This article presents a variety of treatment approaches based on an understanding of four components of communication, and describes cluttering intervention focusing on problem identification, speech rate reduction, appropriate pausing, appropriate monitoring, and addressing story narrating skills. Therapeutic …

TU Delft has started working on its third satellite mission called DelFFi, which is planned for a launch in 2015. In this graduation project spanning 17 weeks, a faulttolerant storage system consisting of three SD cards was designed, implemented and tested for DelFFi that utilizes triple-modular redundancy …

In this paper the authors illustrate developments in sensor technology with a number of examples. From their own research they discuss radar, image processing and sensor networks. Radar performance is affected by propagation characteristics of electromagnetic waves. Experience has shown that this may …

This thesis describes how the abundance of CO2 a ects the porosity of H2O:CO2 ice mixtures deposited at di erent growth temperatures ranging from 30 - 70 K. The mixing ratios of the used ice samples H2O:CO2 = 10:1, 4:1 and 2:1 are of astrophysical relevance. Laser optical interference is used to monitor …

This study investigated temporal changes in movement strategy and performance during fatiguing short-cycle work. Eighteen participants performed six 7-min work blocks with repetitive reaching movements at 0.5 Hz, each followed by a 5.5-min rest break for a total duration of 1 h. Electromyography (EMG) …

This thesis sets out to discover whether a experimental approach to architectural designing would be feasible as a new design strategy. The goal of this approach is to create a higher learning curve during designing and more stimulation innovation in the build environment. Hopefully resulting in less …

Full text via link. This study compares the reliability and reproducibility of flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) and peripheral arterial tonometry (PAT) to assess endothelial function. Eighteen volunteers with coronary heart disease underwent simultaneous testing of FMD by means of brachial artery ultrasound …

Enige tijd geleden presenteerde de commissie Lemstra haar rapport over het Maasstad ziekenhuis Rotterdam, waar de klebsiella bacterie heerste. Opvallend uit het rapport is de dominante rol die de lijstjes met de 'beste ziekenhuizen' van Elsevier en het Algemeen Dagblad vervullen binnen de strategie van …

Game development businesses often choose Lua for separating scripted game logic from reusable engine code. Lua can easily be embedded, has simple interfaces, and offers a powerful and extensible scripting language. Using Lua, developers can create prototypes and scripts at early development stages. However, …

This study investigated the effect of work pace on workload, motor variability and fatigue during light assembly work. Upper extremity kinematics and electromyography (EMG) were obtained on a cycle-to-cycle basis for eight participants during two conditions, corresponding to "normal" and "high" work …
