Meulendijks, Paul (author), van Haren, Neeltje E.M. (author), Gielen, M.A. (author), van Veelen-Vincent, Marie Lise C. (author)Introduction: Paediatric patients with disorders that involve brain functioning are particularly vulnerable with respect to including them in shared decision-making. Current tools are mostly paper or digital patient information. We lay the groundwork for improving engagement with a concept that we coined ‘the Self-Portrait’. The main goals...journal article 2022

Ma, Z. (author), Smeur, E.J.J. (author), de Croon, G.C.H.E. (author)Tailsitters have complex aerodynamics that make them hard to control throughout the entire flight envelope, especially at very high angle of attack (AoA) and reverse flow conditions. The development of controllers for these vehicles is hampered by the absence of publicly available data on forces and moments experienced in such conditions. In...journal article 2022

Cheishvili, K. (author), Kalkman, J. (author)We show scanning dynamic light scattering optical coherence tomography (OCT) omnidirectional flow measurements. Our method improves the velocity measurement limit over conventional correlation-based or phase-resolved Doppler OCT by more than a factor of 2. Our technique is applicable without a-priori knowledge of the flow geometry as our...journal article 2022

(author), Hijazi, Frederick (author), Beaudoin, Grégoire (author), Pantzas, Konstantinos (author), Sagnes, Isabelle (author), Braive, Rémy (author), Groeblacher, S. (author)Mechanical resonators can act as excellent intermediaries to interface single photons in the microwave and optical domains due to their high quality factors. Nevertheless, the optical pump required to overcome the large energy difference between the frequencies can add significant noise to the transduced signal. Here we exploit the remarkable...journal article 2022

Fritz, E.K. (author), Ferreira, Carlos (author), Boorsma, Koen (author)<br/><br/>This article proposes an efficient correction model that enables the extension of the blade element momentum method (BEM) for swept blades. Standard BEM algorithms, assuming a straight blade in the rotor plane, cannot account for the changes in the induction system introduced by blade sweep. The proposed extension corrects the axial...journal article 2022

(author)Distributing quantum entanglement on a chip is a crucial step toward realizing scalable quantum processors. Using traveling phonons-quantized guided mechanical wave packets-as a medium to transmit quantum states is now gaining substantial attention due to their small size and low propagation speed compared to other carriers, such as electrons...journal article 2022

(author)Motivation: Single-cell multi-omics assays simultaneously measure different molecular features from the same cell. A key question is how to benefit from the complementary data available and perform cross-modal clustering of cells. Results: We propose Single-Cell Multi-omics Clustering (scMoC), an approach to identify cell clusters from data...journal article 2022

Unperceived motor actions of the balance system interfere with the causal attribution of self-motionTisserand, Romain (author), Rasman, Brandon G. (author), Omerovic, Nina (author), Peters, Ryan M. (author), Forbes, P.A. (author), Blouin, Jean Sébastien (author)The instability of human bipedalism demands that the brain accurately senses balancing self-motion and determines whether movements originate from self-generated actions or external disturbances. Here, we challenge the longstanding notion that this process relies on a single representation of the body and world to accurately perceive postural...journal article 2022

Devia Pinzon, C.A. (author), Giordano, G. (author)Comparing model predictions with real data is crucial to improve and validate a model. For opinion formation models, validation based on real data is uncommon and difficult to obtain, also due to the lack of systematic approaches for a meaningful comparison. We introduce a framework to assess opinion formation models, which can be used to...journal article 2022
