With about 265,000 Belgian refugees staying in Britain at one time during the First World War, reflections on this transnational and cross-cultural story of welcome and accommodation at times of conflict merits continued attention. This chapter aims to provide an insight into several warfare-related features that characterised the human experience relating to the Belgians in Britain.A brief literature study confirms the issue of this history ...

© The Author(s) 2018. Despite rising adoption rates of mobile devices, few studies have investigated the effectiveness of parental mediation in addressing children’s mobile media use. The current study aimed to fill this gap by examining parental mediation styles in relation to problematic smartphone and tablet use among pre-and early adolescents. Moreover, in line with self-determination theory, we expected autonomy-supportive mediation to ...

© 2018 IEEE. A lot of small sensors are deployed in Internet of Things applications. Simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) is a solution to avoid a large amount of batteries, while exchanging information with the sensors. Combining both energy harvesting and information receiving in dual-purpose hardware lowers power consumption while also decreasing sensor size. Biased amplitude shift keying (ASK) is introduced as a ...

While the construction of metafrontiers based on the union of underlying group frontiers normally yields a non-convex metaset, a large majority in the literature seems to assume that a convexification strategy leads to a reasonable convex approximation of this non-convex metafrontier. However, Kerstens, O’Donnell, and Van de Woestyne (Kerstens, K., O’Donnell, C. and Van de Woestyne, I., 2019. Metatechnology frontier and convexity: A restatement. ...

Urban transportation contributes significantly to CO2 emissions. Public transport systems are a good strategy to reduce these, but the emissions generated by public transport vehicles should not be neglected during the design of the service. The Transit Network Design and Frequency Setting Problem (TNDFSP) has usually been addressed considering only the passengers’ and the operator’s point of view. However, we show it is worthwhile to consider ...
