Dekker-Van Doorn, Connie (author), Wauben, L.S.G.L. (author), Van Wijngaarden, Jeroen (author), Lange, Johan (author), Huijsman, Robbert (author)Background: Most interventions to improve patient safety (Patient Safety Practices (PSPs)), are introduced without engaging front-line professionals. Administrative staff, managers and sometimes a few professionals, representing only one or two disciplines, decide what to change and how. Consequently, PSPs are not fully adapted to the...journal article 2020

Knulst, A.J. (author), Harms, Jan Jouke (author), Dankelman, J. (author)Surgeons have indicated ergonomic problems with the surgical luminaire, which have been observed to occur during repositioning. The possibility of singularity, within the movement space of the translational subsystem of the current double-arm suspension systems, is confirmed to be the cause of these problems. In this study, a redesign of the...journal article 2020

van Dijk, E.J.H. (author), Pronk, M. (author), van Loosdrecht, Mark C.M. (author)The settling behavior of aerobic granular sludge (AGS) in full-scale reactors is different from the settling of normal activated sludge. Current activated sludge models lack the features to describe the segregation of granules based on size during the settling process. This segregation plays an important role in the granulation process and...journal article 2020

van Adrichem, R.C. (author), Jovanova, J. (author)As machines and robots become a increasingly larger part of society, it is important that they are fully accepted. If the machines are not utilized as intended, it is not only a waste of time and energy, but also of valuable resources. This acceptance by humans of robots is based on how well the interaction with robots is trusted. Trust of...conference paper 2021
