(author), Golestanian, Ramin (author), Aksimentiev, Aleksei (author), Dietz, Hendrik (author), Dekker, C. (author)Rotary motors play key roles in energy transduction, from macroscale windmills to nanoscale turbines such as ATP synthase in cells. Despite our abilities to construct engines at many scales, developing functional synthetic turbines at the nanoscale has remained challenging. Here, we experimentally demonstrate rationally designed nanoscale DNA...journal article 2023

Dekker, Bo (author), Schouten, A.C. (author), Scharenborg, O.E. (author)Silent speech interfaces could enable people who lost the ability to use their voice or gestures to communicate with the external world, e.g., through decoding the person’s brain signals when imagining speech. Only a few and small databases exist that allow for the development and training of brain computer interfaces (BCIs) that can decode...conference paper 2023

Kawasaki, S. (author), Saccher, M. (author), de Wijs, Willem-Jan (author), van den Brand, Jeroen (author), Dekker, R. (author)Capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducers (CMUTs) with a built-in charge layer are known as a pre-charged CMUT. In our prior work, we have shown how to model and characterize the charges inside the pre-charged collapse-mode CMUT and conducted life-time test that showed that the charges trapped inside the dielectric were stable in the order...conference paper 2023

(author), Giagka, Vasiliki (author), Savoia, Alessandro Stuart (author), Dekker, R. (author)Capacitive Micromachined Ultrasound Transducers (CMUTs) have many advantages compared to other ultrasonic transducer technologies, especially for implantable devices. However, they require a high bias voltage for efficient operation. To eliminate the need for an external bias voltage, a charge storage layer can be embedded in the dielectric....conference paper 2023

Saccher, M. (author), Rashidi, A. (author), Savoia, Alessandro Stuart (author), Giagka, Vasiliki (author), Dekker, R. (author)In the domain of ultrasonically powered biomedical implants, there is an increasing interest in cm-scale ultrasonic receivers (RX). However, when a single-element transducer is used as the RX transducer, an uneven phase distribution across the RX area can significantly reduce the harvestable power. In this paper, we investigate the impact of...conference paper 2023

(author), Giagka, Vasiliki (author)Aluminum Nitride (AlN) Piezoelectric Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducers (PMUTs) are gaining interest for biomedical implant power due to biocompatibility and lowtemperature processing. However, due to the low piezoelectric coefficient of AlN PMUTs, storage capacitors are often used to accumulate ultrasonic power transferred over an extended...conference paper 2023

Akyüz, M. Hakan (author), Dekker, Rommert (author), Sharif Azadeh, S. (author)The exclusive and excessive use of long-distance road transportation is not suitable way to reduce the negative environmental impacts of logistics systems. Intermodal transport, combining road with other transport modes, has the potential to reduce both operating costs and carbon footprints. One of the reasons for the low share of intermodal...journal article 2023

Meindlhumer, S. (author), Brauns, Fridtjof (author), Finžgar, Jernej Rudi (author), Kerssemakers, J.W.J. (author), Dekker, C. (author), Frey, Erwin (author)The Min proteins constitute the best-studied model system for pattern formation in cell biology. We theoretically predict and experimentally show that the propagation direction of in vitro Min protein patterns can be controlled by a hydrodynamic flow of the bulk solution. We find downstream propagation of Min wave patterns for low MinE:MinD...journal article 2023

Sanchez González, H. (author), Liu, Z. (author), van Veen, E.N.W. (author), van Laar, T. (author), Diffley, John F.X. (author), Dekker, N.H. (author)Chromatin replication involves the assembly and activity of the replisome within the nucleosomal landscape. At the core of the replisome is the Mcm2-7 complex (MCM), which is loaded onto DNA after binding to the Origin Recognition Complex (ORC). In yeast, ORC is a dynamic protein that diffuses rapidly along DNA, unless halted by origin...journal article 2023

Barth, R. (author), Pradhan, B. (author), Kim, E. (author), Davidson, Iain F. (author), van der Torre, J. (author), Peters, Jan Michael (author), Dekker, C. (author)DNA loop extrusion by structural-maintenance-of-chromosome (SMC) complexes has emerged as a primary organizing principle for chromosomes. The mechanism by which SMC motor proteins extrude DNA loops is still unresolved and much debated. The ring-like structure of SMC complexes prompted multiple models where the extruded DNA is topologically or...journal article 2023

Blanch Jover, A. (author), Dekker, C. (author)The Cdv system is the protein machinery that performs cell division and other membrane-deforming processes in a subset of archaea. Evolutionarily, the system is closely related to the eukaryotic ESCRT machinery, with which it shares many structural and functional similarities. Since its first description 15 years ago, the understanding of the...review 2023

Dekker, Ruben (author)Supporting designers working with AI is important, yet the tools they have at their disposal are in many ways not satisfactory. The aim of this project was to design a digital canvas tool which lets designers explore AI and ML, adopt the affordances that AI and ML as a design material give, and which can be used to map out and design integrated...master thesis 2022

Dekker, Joey (author)Advection is at the heart of fluid dynamics and is responsible for many interesting phenomena. Unfortunately, it is also the source of the non-linearity of fluid dynamics. As such, its numerical treatment is challenging and often suboptimal. One way to more effectively deal with advection is by using a Lagrangian formulation instead of the...master thesis 2022

Dekker, Joanne (author)This study is about young adults who cannot work or study due to mental health problems. When they turn 18, they have to wait for new care because of the transition from youth care to the adult social domain. This is why they are referred to as the W18 (waiteen) in this report.<br/><br/>Besides waiting time, this study outlines four other...master thesis 2022

Dekker, Bo (author)To enable communication for patients who have lost the ability to speak due to severe neuromuscular diseases, covert speech based brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) might be used. These system use neural signals arising from covert speech and translate them into text or synthesised speech. Covert speech is imagining to speak without moving any of...master thesis 2022
