(author), Hollander, Daan A.M.J. (author), ten Dam, Marc A.G.J. (author)Background: Dialysis patients are confronted with numerous, complex problems, which make it difficult to identify individual patient's most prominent problems. The objectives of this study were to (1) identify dialysis patients' most prominent problems from a patient perspective and (2) to calculate disease-specific norms for questionnaires...journal article 2022

(author), Earl, Ashlee M. (author)Human-associated microbial communities comprise not only complex mixtures of bacterial species, but also mixtures of conspecific strains, the implications of which are mostly unknown since strain level dynamics are underexplored due to the difficulties of studying them. We introduce the Strain Genome Explorer (StrainGE) toolkit, which...journal article 2022

(author), Sebastiano, F. (author), Vandersypen, L.M.K. (author)One of the main bottlenecks in the pursuit of a large-scale-chip-based quantum computer is the large number of control signals needed to operate qubit systems. As system sizes scale up, the number of terminals required to connect to off-chip control electronics quickly becomes unmanageable. Here, we discuss a quantum-dot spin-qubit...journal article 2022

(author), Brück, E.H. (author)Large thermal hysteresis in the (Mn,Fe)2(P,Si) system hinders an efficient heat exchange and thus limits the magnetocaloric applications. Substitution of manganese by vanadium in the Mn1-x1Vx1Fe0.95P0.593Si0.33B0.077 and Mn1-x2Vx2Fe0.95P0.563Si0.36B0.077 compounds enable a significant reduction in the thermal hysteresis without losing the giant...journal article 2022

(author)The all-d-metal Ni-(Co)-Mn-Ti-based Heusler alloys are found to show a giant magnetocaloric effect near room temperature and are thereby potential materials for solid-state refrigeration. However, the relative large thermal hysteresis and the moderate ferromagnetic magnetization provides limitations for real applications. In the present study...journal article 2022
