Corbera Rubio, F. (author), Stouten, G.R. (author), Bruins, Jantinus (author), Dost, Simon F. (author), Merkel, Alexander Y. (author), Müller, S. (author), van Loosdrecht, Mark C.M. (author), van Halem, D. (author), Laureni, M. (author)Nitrate leaching from agricultural soils is increasingly found in groundwater, a primary source of drinking water worldwide. This nitrate influx can potentially stimulate the biological oxidation of iron in anoxic groundwater reservoirs. Nitrate-dependent iron-oxidizing (NDFO) bacteria have been extensively studied in laboratory settings, yet...journal article 2024

(author), Hindges, Robert (author), Meijer, D.H.M. (author)Neuronal network formation is facilitated by recognition between synaptic cell adhesion molecules at the cell surface. Alternative splicing of cell adhesion molecules provides additional specificity in forming neuronal connections. For the teneurin family of cell adhesion molecules, alternative splicing of the EGF-repeats and NHL domain...journal article 2024

Pan, J. (author), Ferreira, Carlos (author), van Zuijlen, A.H. (author)To investigate the effect of force distributions of each turbine component on the power performance of the Darrieus–Savonius combined vertical axis wind turbine (hybrid VAWT), the hybrid VAWT is modeled as idealized turbine under various force distributions. The goal of idealization is to simplify the intricate interactions between the...journal article 2024

Naghibi, M. (author), Farrokhi, Ashkan (author), Faizi, Mohsen (author)In metropolitan areas worldwide, abandoned properties are prevalent, prompting a need for small urban green spaces (SUGS) to meet the growing demand. Understanding residents’ preferences and perceptions of transformed spaces is vital for effective urban design. This study delves into residents’ preferences and perceptions regarding the...journal article 2024

Yu, C. (author), Van Zuijlen, Mitchell J.P. (author), Spoiala, C. (author), Pont, S.C. (author), Wijntjes, M.W.A. (author), Hurlbert, Anya (author)The spectral shape, irradiance, direction, and diffuseness of daylight vary regularly throughout the day. The variations in illumination and their effect on the light reflected from objects may in turn provide visual information as to the time of day. We suggest that artists' color choices for paintings of outdoor scenes might convey this...journal article 2024

Liu, J. (author), Borja, Pablo (author), Della Santina, C. (author)This work concerns the application of physics-informed neural networks to the modeling and control of complex robotic systems. Achieving this goal requires extending physics-informed neural networks to handle nonconservative effects. These learned models are proposed to combine with model-based controllers originally developed with first...journal article 2024

de Winter, J.C.F. (author), Dodou, D. (author), Eisma, Y.B. (author)Within a year of its launch, ChatGPT has seen a surge in popularity. While many are drawn to its effectiveness and user-friendly interface, ChatGPT also introduces moral concerns, such as the temptation to present generated text as one’s own. This led us to theorize that personality traits such as Machiavellianism and sensation-seeking may be...journal article 2024

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

(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

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

(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

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), Zadpoor, A.A. (author)Individual cells and multicellular systems respond to cell-scale curvatures in their environments, guiding migration, orientation, and tissue formation. However, it remains largely unclear how cells collectively explore and pattern complex landscapes with curvature gradients across the Euclidean and non-Euclidean spectra. Here, we show that...journal article 2023
