This thesis introduces a cost-effective methodology for estimating tire contact patch forces and moments at wheel centre using axial force measurements from suspension linkages. The primary aim is to reconstruct these dynamic quantities, eliminating reliance on expensive wheel force transducers (WFTs) …

An increased protein intake is required during aging to preserve muscle mass. A predominantly plant-based diet is beneficial for the climate and may lower the risk of certain non-communicable diseases, but could also lead to protein below recommendations. This study seeks to elucidate facilitators and …

Generalists in palliative care and professionals with specialized expertise, including palliative care nurses, achieve high-quality palliative care. To strengthen their role, it is essential to understand the tasks palliative care nurses perform and their position within the organizations. We aim to …

The Global Infrastructure Resilience ReportThe First Global Infrastructure Resilience (GIR) Report, published by the Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure (CDRI) in October 2023, marked a significant milestone in the global efforts to advance disaster and climate-resilient infrastructure. Addressing …

Food loss and waste (FLW) remains a critical global challenge, particularly in the food and beverage (F&B) sector, where small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) operate under tight margins and fragmented supply chains. This study investigates how F&B SMEs in the Netherlands address sustainability (including …

Background: Multidisciplinary transitional care interventions promote care coordination after hospital discharge and address (older) patients' complex care needs related to their physical, nutritional, and/or psychosocial status.  Objective: This review aimed to identify, critically appraise, and synthesize …

Background This research study applied the 'Integrated Energy Landscape Approach and the Ecosystem Services Framework' to formulate a pre-proposal for a Positive Energy District in the Hoogkerk Zuid neighborhood in Groningen, the Netherlands. Results The proposed energy saving and energy generation interventions …

This research has proved that the implementation of a Modular Connection System (MCS1) for the “WET CELL” project is not only possible but also promising, as it successfully demonstrates how modularity, circularity, and material reusability can be achieved through the optimal design and material selection. …

Throughout this thesis, a competitive durable reinforcement design for the Mastenbroek-IJssel reinforcement project is developed and modeled. In 2024 the Drents Overijsselse Delta Water Board began with the exploration phase of the Mastenbroek-IJssel reinforcement project as 10.8 km of the IJssel dike …
