Performance Evaluation of AiDx assist in the diagnosis of Lymphatic Filariasis (LF) in field settings: A field study conducted by the INSPiRED NWO Project - Dec.2021

Intra aquifer variations in pesticide sorption during a field injection experiment

A field injection experiment was performed in an anoxic sandy aquifer over 6 days to assess sorption characteristics of 7 commonly applied pesticides in agriculture and 2 frequently detected metabolites. Pesticide use changed considerably in the last decades, and there is insufficient knowledge of the fate of currently used pesticides in...

From the lab to the OB truck: Object-based broadcasting at the FA Cup in Wembley Stadium

While traditional live-broadcasting is typically comprised of a handful of well-defined workflows, these become insufficient when targeting multiple screens and interactive companion devices on the viewer side. In this case study, we describe the development of an end-to-end system enabling immersive and interactive experiences using an...

Crystal-Field and Covalency Effects in Uranates: An X-ray Spectroscopic Study

The electronic structure of U^V- and U^VI-containing uranates NaUO₃and Pb₃UO₆was studied by using an advanced technique, namely X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) in high-energy-resolution fluorescence-detection (HERFD) mode. Due to a significant reduction in core–hole lifetime broadening,...

When, how, and why developers (do not) test in their IDEs

The research community in Software Engineering and Software Testing in particular builds many of its contributions on a set of mutually shared expectations. Despite the fact that they form the basis of many publications as well as open-source and commercial testing applications, these common expectations and beliefs are rarely ever questioned...

Preliminary results from a field experiment on e-bike safety: Speed choice and mental workload for middle-aged and elderly cyclists

To study the safety of e-bikes for the elderly, an experimental field study was conducted, using instrumented bicycles and comparing two age groups: older cyclists, n= 29, mean age = 70, SD = 4.2 and middle-aged cyclists, n = 29, mean age = 38, SD = 4.3. All were regular cyclists. They rode a fixed route with a length of about 3.5 km: once on an...

Motivation to self-report: Capturing user experiences in field studies

The Role of Technology in Distributed Team Coordination: A multi-method investigation of a technology change process in the field

The goal of this project was two-fold: firstly, to add to the theoretical knowledge about the impact of complex media combinations for distributed team coordination, and secondly, to increase the practical knowledge for organizations and designers on how to design and implement complex technological solutions for the support of distributed teams...

Aeolian transport on beach based on field measurement on the Dutch coast

During the winter 2009, beach and dune nourishments have been executed at Vlugtenburg (Holland coast) in order to reinforce the coastal defense. Natural processes such as wind and waves are expected to take care of effective and efficient redistribution of the sand throughout the system. The present study is part of the sub-project Monitoring...

Particle Tracking in a Shallow Mixing Layer: A Fluid Dynamics Laboratory in the Field

At locations where two natural streams of different velocity come together, a mixing layer develops. In this free shear flow, the velocity difference between the two streams is gradually reduced through the exchange of lateral momentum. This involves different forms of turbulent phenomena. If the width of the flow domain is large compared to the...

Fit for washing; Human factors and ergonomic evaluations of washing machines

People do the laundry all over the world. About 500 million washing machines are in use at the moment. To reduce the heavy workload, washing machines were invented about 100 years ago. 50 years of innovations led to a reduction in water, energy and detergent consumption and the interface became easier to use. However, the overall usage of the...

A theoretical and experimental approach to the geophone-ground coupling problem based on acoustic reciprocity
