Zhu, Tingting (author), Martina, Diah (author), Heide, Agnes van der (author), Korfage, Ida J. (author), Rietjens, J.A.C. (author)Background: Acculturation is the process of two different cultures coming into contact. It is unclear how acculturation influences Chinese immigrants’ engagement in advance care planning due to the complexity and multifaceted nature of both acculturation and advance care planning. Aims: To synthesize evidence regarding the role of Chinese...review 2023

Peters, J.A. (author), Djanashvili, K. (author)In this review, the chemical mechanisms behind the interactions between boronic acids and N-acetylneuraminic acids, which have been widely utilized in biomedicine in recent decades, will be examined. It will also be highlighted that the affinity of boronic acids for N-acetylneuraminic acids is dependent on pH and is complementary to their...review 2023

Oliveira, Marta Fernandes (author), Mendonça, Paulo (author), Tenpierik, M.J. (author), Santiago, Pedro (author), Silva, José F. (author), Silva, Lígia Torres (author)How to analyse the omissions of thermal regulations and evaluate methodologies that provide building execution or thermal certificates that do not correspond to reality and usually incur costs? We can start by analysing different simulation methods and shading calculations that provide solar gains and shadow optimisation. After evaluating how...review 2023

Dimitriadis, Theo (author), Della Porta, Delia (author), Perschl, Johanna (author), Evers, A.W.M. (author), Magee, Wendy L. (author), Schaefer, Rebecca S. (author)Music is increasingly used in a wide array of settings, from clinical recovery to sports or well-being interventions. Motivation related to music is often considered as a possible working mechanism for music to facilitate these processes, however this has not previously been systematically evaluated. The current systematic review considered...review 2023

Kim, Eugene (author), Barth, R. (author), Dekker, C. (author)SMC (structural maintenance of chromosomes) protein complexes are an evolutionarily conserved family of motor proteins that hold sister chromatids together and fold genomes throughout the cell cycle by DNA loop extrusion. These complexes play a key role in a variety of functions in the packaging and regulation of chromosomes, and they have...review 2023

Li, Z. (author), Chen, Y. (author), Provis, John L. (author), Cizer, Özlem (author), Ye, G. (author)This paper provides a critical review on autogenous shrinkage of alkali-activated slag (AAS). It is reported that AAS paste, mortar, and concrete generally show larger autogenous shrinkage than Portland cement (PC) counterparts. Self-desiccation is the main driving force of the autogenous shrinkage of hardened AAS, but other mechanisms also...review 2023

Yarali, E. (author), Zadpoor, A.A. (author), Staufer, U. (author), Accardo, A. (author), Mirzaali, Mohammad J. (author)Mechanical and morphological design parameters, such as stiffness or porosity, play important roles in creating orthopedic implants and bone substitutes. However, we have only a limited understanding of how the microarchitecture of porous scaffolds contributes to bone regeneration. Meta-biomaterials are increasingly used to precisely engineer...review 2023

McMorland, J. (author), Collu, M. (author), McMillan, D. (author), Carroll, James (author), Coraddu, A. (author)As new offshore wind development sites move further from shore and existing sites enter their post-subsidy operating period, it is expected that operational expenditure (OpEx) will increase. In order to overcome these challenges, a more flexible and cost-effective maintenance solution is needed. One such solution is opportunistic maintenance ...review 2023

van de Water, W. (author)I comment on the recent article Grüneisen approach for universal scaling of the Brillouin shift in gases by Liang et al (2022 New J. Phys. 24 103005). While the result of this article indeed provides a parametrization of measured Rayleigh Brillouin scattering spectra, I argue that the association with the Grüneisen effect is fortuitous. The...review 2023

Schram Serban, Corina (author), de Groot, N.M.S. (author)(1) Background. Obesity is a well-established worldwide recognised risk factor for atrial fibrillation (AF). Prior review papers reported on the associations between obesity and AF development, but not on the relation between obesity and atrial electrophysiology. We therefore conducted a systematic review to describe the current knowledge of...review 2023

Van de Cauter, L. (author), van Buren, L. (author), Koenderink, G.H. (author), Ganzinger, Kristina A. (author)Creating an artificial cell from the bottom up is a long-standing challenge and, while significant progress has been made, the full realization of this goal remains elusive. Arguably, one of the biggest hurdles that researchers are facing now is the assembly of different modules of cell function inside a single container. Giant unilamellar...review 2023
