(author), Earl, Ashlee M. (author)Background: While the international spread of multidrug-resistant (MDR) Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains is an acknowledged public health threat, a broad and more comprehensive examination of the global spread of MDR-tuberculosis (TB) using whole-genome sequencing has not yet been performed. Methods: In a global dataset of 5310 M....journal article 2019

Cohen, Keira A. (author), Manson, Abigail L. (author), Desjardins, Christopher A. (author), Abeel, T.E.P.M.F. (author), Earl, Ashlee M. (author)Tuberculosis (TB) is a global infectious threat that is intensified by an increasing incidence of highly drug-resistant disease. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) studies of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of TB, have greatly increased our understanding of this pathogen. Since the first M. tuberculosis genome was published in 1998...review 2019

(author), van der Wegen, M. (author)Rising sea levels due to climate change can have severe consequences for coastal populations and ecosystems all around the world. Understanding and projecting sea-level rise is especially important for low-lying countries such as the Netherlands. It is of specific interest for vulnerable ecological and morphodynamic regions, such as the...journal article 2018

Cohen, M.A. (author), Yuan, M. (author), de Jong, B.W.A. (author), Beukers, Ewout (author), Bosman, S.J. (author), Steele, G.A. (author)We report on a technique for applying a DC bias in a 3D microwave cavity. We achieve this by isolating the two halves of the cavity with a dielectric and directly using them as DC electrodes. As a proof of concept, we embed a variable capacitance diode in the cavity and tune the resonant frequency with a DC voltage, demonstrating the...journal article 2017

(author)Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB), caused by drug-resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is an increasingly serious problem worldwide. Here we examined a data set of whole-genome sequences from 5,310 M. tuberculosis isolates from five continents. Despite the great diversity of these isolates with respect to geographical...journal article 2017

Effects of different real-time feedback types on human performance in high-demanding work conditionsCohen, I. (author), Brinkman, W.P. (author), Neerincx, M.A. (author)Experiencing stress during training is a way to prepare professionals for real-life crises. With the help of feedback tools, professionals can train to recognize and overcome negative effects of stress on task performances. This paper reports two studies that empirically examined the effect of such a feedback system. The system, based on the...journal article 2016

Yuan, M. (author), Cohen, M.A. (author), Steele, G.A. (author)We study the mechanical dissipation of the fundamental mode of millimeter-sized, high quality-factor (Q) metalized silicon nitride membranes at temperatures down to 14?mK using a three-dimensional optomechanical cavity. Below 200?mK, high-Q modes of the membranes show a diverging increase of Q with decreasing temperature, reaching Q=1.27×108Q=1...journal article 2015

Cohen, I. (author)Professionals working in different domains often experience stressful conditions evoked by disasters or crisis scenarios. Regardless of these conditions, they have to perform at high standards in order to preserve safety for themselves, avoid any casualties, and to resolve the overall situation. Stress, however, negatively affects cognitive...doctoral thesis 2015

We study experimentally stably stratified sheared turbulence and large-scale flows and waves in a lid driven cavity with a non-zero vertical mean temperature gradient. Geometrical properties of the large-scale vortex (e.g., its size and form) and the level of small-scale turbulence inside the vortex are controlled by the buoyancy (i.e., by the...conference paper 2015

Cohen, I. (author), Brinkman, W.P. (author), Neerincx, M.A. (author)Professionals working in risky or emergency situations have to make very accurate decisions, while the quality of the decisions might be affected by the stress that these situations bring about. Integrating task feedback and biofeedback into computer-based training environments could improve trainees’ stress-coping behaviour. This paper presents...journal article 2015

Ionospheric calibration of low frequency radio interferometric observations using the peeling schemeIntema, H.T. (author), Van der Tol, S. (author), Cotton, W.D. (author), Cohen, A.S. (author), Van Bemmel, I.M. (author), Röttgering, H.J.A. (author)Calibration of radio interferometric observations becomes increasingly difficult towards lower frequencies. Below ?300 MHz, spatially variant refractions and propagation delays of radio waves traveling through the ionosphere cause phase rotations that can vary significantly with time, viewing direction and antenna location. In this article we...journal article 2009
