(author)The Fe<sub>2</sub>P type Mn–Fe–P–Si alloys exhibit a giant magneto-elastic first-order transition, but the large hysteresis limits their performance. Crystal structure evolution and magnetocaloric performance were investigated by varying the Mn and Fe contents at a constant V substitution of 0.02 in Fe<sub>2</sub>P-type (Mn<sub>1.17-x</sub>Fe...journal article 2024

van Dijk, M.P. (author), Hoozemans, Marco J.M. (author), Berger, M.A.M. (author), Veeger, H.E.J. (author)In wheelchair sports, there is an increasing need to monitor mechanical power in the field. When rolling resistance is known, inertial measurement units (IMUs) can be used to determine mechanical power. However, upper body (i.e., trunk) motion affects the mass distribution between the small front and large rear wheels, thus affecting rolling...journal article 2024
