Meijer, Simone (author), van Middendorp, Henriët (author), Peerdeman, Kaya J. (author), Evers, A.W.M. (author)Persistent physical symptoms have a high prevalence and a large impact for patients and society. To date, treatment effects for these symptoms are often limited. Nocebo effects (i.e., negative outcomes that are not attributable to active treatment components) have a substantial influence on treatment success and can be established via...journal article 2022

Koymans, M.R. (author), de Zeeuw-van Dalfsen, E. (author), Evers, L.G. (author), Poland, M. P. (author)Results from nine microgravity campaigns from Kı̄lauea, Hawaiʻi, spanning most of the volcano's 2008–2018 summit eruption, indicate persistent mass accumulation at shallow levels. A weighted least squares approach is used to recover microgravity results from a network of benchmarks around Kı̄lauea's summit, eliminate instrumental drift, and...journal article 2022

den Ouden, O.F.C. (author), Assink, Jelle D. (author), Smets, P.S.M. (author), Evers, L.G. (author)The ambient infrasonic noise field is complex due to the interference of spatially distributed infrasound sources. Microbaroms are one of the most dominant omnipresent infrasonic sources within this wavefield. These microbaroms are generated by nonlinear ocean surface wave interactions, and have a characteristic and continuous signature...journal article 2022

Cardol, Cinderella K. (author), Boslooper-Meulenbelt, Karin (author), van Middendorp, Henriët (author), Meuleman, Yvette (author), Evers, A.W.M. (author), van Dijk, Sandra (author)Background: Progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) may be delayed if patients engage in healthy lifestyle behaviors. However, lifestyle adherence is very difficult and may be influenced by problems in psychosocial functioning.

Walawalkar, Tanvi P. (author), Hermans, L.M. (author), Evers, Jaap (author)Most climate adaptation plans expect stakeholders to change their behavior as part of building resilience. Given its long-term and complex nature, monitoring and evaluation is a key requisite for climate adaptation planning. So far, behavioral aspects have received only limited attention in the evaluation approaches for climate adaptation...journal article 2022

Smets, P.S.M. (author), Weemstra, C. (author), Evers, L.G. (author)We report on the extraction of deep ocean travel time variations from time-lapse cross-correlations between a hydrophone station and a three-component broadband seismometer. The signals we cross-correlate in this study result from repeated activity by the Monowai seamount, one of the most active submarine volcanoes of the Tonga-Kermadec ridge...journal article 2022

(author)Colloidal nanoplatelets (NPLs) are promising materials for lasing applications. The properties are usually discussed in the framework of 2D materials, where strong excitonic effects dominate the optical properties near the band edge. At the same time, NPLs have finite lateral dimensions such that NPLs are not true extended 2D structures. Here...journal article 2022

Huber, S. (author), Sarajlic, Edin (author), Huijink, Roeland (author), Weis, Felix (author), Evers, W.H. (author), Jakobi, A. (author)Cryogenic electron microscopy has become an essential tool for structure determination of biological macromolecules. In practice, the difficulty to reliably prepare samples with uniform ice thickness still represents a barrier for routine high-resolution imaging and limits the current throughput of the technique. We show that a nanofluidic...journal article 2022

van der Kuil, M. N.A. (author), Visser-Meily, J. M.A. (author), Evers, A.W.M. (author), van der Ham, I. J.M. (author)The ability to travel independently is a vital part of an autonomous life. It is important to investigate to what degree people with acquired brain injuries (ABI) suffer from navigation impairments. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence and characteristics of objective and subjective navigation impairments in the population...journal article 2022

(author)Growing microtubule ends organize end-tracking proteins into comets of mixed composition. Here using a reconstituted fission yeast system consisting of end-binding protein Mal3, kinesin Tea2 and cargo Tip1, we found that these proteins can be driven into liquid-phase droplets both in solution and at microtubule ends under crowding conditions....journal article 2022

(author)Background: Lifestyle support is essential in preventing and treating cardiovascular diseases (CVD), and eHealth may be an easy and affordable solution to provide this support. However, CVD patients vary in their ability and interest to use eHealth. This study investigates demographic characteristics determining CVD patients' online and...journal article 2022

Weng, Lingling (author), Peerdeman, Kaya J. (author), Della Porta, Delia (author), van Laarhoven, Antoinette I.M. (author), Evers, A.W.M. (author)Pain and other somatosensory sensations, such as itch, can be effectively decreased by placebo effects and increased by nocebo effects. There are indications that placebo effects on pain generalize to other sensations and that nocebo effects generalize within itch modalities. However, it has not yet been investigated whether learned effects...journal article 2022

Weng, Lingling (author), van Laarhoven, Antoinette I.M. (author), Peerdeman, Kaya J. (author), Evers, A.W.M. (author)Nocebo effects, that is, negative treatment outcomes due to negative expectancies, can increase itch. Moreover, indirect evidence has shown that nocebo hyperknesis can generalize to another itch modality. Knowledge on response generalization can help to prevent and decrease negative effects. The aims of this study were to investigate (1) the...journal article 2022

Meeuwis, Stefanie H. (author), van Middendorp, Henriët (author), Veldhuijzen, Dieuwke S. (author), Evers, A.W.M. (author)Introduction: Placebo and nocebo effects are positive and negative health outcomes that can be elicited by the psychosocial context. They can be mediated by expectations, and may emerge in somatic symptoms even when people are aware of these effects. Interindividual differences (e.g., in personality, affective states) could impact placebo and...journal article 2021
