The International Protein Summit in 2016 brought experts in clinical nutrition and protein metabolism together from around the globe to determine the impact of high-dose protein administration on clinical outcomes and address barriers to its delivery in the critically ill patient. It has been suggested …

The ‘precision’ in Precision Livestock Farming is not the same as that of precision engineering in high-tech industry. It’s not about micro- and nanometers, but about the precise control of farming management with the aid of sensing and data processing. However, there is overlap in the technological …

From the article: "A facile approach for the fabrication of large-scale interdigitated nanogap electrodes (nanogap IDEs) with a controllable gap was demonstrated with conventional micro-fabrication technology to develop chemocapacitors for gas sensing applications. In this work, interdigitated nanogap …

Eind 2016 is vanuit o.a. Van Hall Larenstein en Bureau Waardenburg een KCNL project gestart voor integrale monitoring van begrazing in de Noordwaard met behulp van vernieuwende technieken. Een van de aspecten die onderzocht wordt is de vegetatiestructuurontwikkeling. Deze kennis kan gebruikt worden om …

Accumulating evidence dismisses the idea that bacteria are solitary bugs, living a completely independent existence. Instead, this definition is being replaced by the notion that bacteria are intimately communicating organisms holding tight relations to one another. One such process through which this …

Integrated photonic sensors are promising devices for various sensing applications due to their low cost, small size, and high sensitivities that can be reached. In this thesis, ring resonators and three-port Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) devices fabricated on Silicon-On-Insulator were compared for …

Participatory data collection relies on the commitment of the participants to report data continuously, which makes providing incentives to people crucial. In this case study, we describe how we designed a web app by using different incentive mechanisms to collect participatory data for monitoring community …

Author supplied from the article: Abstract A temperature compensated hydrogen sensor was designed and made capable of detecting H2 within a broad range of 100–10.000 ppm while compensating instantaneously for large (±25 °C) temperature variations. Two related operational constraints have been simultaneously …

Good reproduction is key for successful dairyfarming. Detection of estrus is the first step in getting acow pregnant. Visual detection of estrus is a challengingjob, to aid the farmer, estrus detection tools (EDT), suchas pedometers, neck mounted collars to measure activityand pressure sensing devices …
