de Jong, J.J. (author), van Dijk, J. (author), Herder, J.L. (author)Fast-moving industrial robots exert large varying reaction forces and moments on their base frame, inducing vibrations, wear and accuracy degeneration. These shaking forces and moments can be eliminated by a specific design of the mass distribution of the robot links, resulting in a dynamically balanced mechanism. Obtaining the conditions for...journal article 2019

Bonci, M. (author), de Jong, Pepijn (author), van Walree, Frans (author), Renilson, Martin (author), Keuning, J.A. (author), van 't Veer, A.P. (author)The coupling between heel and the loads in the horizontal plane is usually neglected in manoeuvrability studies. However, the heel–sway and heel–yaw coupling can play an important role in potentially unsafe conditions, such as in a following sea. In these conditions, small fast vessels experience dynamic instabilities which threaten their...journal article 2020

Poomsawat, W. (author), Tsalidis, G.A. (author), Tsekos, C. (author), de Jong, W. (author)Furfural is a very promising product of lignocellulosic biomass-based biorefineries and has the potential to become a useful resource for further conversion and utilization. Aquatic plants show an enormous potential as feedstock since they do not compete for land use, and they require minimal water consumption in a biorefinery concept due to...journal article 2019

Mozaffarzadeh, M. (author), Varnosfaderani, Mehdi H.H. (author), Sharma, Arunima (author), Pramanik, Manojit (author), de Jong, N. (author), Verweij, M.D. (author)In acoustic-resolution photoacoustic microscopy (AR-PAM) systems, the lateral resolution in the focal zone of the ultrasound (US) transducer is determined by the numerical aperture (NA) of the transducer. To have a high lateral resolution, a large NA is used. However, the larger the NA, the smaller the depth of focus [DOF]. As a result, the...journal article 2019

(author), van der Steen, A.F.W. (author)The carotid artery (CA) is central to cardiovascular research, because of the clinical relevance of CA plaques as culprits of stroke and the accessibility of the CA for cardiovascular screening. The viscoelastic state of this artery, essential for clinical evaluation, can be assessed by observing arterial deformation in response to the...journal article 2014

de Jong, T. P. (author), Borst, C. (author)Air traffic control (ATC) is a complex and demanding job reserved for highly-trained professionals. Training ATC candidates is challenging as trainees are subjectively assessed by instructors who are biased by their own ways of working. As an effort to determine control expertise objectively, this study employed clustering techniques on an...journal article 2022

(author), Kayser, Manfred (author), Böhringer, Stefan (author)Landmarking of 3D facial surface scans is an important analysis step in medical and biological applications, such as genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Manual landmarking is often employed with considerable cost and rater dependent variability. Landmarking automatically with minimal training is therefore desirable. We apply statistical...journal article 2018

Krah, Alexander (author), Vogelaar, Timothy (author), de Jong, S.I. (author), Claridge, Jolyon K. (author), Bond, Peter J. (author), McMillan, D.G.G. (author)It is a conjecture that the ε subunit regulates ATP hydrolytic function of the F1Fo ATP synthase in bacteria. This has been proposed by the ε subunit taking an extended conformation, with a terminal helix probing into the central architecture of the hexameric catalytic domain, preventing ATP hydrolysis. The ε subunit takes a contracted...journal article 2023
