van Bemmelen, J. (author), Smyth, Davida S. (author), Baaijens, J.A. (author)Background: Metagenomic profiling algorithms commonly rely on genomic differences between lineages, strains, or species to infer the relative abundances of sequences present in a sample. This observation plays an important role in the analysis of diverse microbial communities, where targeted sequencing of 16S and 18S rRNA, both well-known...journal article 2024

Spierenburg, L.J. (author), van Cranenburgh, S. (author), Cats, O. (author)We investigate the evolution of residential segregation patterns in the Netherlands, with a focus on the population with a non-western migration background. Unlike previous research relying on predefined spatial structures, this study employs a regionalization approach to track the evolution of social enclaves in 82 municipalities from 2015...journal article 2024

Xu, J. (author), Doubrovski, E.L. (author), Ozdemir, Mehmet (author), Geraedts, Jo M.P. (author), Song, Y. (author)Structural electronics has garnered significant attention in the past decade. However, there remains a lack of a systematic approach in designing and manufacturing sensors that leverage both mechanical and electronic properties of materials for different applications. In this paper, we introduce a method for designing piezoresistive force...journal article 2024

Figueroa, C.A. (author), Aguilera, Adrian (author), Hoffmann, Thomas J. (author), Fukuoka, Yoshimi (author)Background: Women are less physically active, report greater perceived barriers for exercise, and show higher levels of depressive symptoms. This contributes to high global disability. The relationship between perceived barriers for physical activity and depressive symptoms in women remains largely unexplored. The aims of this cross-sectional...journal article 2024

Li, Z. (author), Xu, M. (author), Norte, R.A. (author), Aragon, A.M. (author), Steeneken, P.G. (author), Alijani, F. (author)Although strain engineering and soft-clamping techniques for attaining high Q-factors in nanoresonators have received much attention, their impact on nonlinear dynamics is not fully understood. In this study, we show that nonlinearity of high-Q Si<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub> nanomechanical string resonators can be substantially tuned by support...journal article 2024

(author), Bertinetti, Luca (author), Politi, Yael (author), Ben-Tabou de-Leon, Smadar (author)Biomineralization had apparently evolved independently in different phyla, using distinct minerals, organic scaffolds, and gene regulatory networks (GRNs). However, diverse eukaryotes from unicellular organisms, through echinoderms to vertebrates, use the actomyosin network during biomineralization. Specifically, the actomyosin remodeling...journal article 2024

Bouros, Panagiotis (author), Titkov, Artur (author), Christodoulou, G.C. (author), Rauch, Christian (author), Mamoulis, Nikos (author)A wide range of applications manage interval data. HINT was recently proposed to hierarchically index intervals in main memory. The index outperforms competitive structures by a wide margin, but under its current setup, HINT is able to service only single query requests. In practice however, real systems receive a large number of queries at...conference paper 2024

Rudd, M.T. (author), Schultz, Marc R. (author), Bisagni, C. (author)Traditionally, launch vehicles are constructed with a series of buckling-prone thin-walled cylindrical and conical shells, in which the buckling behavior of these shells has been well studied and buckling design guidance exists. Conical-cylindrical shell geometry is now being utilized for launch-vehicle stage adapters and payload adapters due...conference paper 2024

Heidary, Amir (author), Ghaffarian Niasar, M. (author), Popov, M. (author)This paper introduces an innovative Magnetic Switch (MFS) designed to control and alter magnetic flux within energy system components, offering an alternative to conventional power electronic devices. The MFS comprises a low-current control coil, a control core, and a high-density magnetic flux-carrying main core combined with a main coil energy...journal article 2024

Liu, X. (author), Bharos, N.P. (author), Markovich, L. (author), Borregaard, J. (author)Generating entanglement between distributed network nodes is a prerequisite for the quantum internet. Entanglement distribution protocols based on high-dimensional photonic qudits enable the simultaneous generation of multiple entangled pairs, which can significantly reduce the required coherence time of the qubit registers. However, current...journal article 2024

Pokhrel, Pranisha (author), Zhou, Yangxiao (author), Smits, F.J.C. (author), Kamps, Pierre (author), Olsthoorn, T.N. (author)An error was made in the definition of the density parameter ρ in Equations 7, 8 and 9 of the original article. It was defined as the bulk density of the aquifer, whereas it should have been the density of pore water. Additionally the density of the aquifer solid matrix ρ<sub>s</sub>, used in equation 11 to compute the retardation factor, was...journal article 2024
