Awareness of climate change and stricter emission regulations have accelerated the search for sustainable energy solutions. A central goal is carbon-neutral energy use, minimizing greenhouse gas emissions while ensuring reliable energy supply. In applications with limited grid access—such as festivals, …

This study evaluates the performance of a counter-rotating dual rotor wind turbine (CR-DRWT) with 2 m2 rotor radius equipped with a double rotational armature in an open jet wind tunnel. With only one similar-sized design previously assessed in a wind tunnel, this study offers valuable validation material …

Paralympic wheelchair athletes solely depend on the power of their upper-body for their on-court wheeled mobility as well as for performing sport-specific actions in ball sports, like a basketball shot or a tennis serve. The objective of WheelPower is to improve the power output of athletes in their …

This study presents a methodology designed to optimize various parameters of each access point within a Multiple-Input Single-Output (MISO) Visible Light Communication (VLC) system. The primary objective is to enhance both power and spectral efficiencies. A MISO-VLC model is presented based on experimental …

The circular economy (CE) is heralded as reducing material use and emissions while providing more jobs and growth. We explored this narrative in a series of expert workshops, basing ourselves on theories, methods and findings from science fields such as global environmental input-output analysis, business …

An important performance determinant in wheelchair sports is the power exchanged between the athlete wheelchair combination and the environment, in short, mechanical power. Inertial measurement units (IMUs) might be used to estimate the exchanged mechanical power during wheelchair sports practice. However, …

Change Now! is an open access, online publication featuring essays by international artists, educators and scholars addressing key topics in relation to power, oppression and equity in theatre and performing arts education including: social safety – consent – intimacy coordination – brave space power …

Inleiding: Uit wetenschappelijk onderzoek blijkt dat er variatie bestaat in de interne belasting die voetbalspelers ervaren, zelfs bij een gelijke externe belasting(Castagna et al., 2011). De fysieke capaciteiten van professionele voetballers kunnen hier invloed op hebben (Rabbani, et al., 2021). Dit …

In veel onderzoeken naar en aanpakken in de energietransitie in Nederland, met name die waar bewonersinitiatieven een rol spelen, wordt vertrouwen als een belangrijke factor beschreven. In dit onderzoek wordt onderzocht welke bronnen van vertrouwen een rol spelen bij (de ontwikkeling) van lokale energie-initiatieven …

Previous research shows that power training can increase power output in older adults and may also improve physical performance, physical functioning, and independence. However, power training interventions have not been optimized for older adults. The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility …
