Tinoco Rivas, M. (author), Maduro, L.A. (author), Masaki, Mukai (author), Okunishi, Eiji (author), Conesa Boj, S. (author)Edge structures are low-dimensional defects unavoidable in layered materials of the transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) family. Among the various types of such structures, the armchair (AC) and zigzag (ZZ) edge types are the most common. It has been predicted that the presence of intrinsic strain localized along these edges structures can...journal article 2017

Berghuis, B.A. (author), Raducanu, Vlad-Stefan (author), Elshenawy, Mohamed M. (author), Jergic, Slobodan (author), Depken, S.M. (author), Dixon, NE (author), Hamdan, Samir M. (author), Dekker, N.H. (author)Synchronizing the convergence of the two-oppositely moving DNA replication machineries at specific termination sites is a tightly coordinated process in bacteria. In Escherichia coli, a “replication fork trap” – found within a chromosomal region where forks are allowed to enter but not leave – is set by the protein–DNA roadblock Tus–Ter. The...journal article 2017

Fujimura, Atsushi G. (author), Reniers, A.J.H.M. (author), Paris, Claire B. (author), Shanks, Alan L. (author), MacMahan, Jamie H. (author), Morgan, Steven G. (author)Larvae of intertidal invertebrates need to cross the surf zone to settle in their adult habitat. Onshore transport of invertebrate larvae and detritus at a steep beach was simulated with a biophysical larval tracking model. Hydrodynamic model calculations were performed for 24 h after a 24 h spin-up stage with bathymetry and averaged wave...journal article 2017

Eeftens, J.M. (author)Every cell deals with the challenge of organising its DNA. First, the DNA needs to be compacted in size by several orders of magnitude. For example, in each human cell, 2 meters of DNA need to fit inside a micron-sized cell nucleus. Second, the DNA needs to stay accessible for cellular processes such as transcription and replication. To achieve...doctoral thesis 2017

Bogdanovic, S. (author)A quantumnetwork would allow the distribution of a quantum state over many spatially separated quantum nodes which individually possess the ability to generate, process and store quantum information. Connecting these nodes through quantum communication channels would enable sending quantum information over arbitrarily long distances, secret key...doctoral thesis 2017

Wang, Y. (author)Nitrogenoxides (NOx, including NO and NOx) are a group of hazardous, toxic and harmfulgasses, which have an adverse effect on both environment and human health,e.g., acid rain, photochemical smog, and affecting the human respiratorysystem. The NOx concentration in most of the EUcities exceeds the EU annual limit value (40 μg/m3). Around40% of...doctoral thesis 2017

Durrani, Z. A.K. (author), Jones, M. E. (author), Wang, C. (author), Scotuzzi, M. (author), Hagen, C.W. (author)Nanostructures of platinum-carbon nanocomposite material have been formed by electron-beam induced deposition. These consist of nanodots and nanowires with a minimum size ∼20 nm, integrated within ∼100 nm nanogap n-type silicon-on-insulator transistor structures. The nanodot transistors use ∼20 nm Pt/C nanodots, tunnel-coupled to Pt/C...journal article 2017

(author)Junctions created by coupling two superconductors via a semiconductor nanowire in the presence of high magnetic fields are the basis for the potential detection, fusion, and braiding of Majorana bound states. We study NbTiN/InSb nanowire/NbTiN Josephson junctions and find that the dependence of the critical current on the magnetic field...journal article 2017

Terakawa, Tsuyoshi (author), Bisht, Shveta (author), Eeftens, J.M. (author), Dekker, C. (author), Haering, Christian H. (author), Greene, Eric C. (author)Condensin plays crucial roles in chromosome organization and compaction, but the mechanistic basis for its functions remains obscure. We used single-molecule imaging to demonstrate that Saccharomyces cerevisiae condensin is a molecular motor capable of adenosine triphosphate hydrolysis–dependent translocation along double-stranded DNA....journal article 2017

Celis Gil, J.A. (author)Molecular devices are planned as alternative solutions for heat dissipation problems and reliable fabrication of nano-scale devices. However, it also opens up possibilities of combining many other degrees of freedom into functional device design. While they introduce interesting opportunities for study, they also demand a versatile, scalable...doctoral thesis 2017

Taale, Henk (author), Wilmink, Isabel (author), Beemster, Fieke (author)Met de opkomst van in-carsystemen kunnen er steeds meer functies van wegkantsystemen in de auto ebracht worden. Tenminste, dat is momenteel de verwachting en ook dat dus in de nabije toekomst eel wegkantsystemen gedeeltelijk of geheel overbodig worden. En dat is begrijpelijk, ook omdat er<br/>hoge kosten gemoeid zijn met wegkantsystemen. Daarom...conference paper 2017

Direct imaging has paved the way for atmospheric characterization of young and self-luminous gas giants. Scattering in a horizontally-inhomogeneous atmosphere causes the disk-integrated polarization of the thermal radiation to be linearly polarized, possibly detectable with the newest generation of high-contrast imaging instruments....journal article 2017

However, interactions between the individual, the childhood family and...working paper 2017

(author)The Marchenko method makes it possible to compute subsurface-to-surface Green's functions from reflection measurements at the surface. Applications of the Marchenko method have already been discussed in many papers, but its implementation aspects have not yet been discussed in detail. Solving the Marchenko equation is an inverse problem. The...journal article 2017

Arroyo Valles, M.D.R. (author), Simonetto, A. (author), Leus, G.J.T. (author)In wireless sensor networks, where energy is scarce, it is inefficient to have all nodes active because they consume a non-negligible amount of battery. In this paper we consider the problem of jointly selecting sensors, relays and links in a wireless sensor network where the active sensors need to communicate their measurements to one or...journal article 2017

(author)For a robust way of estimating time shifts near horizontal boreholes, we have developed a method for separating the reflection responses above and below a horizontal borehole. Together with the surface reflection data, the method uses the direct arrivals from borehole data in the Marchenko method. The first step is to retrieve the focusing...journal article 2017

Broere, W. (author), Festa, D. (author)Constructing tunnels in soft soil with the use of Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs) may induce settlements. A considerable amount of the total soil displacements is correlated with the passage of the TBM-shield. Even so, the TBM-induced soil displacements are so far only coarsely correlated to the total settlements. This paper relates the shield...journal article 2017
