Zhang, M. (author), Bouland, G.A. (author), Holstege, H. (author), Reinders, M.J.T. (author)Background and Objectives - With age, somatic mutations accumulated in human brain cells can lead to various neurologic disorders and brain tumors. Because the incidence rate of Alzheimer disease (AD) increases exponentially with age, investigating the association between AD and the accumulation of somatic mutation can help understand the...journal article 2023

Devia Pinzon, C.A. (author), Giordano, G. (author)We propose an agent-based opinion formation model characterised by a two-fold novelty. First, we realistically assume that each agent cannot measure the opinion of its neighbours about a given statement with infinite resolution and accuracy, and hence it can only perceive the opinion of others as agreeing much more, or more, or comparably, or...journal article 2023

Geleijnse, J. (author), Rutten, M.M. (author), de Villiers, D.J. (author), Bamwenda, James Tayebwa (author), Abraham, E. (author)Monitoring safe water access in developing countries relies primarily on household health survey and census data. These surveys are often incomplete: they tend to focus on the primary water source only, are spatially coarse, and usually happen every 5-10 years, during which significant changes can happen in urbanisation and infrastructure...journal article 2023

Hobeika, N. (author), van Rijssel, L.N. (author), Prusti, M.K. (author), Dinklo, C.J.T. (author), Giannelli, D. (author), Dukai, B. (author), Kok, Arnaud (author), van Loon, Rob (author), Nota, René (author), Stoter, J.E. (author)Noise simulations are an important part of noise studies that investigate the impact of noise sources on the environment. In noise simulation, noise levels at receiver points are calculated based on the noise propagation paths between the receiver and source points. These paths are derived from the height of the terrain. In current calculation...journal article 2023

Pols, C.F.J. (author), Dekkers, P.J.J.M. (author), de Vries, M.J. (author)This small-scale, qualitative study uses educational design research to explore how focusing on argumentation may contribute to students’ learning to engage in inquiry independently. Understanding inquiry as the construction of a scientifically cogent argument in support of a claim may encourage students to develop personal reasons for adhering...journal article 2023

Aleebrahimdehkordi, M. (author), Lechner, J.M. (author), Ghorbani, Amineh (author), Nikolic, I. (author), Chappin, E.J.L. (author), Herder, P.M. (author)Agent-based modelling and simulation (ABMS), whether simple toy models or complex data-driven ones, is regularly applied in various domains to study the system-level patterns arising from individual behaviour and interactions. However, ABMS still faces diverse challenges such as modelling more representative agents or improving computational...journal article 2023

Bal, Frans (author), Vleugel, J (author)Climate change is related with weather extremes, which may cause damages to infrastructure used by freight transport services. Heavy rainfall may lead to flooding and damage to railway lines, roads and inland waterways. Extreme drought may lead to extremely low water levels, which prevent safe navigation by inland barges. Wet and dry periods may...journal article 2023

Naghibi, M. (author), Ekhlassi, Ahmad (author), Faizi, Mohsen (author)Tectonic theory is an integrative philosophy that examined the relations formed between design, construction, and space while create or experience architecture. Various tectonic perspectives since 1852 considering ‘space’ as an important parameter in tectonic were reviewed. This study aimed at proposing a new definition of landscape tectonics...journal article 2023

de Boer, T.A.B. (author), de Winter, J.C.F. (author), Eisma, Y.B. (author)A spectrum of control methods in human–robot interaction was investigated, ranging from direct control to telepresence with a virtual representation of the robot arm. A total of 24 participants used a setup that included a Franka Emika Panda robot arm, Varjo XR-3 head-mounted display, and Leap Motion Controller. Participants performed a box...journal article 2023

Schifferstein, Hendrik N.J. (author), Lemke, M. (author), Vegt, N.J.H. (author)For health and environmental reasons, humanity should reduce the consumption of animal-based products, whereas vegetable consumption should be increased. We created stimuli (drawings with texts) that may be able to increase or decrease the purchasing of mushrooms, cheese, and meat. During the design process, we identified four aspect...journal article 2023

(author), Aarninkhof, S.G.J. (author)Muddy coasts provide ecological habitats, supply food and form a natural coastal defence. Relative sea level rise, changing wave energy and human interventions will increase the pressure on muddy coastal zones. For sustainable coastal management it is key to obtain information on the geomorphology of and historical changes along muddy areas....journal article 2023

(author), Wagemaker, M. (author)High-entropy alloys/compounds have large configurational entropy by introducing multiple components, showing improved functional properties that exceed those of conventional materials. However, how increasing entropy impacts the thermodynamic/kinetic properties in liquids that are ambiguous. Here we show this strategy in liquid electrolytes...journal article 2023

Nespeca, V. (author), Comes, M. (author), Brazier, F.M. (author)Qualitative research is a powerful means to capture human interactions and behavior. Although there are different methodologies to develop models based on qualitative research, a methodology is missing that enables to strike a balance between the comparability across cases provided by methodologies that rely on a common and context...journal article 2023

Cheishvili, K. (author), Kalkman, J.

(author)Numerical simulations of the tropical mesoscales often exhibit a self-reinforcing feedback between cumulus convection and shallow circulations, which leads to the self-aggregation of clouds into large clusters. We investigate whether this basic feedback can be adequately captured by large-eddy simulations (LESs). To do so, we simulate the non...journal article 2023

(author)Mechanical frequency combs are poised to bring the applications and utility of optical frequency combs into the mechanical domain. So far, their main challenge has been strict requirements on drive frequencies and power, which complicate operation. We demonstrate a straightforward mechanism to create a frequency comb consisting of mechanical...journal article 2023

Zou, L. (author), Ceria, A. (author), Wang, H. (author)Temporal networks are networks whose topology changes over time. Two nodes in a temporal network are connected at a discrete time step only if they have a contact/interaction at that time. The classic temporal network prediction problem aims to predict the temporal network one time step ahead based on the network observed in the past of a...journal article 2023

Bouland, G.A. (author), Mahfouz, A.M.E.T.A. (author), Reinders, M.J.T. (author)With the number of cells measured in single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) datasets increasing exponentially and concurrent increased sparsity due to more zero counts being measured for many genes, we demonstrate here that downstream analyses on binary-based gene expression give similar results as count-based analyses. Moreover, a binary...journal article 2023

(author)Background: Current eHealth interventions are poorly adopted by people with low health literacy (LHL) as they often fail to meet their needs, skills, and preferences. A major reason for this poor adoption is the generic, one-size-fits-all approach taken by designers of these interventions, without addressing the needs, skills, and preferences...journal article 2023
