Bin Mustafar, M.A. (author), Simons, W.J.F. (author), Tongkul, Felix (author), Satirapod, Chalermchon (author), Omar, Kamaludin Mohd (author), Visser, P.N.A.M. (author)The existence of intra-plate deformation of the Sundaland platelet along its eastern edge in North Borneo, South-East Asia, makes it an interesting area that still is relatively understudied. In addition, the motion of the coastal area of North-West Borneo is directed toward a frontal fold-and-thrust belt and has been fueling a long debate on...journal article 2017

Younes, S.H.H. (author), Ni, Y. (author), Schmidt, S. (author), Kroutil, Wolfgang (author), Hollmann, F. (author)Alcohol dehydrogenases are well-established catalysts for various reduction reactions. However, the reduction of carboxylic acid derivatives has not yet been reported with these enzymes. In this contribution, we demonstrated that carboxylic acid thioesters could be readily reduced by a range of alcohol dehydrogenases, albeit at significantly...journal article 2017

Shakeri, S.M. (author), van Vliet, L.J. (author), Stallinga, S. (author)We present an investigation of the impact of partial coherence on optical imaging systems with the focus on whole slide imaging (WSI) systems for digital pathology. The investigation is based on the analysis of the edge response of the optical system, which gives rise to an apparent optical transfer function (OTF) that can be linked to two...journal article 2017

Farahani, H. (author), Klees, R. (author), Slobbe, D.C. (author)We assess the surface gravity data requirements for a 5-mm quasi-geoid model for the Netherlands mainland and continental shelf in terms of omission and commission errors. The omission error critically depends on the roughness of the topography and bathymetry. For the Netherlands continental shelf, Central and Northern Netherlands, the...journal article 2017

Gebremicael, T.G. (author), Abbas Mohamedali, Y. (author), van der Zaag, P. (author), Hagos, Eyasu Y. (author)The Upper Tekezē-Atbara river sub-basin, part of the Nile Basin, is characterized by high temporal and spatial variability of rainfall and streamflow. In spite of its importance for sustainable water use and food security, the changing patterns of streamflow and its association with climate change is not well understood. This study aims to...journal article 2017

Parappurath, N. (author), Alpeggiani, F. (author), Kuipers, L. (author), Verhagen, Ewold (author)We observe that the asymmetric transmission (AT) through photonic systems with a resonant chiral response is strongly related to the far-field properties of eigenmodes of the system. This understanding can be used to predict the AT for any resonant system from its complex eigenmodes. We find that the resonant chiral phenomenon of AT is...journal article 2017

(author), Xia, Ting (author), Wang, Zhongjing (author)An accurate estimation of water resources dynamics is crucial for proper management of both agriculture and the local ecology, particularly in semi-arid regions. Imperfections in model physics, uncertainties in model land parameters and meteorological data, as well as the human impact on land changes often limit the accuracy of hydrological...journal article 2017

(author)Background: Microbial production of nitrogen containing compounds requires a high uptake flux and assimilation of the N-source (commonly ammonium), which is generally coupled with ATP consumption and negatively influences the product yield. In the industrial workhorse Saccharomyces cerevisiae, ammonium (NH<sub>4</sub> <sup>+</sup>) uptake is...journal article 2017

Raji, B. (author), Tenpierik, M.J. (author), van den Dobbelsteen, A.A.J.F. (author)Decisions made at early stages of the design are of the utmost importance for the energy-efficiency of buildings. Wrong decisions and design failures related to a building’s general layout, shape, façade transparency or orientation can increase the operational energy tremendously. These failures can be avoided in advance through simple changes...journal article 2017

R. (author)The potential of shale reservoirs for gas extraction is largely determined by the permeability of the rock. Typical pore diameters in shales range from the μm down to the nm scale. The permeability of shale reservoirs is a function of the interconnectivity between the pore space and the natural fracture network present. We have measured the...journal article 2017

Teixeira De Freitas, S. (author), Sinke, J. (author)The aim of this research is to analyse the failure of a Fiber Metal Laminate (FML) skin adhesively bonded to a Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) stiffener, under quasi-static loading at different environmental temperatures (−55 °C, Room Temperature RT and +100 °C) and under fatigue loading at RT. This bonded joint was tested using...journal article 2017

Kol, T.R. (author), Klehm, O. (author), Seidel, Hans-Peter (author), Eisemann, E. (author)Light scattering in participating media is a natural phenomenon that is increasingly featured in movies and games, as it is visually pleasing and lends realism to a scene. In art, it may further be used to express a certain mood or emphasize objects. Here, artists often rely on stylization when creating scattering effects, not only because of...journal article 2017

(author)We theoretically study the effects of strong magnetoelastic coupling on the transport properties of magnetic insulators. We develop a Boltzmann transport theory for the mixed magnon-phonon modes ("magnon polarons") and determine transport coefficients and the spin diffusion length. Magnon-polaron formation causes anomalous features in the...journal article 2017

ten Veldhuis, Marie-claire (author), Schleiss, M.A. (author)Urban catchments are typically characterised by a more flashy nature of the hydrological response compared to natural catchments. Predicting flow changes associated with urbanisation is not straightforward, as they are influenced by interactions between impervious cover, basin size, drainage connectivity and stormwater management...journal article 2017

Hageman, J. (author), Blaauboer, M. (author)We theoretically investigate the effect of transverse magnetic anisotropy on spin-flip assisted tunneling through atomic-spin chains. Using a phenomenological approach and first-order perturbation theory, we analytically calculate the inelastic tunneling current, differential conductance, and atomic-spin transition rates. We predict the...journal article 2017
