor de verschillen …

The last decade has seen an increasing demand from the industrial field of computerized visual inspection. Applications rapidly become more complex and often with more demanding real time constraints. However, from 2004 onwards the clock frequency of CPUs has not increased significantly. Computer Vision …

Motivational Interviewing (MI) can effectively stimulate motivation for health behavior change, but the active ingredients of MI are not well known. To help clinicians further stimulate motivation, they need to know the active ingredients of MI. A psychometrically sound instrument is required to identify …

Anomaly detection is a key factor in the processing of large amounts of sensor data from Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). Efficient anomaly detection algorithms can be devised performing online node-local computations and reducing communication overhead, thus improving the use of the limited hardware …

This work has: •Examined, compared and evaluated 22 programming languages and environments for parallel computing on multi-core CPUs and GPUs •Chosen to use OpenMP as the standard for multi-core CPU programming and OpenCL for GPU programming •Re-implemented a number of standard and well-known algorithms …

Summary: The traditional landscape in international business has changed, for decades the Uppsala model of internationalization has been key-instrument for foreign success. Since McKinsey (1993) made notice of the term Born Global times have changed. More rapidly and in increasing numbers throughout …

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is an imaging technique for collecting depth resolved information in human tissue based on an interferometer. With an imaging depth of between 1 and 2 mm, OCT is only used to investigate (near) surfaces. But with an axial (depth) resolution of between 2 and 10 μm, and …

Objective: To examine spoken language outcomes in children undergoing bilateral cochlear implantation compared with matched peers undergoing unilateral implantation. Design: Case-control, frequency-matched, retrospective cross-sectional multicenter study. Setting: Two Belgian and 3 Dutch cochlear implantation …

INTRODUCTION: It is difficult to adjust fluid balance adequately in patients with severe burns due to various physical changes. B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) is emerging as a potential marker of hydration state. Proteinuria is used as a predictor of outcome in severe illness and might correlate to …

This case study illustrates the sequential process of the joint and individual knowledge elaboration in a computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) environment. The case comprised an Internet-based physics problem-solving platform. Six Dutch secondary school students (three males, three females) …
