Truong-Hong, Linh (author), Lindenbergh, R.C. (author), Vermeij, M. J. (author)Current mobile systems are capable of efficiently acquiring dense urban point clouds. Still, operational use of such data is hampered by the lack of efficient object extraction methodology. Notably methodology is lacking for automatically extracting objects that do not belong to the road furniture like street signs and light poles but do...journal article 2022

Pluijlaar, D. (author), van Biert, L. (author)This paper gives an overview of research that was carried out with the purpose of gaining insight whether renewable methanol, fuel cells and on-board carbon capture can be used to reduce the CO2 emissions of part of a fleet consisting of various (governmental) work ships, using methanol produced from waste biomass, excess wind energy and...journal article 2022

Truong-Hong, Linh (author), Lindenbergh, R.C. (author)Three-dimensional (3D) geometric bridge models play an important role in bridge inspection, assessment, and management. Laser scanning nowadays offers a cost-efficient method to capture dense, accurate 3D topographic data of surfaces of the bridge. However, given the typical complexity of bridges, current workflows using commercial software...journal article 2022

Peng, Q. (author), Vermolen, F.J. (author)We consider a mathematical model for skin contraction, which is based on solving a momentum balance under the assumptions of isotropy, homogeneity, Hooke's Law, infinitesimal strain theory and point forces exerted by cells. However, point forces, described by Dirac Delta distributions lead to a singular solution, which in many cases may cause...journal article 2022

Mokveld, T.O. (author), Al-Ars, Z. (author), Sistermans, Erik A. (author), Reinders, M.J.T. (author)In prenatal diagnostics, NIPT screening utilizing read coverage-based profiles obtained from shallow WGS data is routinely used to detect fetal CNVs. From this same data, fragment size distributions of fetal and maternal DNA fragments can be derived, which are known to be different, and often used to infer fetal fractions. We argue that the...journal article 2022

Blanch Jover, A. (author), De Franceschi, N. (author), Fenel, Daphna (author), Weissenhorn, Winfried (author), Dekker, C. (author)The Cdv proteins constitute the cell division system of the Crenarchaea, a machinery closely related to the ESCRT system of eukaryotes. Using a combination of TEM imaging and biochemical assays, we here present an in vitro study of Metallosphaera sedula CdvB1, the Cdv protein that is believed to play a major role in the constricting ring that...journal article 2022

(author), van Doorn, Remco (author)The first successful European hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) was performed in 1968 as treatment in a newborn with IL2RG deficiency using an HLA-identical sibling donor. Because of declining naive T and natural killer (NK) cells, and persistent human papilloma virus (HPV)-induced warts, the patient received a peripheral stem...journal article 2022

van Linden, N. (author), Spanjers, H. (author), van Lier, J.B. (author)Gaseous ammonia (NH3) recovered from residual waters may be used as a fuel in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) to generate electricity without emission of undesirable oxidised nitrogen species. NH3 can be directly recovered from water as a gas by vacuum membrane stripping (VMS), which also results in the evaporation of water (H2O), leading to the...journal article 2022

(author), ten Dijke, Peter (author)Epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) is crucial during embryonic development, tissue fibrosis, and cancer progression. Epithelial cells that display a cobblestone-like morphology can undergo a switch to mesenchymal-like phenotype, displaying an elongated spindle shape or a fibroblast-like morphology. EMT is characterized by timely and...book chapter 2022

(author)Transfusion of donor-derived red blood cells (RBCs) is the most common form of cell therapy. Production of transfusion-ready cultured RBCs (cRBCs) is a promising replacement for the current, fully donor-dependent therapy. A single transfusion unit, however, contains 2 × 10<sup>12</sup> RBC, which requires large scale production. Here, we...journal article 2022
