BACKGROUND: Family members play a vital role in supporting patients during hospitalization, yet their involvement is often insufficiently recognized. Existing family assessment tools are typically developed for community or long-term care settings and are too complex or time-intensive for hospital use. …

Efficient hydrogen (H2) storage remains a major challenge for clean energy applications. This study presents an AI-driven methodology to optimize H2 storage in porous carbon adsorbents. A comprehensive dataset of 917 literature-derived entries was used to develop two machine learning models: Random Forest …

Intensive agriculture relies heavily on synthetic fertilizers, causing resource depletion and environmental issues such as nutrient leaching. Biogas liquid digestate offers a nutrient-rich byproduct from anaerobic digestors as a circular alternative source for plant nutrients in closed-loop. Within …

Gaussian Splatting has emerged as a powerful technique for high-fidelity 3D scene representation, yet its computational demands hinder rapid visualization, particularly on CPU-based systems. This paper introduces a lightweight method for efficient thumbnail generation from Gaussian splatting data, leveraging …

OBJECTIVES: Amplitude-mode (A-mode) ultrasonography is a promising technique to monitor loss and recovery of skeletal muscle in patients with burns. However, its clinimetric properties are unknown. Therefore, we determined its feasibility, interrater, and intrarater reliability, and clinical utility. …

This article presents a Multiscale Modeling Framework for the prediction of the progressive damage and failure analysis of laminated composites structures reinforced with carbon nanotubes (CNTs). First, the modified Halpin-Tsai (H-T) model is employed to estimate the mechanical properties of CNT-reinforced …

Het belang van het leren creëren van een expressieve uitvoering is een veelbesproken onderwerp in het muziekonderwijs. Het proces waarmee musici ‘expressiviteit’ ontwikkelen, is echter nog onderbelicht. Deze studie onderzocht de impact van improvisatietheater als instructiemiddel voor het ontwikkelen …

The shift from linear to circular business models is critical for sustainability in the construction and manufacturing sectors in the Netherlands. However, many companies face significant challenges in making this transition, including financial constraints, cultural resistance, and regulatory hurdles, …

In this unblinded multi-center stepped-wedge randomized controlled trial the effectiveness of the nurse-led ZENN-intervention was tested in promoting self-management skills in comparison to standard care among heart, lung and kidney transplant recipients. This intervention is based on behaviour change …
