Kok, R.N. (author), Hebert, Laetitia (author), Huelsz-Prince, Guizela (author), Goos, Yvonne J. (author), Zheng, X.Z. (author), Bozek, Katarzyna (author), Stephens, Greg J. (author), Tans, S.J. (author), Van Zon, Jeroen S. (author)Time-lapse microscopy is routinely used to follow cells within organoids, allowing direct study of division and differentiation patterns. There is an increasing interest in cell tracking in organoids, which makes it possible to study their growth and homeostasis at the singlecell level. As tracking these cells by hand is prohibitively time...journal article 2020

Kok, M.W.A. (author)The microtubule cytoskeleton is an intracellular polymer network involved in cell shape, cell motility, and cell division. Microtubules are self-assembling, dynamic polymers composed of tubulin proteins that alternate between phases of growth and shrinkage, a behaviour known as “dynamic instability”. A key feature of microtubules is their...doctoral thesis 2019

(author), Haans, L.C.F. (author), Kapiteijn, K. (author), Jansen, F.W. (author)Objective: To evaluate if immediate catheter removal (ICR) after laparoscopic hysterectomy is associated with similar retention outcomes compared with delayed removal (DCR). Study design: Non-inferiority randomised controlled trial. Population: Women undergoing laparoscopic hysterectomy in six hospitals in the Netherlands. Methods: Women were...journal article 2019

Solin, Arno (author), Kok, M. (author)Gaussian processes (GPs) provide a powerful framework for extrapolation, interpolation, and noise removal in regression and classification. This paper considers constraining GPs to arbitrarily-shaped domains with boundary conditions. We solve a Fourier-like generalised harmonic feature representation of the GP prior in the domain of interest,...conference paper 2019

J.C.M. (author), Kuhlmann, K. F.D. (author), Ruers, T. J.M. (author)Background: In colorectal cancer surgery there is a delicate balance between complete removal of the tumor and sparing as much healthy tissue as possible. Especially in rectal cancer, intraoperative tissue recognition could be of great benefit in preventing positive resection margins and sparing as much healthy tissue as possible. To better...journal article 2019

van der Krogt, M.G. (author), Schweckendiek, T. (author), Kok, M. (author)One of the failure mechanisms of dikes is slope instability at the landward side. Often, one instability does not lead to flooding, and several successive instabilities are needed before the dike overtops, and erosion and breaching can occur, especially at lower water levels. In this paper we propose a method to estimate the probability of...conference paper 2019

Nowka, Danny (author), Kok, M. (author), Seel, Thomas (author)In inertial motion tracking of kinematic chains, inertial measurement units (IMUs) are attached to each segment in order to track their motion in three-dimensional space. Determining the relations between the functional axes of a joint and the local coordinate system of the attached sensor is a crucial requirement. For the case of hinge...conference paper 2019

Girrbach, Fabian (author), Zandbergen, Raymond (author), Kok, M. (author), Hageman, Tijmen (author), Bellusci, Giovanni (author), DIehl, Moritz (author)Inertial sensors are used in an increasing number of autonomous applications. Integrating such sensors into dynamic systems, the problem of their calibration arises naturally. Existing methods often require the sensor to be accurately placed in certain poses, which can be infeasible in practice. In this paper, we present an optimization-based...conference paper 2019

Lorenz, Michael (author), Taetz, Bertram (author), Kok, M. (author), Bleser, Gabriele (author)This paper presents a study of the behavior of seven different attitude representations in a batchwise orientation smoothing problem. The representations include the well-known unit quaternions and rotation vectors(/axis-angle), as well as modified Rodrigues parameters (MRPs). We consider error states as well as direct orientation formulations...conference paper 2019

Vittorietti, M. (author), Kok, Piet J.J. (author), Sietsma, J. (author), Jongbloed, G. (author)Understanding the intricate and complex materials microstructure and how it is related to materials properties is an important problem in the Materials Science field. For a full comprehension of this relation, it is fundamental to be able to describe the main characteristics of the 3-dimensional microstructure. The most basic model used for...journal article 2019

Marijnissen, R.J.C. (author), Kok, M. (author), Kroeze, Carolien (author), van Loon-Steensma, J.M. (author)It is not uncommon for a flood defence to be combined with other societal uses as a multifunctional flood defence, from housing in urban areas to nature conservation in rural areas. The assessment of the safety of multifunctional flood defences is often done using conservative estimates. This study synthesizes new probabilistic approaches to...journal article 2019

Curran, A.N. (author), de Bruijn, Karin M. (author), Klerk, W.J. (author), Kok, M. (author)To make informed flood risk management (FRM) decisions in large protected river systems, flood risk and hazard analyses should include the potential for dike breaching. 'Load interdependency' analyses attempt to include the system-wide effects of dike breaching while accounting for the uncertainty of both river loads and dike fragility. The...journal article 2019

Kok, M. (author), van de Riet, O. (author), Walker, W.E. (author)Here we examine whether a study conducted 25 years ago (1992) would have had different conclusions if concepts and analytical methods developed since then had been used. The 1992 problem was to identify a strategy for reducing flood risk in the Netherlands by, for example, strengthening the river dikes against the risk of flooding. Since then,...journal article 2019

Yunika, A. (author), Kok, M. (author), de Gijt, J.G. (author), Huizinga, J. (author), Ginting, S. (author)Digital Elevation Model (DEM) is an important component in flood inundation modelling as a part of flood risk analysis. However, Digital Surface Model (DSM) which still contains noises of artefacts is more common to be available than DEM. Then DSM misleads the inundation extent. This study will evaluate a measure to obtain a bare-earth...journal article 2019

(author)Objective: Surgical microfracture is considered a first-line treatment for talar osteochondral defects. However, current rigid awls and drills limit access to all locations in human joints and increase risk of heat necrosis of bone. Using a flexible water jet instrument to drill holes can improve the reachability of the defect without...journal article 2019

Kok, M. (author), Schön, Thomas B. (author)We present a novel algorithm for online, real-time orientation estimation. Our algorithm integrates gyroscope data and corrects the resulting orientation estimate for integration drift using accelerometer and magnetometer data. This correction is computed, at each time instance, using a single gradient descent step with fixed step length. This...journal article 2019

Klerk, W.J. (author), Schweckendiek, T. (author), den Heijer, Frank (author), Kok, M. (author)One of the most rapidly emerging measures in infrastructure asset management is Structural Health Monitoring (SHM), which aims at reducing uncertainty in structural performance by using monitoring equipment. As earthen flood defence structures typically have large strength uncertainties, such techniques can be particularly promising. However,...journal article 2019

Lendering, K.T. (author), Sebastian, Antonia (author), Jonkman, Sebastiaan N. (author), Kok, M. (author)The application of risk-based approaches for the design of flood infrastructure has become increasingly common in flood management. This approach, based on risk reduction and reliability, is used to assess the performance of conventional interventions (e.g., flood defences and dams) and to support decisions regarding their implementation....journal article 2018
