Buzink, S.N. (author), Goossens, R.H.M. (author), Schoon, E.J. (author), De Ridder, H. (author), Jakimowicz, J.J. (author)Background - Surgical techniques that draw from multiple types of image-based procedures (IBP) are increasing, such as Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery, fusing laparoscopy and flexible endoscopy. However, little is known about the relation between psychomotor skills for performing different types of IBP. For example, do basic...journal article 2010

Rafei, M. (author), Van Horssen, W.T. (author)In this paper, the concept of invariance factors for second order difference equations to obtain first integrals or invariants will be presented. It will be shown that all invariance factors have to satisfy a functional equation. Van Horssen (J. Indones. Math. Soc. 13:1–15, 2007) developed a perturbation method for a single first order...journal article 2010

Buzink, S.N. (author), Van Lier, L. (author), De Hingh, I.H.J.T. (author), Jakimowicz, J.J. (author)Background - Awareness of the relative high rate of adverse events in laparoscopic surgery created a need to safeguard quality and safety of performance better. Technological innovations, such as integrated operating room (OR) systems and checklists, have the potential to improve patient safety, OR efficiency, and surgical outcomes. This study...journal article 2010

Wauben, L.S.G.L. (author), Goossens, R.H.M. (author), Lange, J.F. (author)Background - Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is the most performed minimal invasive surgical procedure and has a relatively high complication rate. As complications are often revealed postoperatively, clear, accurate, and timely written operative notes are important in order to recall the procedure and start follow-up treatment as soon as...journal article 2010

Horeman, T. (author), Jansen, F.W. (author), Dankelman, J. (author)Background - The risk of obtaining a postsurgical infection depends highly on the air quality surrounding the exposed tissue, surgical instruments, and materials. Many isolators for open surgery have been invented to create a contained sterile volume around the exposed tissue. With the use of an isolator, a surgical procedure can be performed...journal article 2010

Stamatelatos, I.E. (author), Tzika, F. (author), Vasilopoulou, T. (author), Koster-Ammerlaan, M.J.J. (author)Large Sample Neutron Activation Analysis (LSNAA) was applied to perform non-destructive elemental analysis of a ceramic vase. Appropriate neutron self-shielding and gamma ray detection efficiency calibration factors were derived using Monte Carlo code MCNP5. The results of LSNAA were compared against Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis ...journal article 2010

Dommers, S. (author), Van der Hofstad, R. (author), Hooghiemstra, G. (author)In this paper, we investigate the diameter in preferential attachment (PA-) models, thus quantifying the statement that these models are small worlds. The models studied here are such that edges are attached to older vertices proportional to the degree plus a constant, i.e., we consider affine PA-models. There is a substantial amount of...journal article 2010

Kanis, M. (author), Brinkman, W.P. (author)This article discusses the sharing of daily pleasures with lightweight technology. Two mobile applications called PosiPost Me (Mobile internet edition) and PosiPost Be (Bluetooth edition) were developed to understand the potential of remote and proximity-based sharing of positive messages. These implementations are compared through an empirical...journal article 2010

(author), Slart, R.H.J.A. (author)Preclinical cardiovascular research using noninvasive radionuclide and hybrid imaging systems has been extensively developed in recent years. Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is based on the molecular tracer principle and is an established tool in noninvasive imaging. SPECT uses gamma cameras and collimators to form projection...journal article 2010

Savran, V.I. (author), Offerman, S.E. (author), Sietsma, J. (author)Austenite nucleation and growth is studied during continuous heating using three-dimensional X-ray diffraction (3-D XRD) microscopy at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) (Grenoble, France). Unique in-situ observations of austenite nucleation and growth kinetics were made for two commercial medium-carbon low-alloy steels (0.21 and...journal article 2010

Melikyan, A. (author), Olsder, G.J. (author)Boundary-value problems for first order PDEs are locally considered, when the classical sufficient condition for the solution existence does not hold, but a solution still exists, possibly defined on one or both sides of the boundary surface. We note three situations when such a surface (locally) arises: (1) the part of the boundary surface with...journal article 2010

Hindriks, K.V. (author), Tykhonov, D. (author), De Weerdt, M.M. (author)When there is one buyer interested in obtaining a service from one of a set of sellers, multi-attribute or multi-issue auctions can ensure an allocation that is efficient. Even when there is no transferable utility (e.g., money), a recent qualitative version of the Vickrey auction may be used, the QVA, to obtain a Pareto-efficient outcome where...journal article 2010

Mirzaee, H. (author), Ryan, J.K. (author), Kirby, R.M. (author)The discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method continues to maintain heightened levels of interest within the simulation community because of the discretization flexibility it provides. Although one of the fundamental properties of the DG methodology and arguably its most powerful property is the ability to combine high-order discretizations on an...journal article 2010

Kuipers, F.A. (author), Kooij, Robert (author), de Vleeschauwer, D (author), Brunnstrom, K (author)Quality of Experience (QoE) relates to how users perceive the quality of an application. To capture such a subjective measure, either by subjective tests or via objective tools, is an art on its own. Given the importance of measuring users¿ satisfaction to service providers, research on QoE took flight in recent years. In this paper we present...conference paper 2010

Meijers, B.M. (author), Van Oosterom, P.J.M. (author), Quak, C.W. (author)This paper deals with efficient data management of variable scale vector data. Instead of pre-building a collection of data sets on different scales, we create an index structure on the base data set (largest scale data) that enables us to extract a map at exactly the right scale the moment we need it. We present both the classic version of the...book chapter 2009

Wu, M. (author), De Weerdt, M.M. (author), La Poutré, H. (author)In this paper, we present an automated multi-agent multi-issue negotiation solution to solve a resource allocation problem. We use a multilateral negotiation model, by which three agents bid sequentially in consecutive rounds till some deadline. Two issues are bundled and negotiated concurrently, so win-win opportunities can be generated as...book chapter 2009
