Pre-hospital risk stratification in suspected Non ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome
No full textThis dissertation focuses on pre-hospital stratification by ambulance workers in case of suspicion of a heart attack. The aims of this dissertation are to investigate how low-risk patients can be accurately identified, to determine the current use of health care in these patients, and to evaluate whether patients with a high-risk of angioplasty or heart surgery can be detected earlier. This pre-hospital stratification appears to help avoid unnecessary transportation to the hospital of low-risk patients and to limit the use of medical care in this group. In addition, high-risk patients can possibly better be transported directly to an intervention hospital instead of a peripheral hospital. With this study, the researchers hope to be able to help patients with chest pain better and faster
Prediction of a tail downwash, ground effect and minimum unstick speed of jet transport aircraft
No full textA design tool has been developed to estimate the horizontal tail size of a jet transport aircraft during the preliminary design phase with regard to the minimum unstick requirement. The ground effect has been modelled analytically using lifting line theory. The minimum unstick manoeuvre has been simulated numerically and is embedded in the automated design tool. That tool is validated extensively against experimental data and appears to be sufficiently accurate. In addition, it improves the prediction of the take-off field length.Aerospace Engineerin
Device-to-Device Communications Underlaying a Cellular Network
No full textMobile voice service is already considered a necessity by many, and mobile data, video, and TV services are now becoming an essential part of consumers' lives. The number of mobile subscribers is growing rapidly and bandwidth demand due to data and video services is increasing. There is a need for capacity to increase in order for mobile broadband, data access, and video services to engage the end consumer. Device-to-device (D2D) communications underlaying cellular networks entails the ability of a cellular network to allow devices to communicate directly with each other in the operating (licensed) spectrum of the cellular network. With the application of specific rules and strategies, D2D communications offloads the mobile network and increases the spectral efficiency. In this thesis we developed a method for the application of D2D communication, controlled by a cellular network. By deriving the theoretical upper bound on the interference we have analytically derived equations describing the minimum distances to be maintained between simultaneously operating links, to achieve a given minimum SINR. We devised a strategy to group and schedule links which fulfill these minimum requirements, so that multiple links may operate simultaneously. We describe a power optimization method to minimize the number of groups to further improve the efficiency of the occupation of resources. Finally we performed simulations for various D2D scenarios, including a scenario representing a realistic urban environment, to illustrate the potential of this grouping and scheduling strategy.Wireless and Mobile CommunicationsElectrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc
Disposable, stretchable on-skin sensors for posture monitoring
No full textWe developed disposable and stretchable on-skin sensors for simple and unobtrusive monitoring of posture and movements during daily activities. Simple sensor platforms like these are expected to become commonly accepted in the near future, not only for posture monitoring but also for e.g. motion monitoring in sports. The paper describes the development and preliminary testing of the sensor platform.Accepted author manuscriptEmerging MaterialsTechnical Suppor
D-Lexis: Alphabet Mobile Learning Application for dyslexia for dyslexia Based on Slingerland Methods of Learning
No full textThis dessertation reports on the development of D-Lexis, a mobile application with android platform to help dyslexic students in alphabetical learning based on Slingerland methods of learning. Dyslexia is a medical condition that hinders reading, language and spelling skills of a student which affects their learning performance and makes dyslexic students hate conventional classroom methods. Therefore, learning modules for dyslexia learning must be in sequence, structured and applies multisensory approach with focus in alphabet learning as fundamental of literacy to overcome problems of phonological processing that leads to offences in reading, writing, memory retention and spelling. This project focus at overcoming 3 offenses such as reversal and inversion of letters while writing, short memory retention and 'dancing letters' conditions as well as confusion of letters while reading through 5 modules-recognizing capital and lowercase letters, tracing capital and lowercase letters and exercise. The development of the system is based on rapid prototype methodology which is flexible for author to ensure the application meeting user's requirements. An interview with the dyslexia practitioners, 3 observations through videos, 5 qualitative surveys and 3 revisions on design of the systems are conducted to ensure the application is meeting requirements and needs of a dyslexic. The application is developed in 2 phase with 3 amendments on designs and 2 amendments on the development process which results in 5 interactive modules aims on enhancing writing and recognition of letters according to dyslexic needs and requirements. The proposed system is not only suitable for dyslexic but also can be used as a pre-literacy learning application for pre-schools students or primary students

Together we make places: Designing connections in urban space
No full textPlace-making initiatives have gained momentum in recent years to establish stronger urban communities. Through place-making, people attach meaning to spaces and they become places. While place-making initiatives have traditionally been designed and implemented from top-down, more and more scholars call for a participatory and bottom-up approach, for place-making to realise its full potential in creating strong neighbourhood communities. In this context, the thesis explored how the knowledge from Participatory Design and place-making may confluence to move from spaces to places in a more inclusive and community-driven way. The main research question was: How can Participatory Design facilitate place-making in urban settings across physical space, social connections, and institutional support? This thesis presents a framework for participatory place-making, build from place-making and Participatory Design literature and evaluated using six participatory place-making interventions that were designed, implemented, and evaluated in neighbourhoods in The Hague, Rotterdam, and Cork (Ireland). The framework contains five principles (emergent, empowering, inclusive, playful, reflective) that should guide the design of participatory place-making interventions and is complemented with five guidelines to design for participatory place-making.System Engineerin
