We describe here the design and implementation of the Fashion Tech Farm (FTF), which aims to drive sustainable innovation in garments and fashion. We describe our goals, design principles, and the implementation. The design principles are rooted in an understanding of the fashion system, open networks, …

While writing this report, the construction is ongoing of the Oosterweel Connection project of the ring of Antwerp ongoing. This project is about completing the ring of Antwerp from West to North around the city. This project aims to improve the connectivity around the city and the port of Antwerp. A …

Study objective: The three-dimensional shape of the ultrasound beam produces a thicker scan plane than most users assume. Viewed longitudinally, a needle placed lateral to a vessel just outside the central scanning plane can be displayed incorrectly in the ultrasound image as if placed intravascularly. …

The goal of this thesis is achieving saturation intensity of 76.5 mW/cm2for 2S1/2F=1 - 2P1/2F = 2 transition in singly-ionized beryllium ions (Be+). By enlarging the optical power of a laser diode at 626.266 nm via a bow-tie cavity and converting to 313.133 nm using Second Harmonic Generation in a nonlinear …

Background and purpose: Automatic approaches are widely implemented to automate dose optimization in radiotherapy treatment planning. This study systematically investigates how to configure automatic planning in order to create the best possible plans. Materials and methods: Automatic plans were generated …

Cone beam CT scanners use much less radiation than to normal CT scans. However, compared to normal CT scans the images are noisy, showing several artifacts. The UNet Convolutional Neural Network may provide a way to reconstruct the a CT image from cone beam scans.

Electric pulse fishing is a very promising and innovative solution instead of using tickler chains such as beam trawling, to enable the catch flat fish. Bottom-trawling activities on the marine ecosystem cause the scrape of the surface or dig into the seabed. The penetration of the gears produce the …

In het Catharina Ziekenhuis wordt de Image-Guided Radiotherapy (IGRT)-verificatie bij de patiënten die een bestraling ondergaan voor de mamma/thoraxwand inclusief de supraclaviculaire klierregio’s gedaan middels een Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT)-scan. Hiermee kan beoordeeld worden hoe groot de …

Binnen radiotherapie is positieverificatie middels Image-Guided Radiotherapy van groot belang. Het verhoogt de nauwkeurigheid van de behandeling waardoor bijwerkingen worden beperkt. Instituut Verbeeten hanteert een online correctieprotocol, waarbij positieverificatie plaatsvindt middels kV-imaging (2D-2D) …

In deze fantoomstudie werd onderzocht in hoeverre een 123I-IBZM en 123 I-FP-CIT-SPECT-CT met een LEHR-collimator in combinatie met een xSPECT- reconstructie of flash-reconstructie, tot een betere beeldkwaliteit leidt in vergelijking met een SPECT- onderzoek met een fanbeam collimator. Op basis van kwantitatieve …
