Mitigating Neuropathic Pain: From Theory to Practice: Inhibiting Neuroma Pain In­-silico and Measuring Neural Activity In­-vivo

<i>Neuropathic pain</i> (NP) affects approximately seven to ten percent of the general population. Seventeen percent of NP patients scored their life as “worse than death”. A myriad of causes may underlie NP, such as stroke or spinal cord injury. Also, damage or disease of the <i>peripheral nervous system</i> (PNS) may result in NP. One of the...

Acceleration Magnification for Visualising Blood Flow Pulsation in the Skin

While millions of people world wide suffer from arterial diseases, such as peripheral arterial disease, there are a limited number of methods that can be used to diagnose and track these diseases which are also easy, quick and non-invasive. <br/><br/>This work focuses on what is needed to improve diagnosing and tracking of peripheral arterial...

RekenRobot: Assisting primary school teachers in arithmetic education

A large problem that primary schools face is that the ratio of pupils to teachers is too high, the class sizes are too large and this makes it difficult for a single teacher to have a good oversight of how the development of a given child is going. The aim of Interactive Robotics is to tackle this problem by bringing robots into the classroom to...

On the determination of approximations of first integrals for few-body gravitational problems: With applications to capture trajectories

On the determination of approximations of first integrals using the method of integrating vectors for ODE systems, as applied to few-body gravitational problems. Considers the Jacobi 3-body problem, the circular restricted 3-body problem and a 4-body model for ballistic lunar capture. Also discusses the application of these techniques to...

On the integral-conservative numerical solution of few-body gravitational problems: With applications to capture trajectories

On the design and implementation of integral-conservative numerical integration schemes for few-body problems in astrodynamics. Focuses on exact and approximate energy and angular-momentum integrals in the Jacobi 3-body problem, and related Jacobi-type integrals in the circular restricted 3-body problem and a 4-body model for ballistic lunar...

Verkeersanalyse-apparaat (VANA)

Beschreven wordt een apparaat, dat de voor een verkeers­analyse benodigde gegevens verzamelt aan 96 telefoonlijnen. Deze gegevens worden met behulp van hoogohmige schakelingen van de te meten lijnen afgenomen. Onmiddellijk nadat op een lijn een toestandsverandering optreedt, wordt de nieuwe toestand met behulp van een 1200 b/s modem, via het...
