The inherent instability of environmental parameters governing indoor air quality on board ships and the use of temporal trends to identify pollution sources University of Antwerp
Indoor air quality on board a 36-year-old ship has been characterized at several locations. The ship is dedicated to nearshore operations at the Belgian coast. This paper presents time-averaged and continuous-time measurements of several indoor pollutant concentrations such as NO2, O-3, NO, CO, total volatile organic compounds (TVOC), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), particulate matter PM2.5 and PM10, black carbon, and individual organic ...
Preconceptional, pregnant, and postnatal exposure to outdoor air pollution and indoor environmental factors: Effects on childhood parasitic infections KU Leuven
Background Parasitic infections (PIs) are common and pose substantial health hazards in children globally, but the fundamental environmental variables exposure during crucial time window(s) are unclear. Objectives To identify key indoor and outdoor environmental factors leading to childhood PIs throughout critical time window(s). Methods A combined cross-sectional and retrospective cohort study was performed on 8689 children residing in ...
Composition of PM2.5 and PM1 on high and low pollution event days and its relation to indoor air quality in a home for the elderly University of Antwerp
Many studies probing the link between air quality and health have pointed towards associations between particulate matter (PM) exposure and decreased lung function, aggravation of respiratory diseases like asthma, premature death and increased hospitalisation admissions for the elderly and individuals with cardiopulmonary diseases. Of recent, it is believed that the chemical composition and physical properties of PM may contribute significantly ...
Effect of household energy use on residential indoor air pollution in Southeast Nigeria Ghent University
Measurement-based wireless network planning, monitoring, and reconfiguration solution for robust radio communications in indoor factories Ghent University
Nowadays, the harsh industrial environment remains one of the vital challenges for an effective deployment of wireless technologies in factories to promote the industrial upgrade. In this study, a complete solution is proposed for robust radio communications in indoor factories. Herein, measurement setups are integrated with industrial mobile facilities, e.g. an automated guided vehicle and a mobile robot. Calibration is advised for accurately ...
WiFi ad-hoc mesh network and MAC protocol solution for UWB indoor localization systems Ghent University
A hybrid indoor localization solution using a generic architectural framework for sparse distributed wireless sensor networks Ghent University
Indoor localization and navigation using wireless sensor networks is still a big challenge if expensive sensor nodes are not involved. Previous research has shown that in a sparse distributed sensor network the error distance is way too high. Even room accuracy can not be guaranteed. In this paper, an easy-to-use generic positioning framework is proposed, which allows users to plug in a single or multiple positioning algorithms. We illustrate ...
