Welkom: Towards sustainable urban development for a socio-economically mixed neighbourhood and liveable Spangen, Tussendijken and Bospolder

Improved liveability in the neighbourhoods Spangen, Tussendijken and Bospolder is desirable. A more socio-economically diverse population partly contributes to this. Gentrification makes wealthier residents move into the neighbourhoods in a short period of time. Yet, it causes a decrease in affordable housing and a chance of the disappearing of...

Two hands, one goal: Functional coupling in the wrist joints during a bimanual task

Bimanual coordination is essential for the performance of daily activities, but the underlying motor control mechanisms are not yet fully understood. The goal of the present study is to identify the contribution of contralateral responses in the wrist joints to the performance of a bimanual task. Contralateral responses could possibly be used in...

Market risk calculations in stock- and bond prices: a garch-copula approach

The linear correlation models did not foresee the extreme losses in asset values, because they were not able to forecast high volatile markets in which the dependence between financial...
