van Assenbergh, S.P. (author), Meinders, Erwin (author), Geraedts, Jo M.P. (author), Dodou, D. (author)When designing a new nanostructure or microstructure, one can follow a processing-based manufacturing pathway, in which the structure properties are defined based on the processing capabilities of the fabrication method at hand. Alternatively, a performance-based pathway can be followed, where the envisioned performance is first defined, and...review 2018

Krah, Alexander (author), Zarco-Zavala, Mariel (author), McMillan, D.G.G. (author)ATP synthases catalyse the formation of ATP, the most common chemical energy storage unit found in living cells. These enzymes are driven by an electrochemical ion gradient, which allows the catalytic evolution of ATP by a binding change mechanism. Most ATP synthases are capable of catalysing ATP hydrolysis to varying degrees, and to prevent...review 2018

van der Kruk, E. (author), Reijne, M.M. (author)Objective: Sport research often requires human motion capture of an athlete. It can, however, be labour-intensive and difficult to select the right system, while manufacturers report on specifications which are determined in set-ups that largely differ from sport research in terms of volume, environment and motion. The aim of this review is...review 2018
