(author)Genome-wide association analyses using high-throughput metabolomics platforms have led to novel insights into the biology of human metabolism1–7. This detailed knowledge of the genetic determinants of systemic metabolism has been pivotal for uncovering how genetic pathways influence biological mechanisms and complex diseases8–11. Here we present...journal article 2024

van der Kruk, E. (author), Geijtenbeek, T. (author)The ‘Timed Up and Go’ test (TUG) is a widely used clinical tool for assessing gait and balance, relying primarily on timing as a measure. However, there are more observable biomechanical compensation strategies within TUG that are indicative of underlying neuromuscular issues and movement priorities. In individuals with unilateral knee...journal article 2024

Aguiar Ferreira, Manuel (author), Costa, P. (author), Ganapathisubramani, B. (author)The floating-element (FE) principle, introduced nearly a century ago, remains one of the most versatile direct wall shear stress measurement methods. Yet, its intrinsic sources of systematic error, associated with the flow-exposed gap, off-axis load sensitivity, and calibration, have thus far limited its widespread application. In combination...journal article 2024

(author), GG Dobbe, Johannes (author), Maas, Mario (author), Harlaar, J. (author), van der Krogt, Marjolein M. (author)Segment coordinate systems (CSs) of marker-based multi-segment foot models are used to measure foot kinematics, however their relationship to the underlying bony anatomy is barely studied. The aim of this study was to compare marker-based CSs (MCSs) with bone morphology-based CSs (BCSs) for the hindfoot and forefoot. Markers were placed on...journal article 2024

Wu, F. (author), Pfenninger, Stefan (author), Muller, Adrian (author)Bioenergy from energy crops is a source of negative emissions and carbon-neutral fuels in many 1.5/2 ∘C IPCC pathways. This may compete with other land uses. In contrast, ancillary biomass like by-products and waste is not primarily grown for energy and thus without land/food/feed competition. Here, we examine the availability and environmental...journal article 2024

Dehghan Marvasti, F. (author), Mirzaei, Ahmad (author), Savaghebi, Mehdi (author), Lekić, A. (author), Popov, M. (author)Fast, sensitive, and selective protection principles are one of the major challenges in the feasibility of modular multi-terminal (MMC) high voltage direct current (HVDC) grids. Rate of change of voltage (ROCOV) and transient-based solutions are the traditional and widely accepted protection principles. Despite the speed and practicality of...journal article 2024

Kroep, H.J.C. (author), Gokhale, V. (author), Verburg, Joseph (author), Venkatesha Prasad, Ranga Rao (author)The next frontier in communications is teleoperation - manipulation and control of remote environments with haptic feedback. Compared to conventional networked applications, teleoperation poses widely different requirements, ultra-low latency (ULL) is primary. Realizing ULL communication demands significant redesign of conventional networking...journal article 2024

Meenakshi Sundaram, A. (author), Goncalves, J. E. (author), Ghorbani, Amineh (author), Verma, T. (author)Governments often use price-based policies such as tax-subsidies and rebates to encourage households to shift to renewable energy sources like rooftop solar photovoltaics (PV). These policies, however, have primarily benefited high-income homeowners, leaving others behind. This paper proposes leveraging social networks’ influence on attitudes...journal article 2024

Leciñana, I. (author), Renart, J. (author), Carreras, L. (author), Turon, A. (author), Zurbitu, J. (author), Tijs, B.H.A.H. (author)The main objective of this paper is to present a delamination benchmark test concept for composite materials that develop non-self-similar delamination in characterization specimens. The non-self-similar delamination is induced by rotating the loading blocks. The simplicity of the test allows for analyzing the loading mode history by...journal article 2024

El Mellas, I. (author), Samkhaniani, N. (author), Falsetti, C. (author), Stroh, A. (author), Icardi, M. (author), Magnini, M. (author)Micro-pin-fin evaporators are a promising alternative to multi-microchannel heat sinks for two-phase cooling of high power-density devices. Within pin-fin evaporators, the refrigerant flows through arrays of obstacles in cross-flow and is not restricted by the walls of a channel. The dynamics of bubbles generated upon flow boiling and the...journal article 2024

(author), Wang, Ji Yin (author)We study the current-phase relation (CPR) of an InSb-Al nanowire Josephson junction in parallel magnetic fields up to 700 mT. At high magnetic fields and in narrow voltage intervals of a gate under the junction, the CPR exhibits π shifts. The supercurrent declines within these gate intervals and shows asymmetric gate voltage dependence above...journal article 2024

Okur, Ö. (author), Fiori, Francesco (author), Fouladvand, Javanshir (author)Renewable heating systems (RHS), such as solar thermal, geothermal, heat pumps, wood pellets, biomass, are essential to reduce dependence on fossil fuel-based heating systems and resulting CO<sub>2</sub> emissions. Despite their benefits in terms of CO<sub>2</sub> emissions, the widespread adoption of RHS has yet to be achieved. This paper...journal article 2024
