While the original definition of replacement focuses on the replacement of the use of animals in science, a more contemporary definition focuses on accelerating the development and use of predictive and robust models, based on the latest science and technologies, to address scientific questions without …

Mobility hubs facilitate multimodal transport and have the potential to improve the accessibility and usability of new mobility services. However, in the context of increasing digitalisation, using mobility hubs requires digital literacy or even owning a smartphone. This constraint may result in the …

Wheelchair tennis is one of the fastest growing paralympic sports. An important part in wheelchair sports is classification, which is why the International Tennis Federation is constantly assessing the current classification requirements. The purpose of this study is to assess the relationship between …

Er is in Nederland een duidelijke tendens naar het plaatsen van zonne-energiesystemen in de gebouwde omgeving, in plaats van grote installaties in het landelijk gebied. Onderdeel van deze ambitie is het maximaal benutten van de gehele gebouwschil voor energie-opwekking. In dit project is gericht op transparante …

Waterschap Scheldestromen is carrying out a particularly innovative project named Multiflexmeter (MFM), of which the objective is to look for ways to measure the soil resistance . This means some properties and characteristics of water needs to be researched on, such as the salinity and the corresponding …

tract Micro wind turbines can be structurally integrated on top of the solid base of noise barriers near highways. A number of performance factors were assessed with holistic experiments in wind tunnel and in the field. The wind turbines underperformed when exposed in yawed flow conditions. The theoretical …

Background There currently is no field test available for measuring maximal exercise capacity in people with stroke. Objective To determine the feasibility, reproducibility and validity of the Shuttle Test (ST) to measure exercise capacity in people with stroke. Design Longitudinal study design. Setting Rehabilitation …

During the last decades there has been an uprising in stress related health problems. To counter this growing problem, a system is proposed to detect stress events at an individual level. These events can then be used as feedback in efforts to prevent chronic stress symptoms from developing. To detect …

We report on a first field test in which miniaturized sensor motes were used to explore and inspect an operational pipeline by performing in situ measurements. The spherical sensor motes with a diameter of 39 mm were equipped with an inertial measurement unit (IMU) measuring 3-D acceleration, rotation, …
