Mannak, Remco S. (author), Markus, Arjan (author), Meeus, Marius T.H. (author), Raab, Jörg (author), Smit, A.C. (author)In this study, we explore the relationship between inter-organizational network dynamics and innovation outcomes. We focus on node turnover and argue that both cluster and broker dynamics can range from low (stable) to high (volatile), resulting in differentiated outcomes. The data comprises 318 consortium members participating in 104 R&D...journal article 2023

(author)Objective Since the end of 2019, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) virus has infected millions of people, of whom a significant group suffers from sequelae from COVID-19, termed long COVID. As more and more patients emerge with long COVID who have symptoms of fatigue, myalgia and joint pain, we must examine potential biomarkers to find...journal article 2023

Culmone, C. (author), van Starkenburg, R.I.B. (author), Smit, G. (author), Breedveld, P. (author)In laparoscopy, a small incision size improves the surgical outcome but increases at the same time the rigidity of the instrument, with consequent impairment of the surgeon’s maneuverability. Such reduction introduces new challenges, such as the loss of wrist articulation or the impossibility of overcoming obstacles. A possible approach is using...journal article 2022
