Ekka, A. (author), Pande, S. (author), Jiang, Yong (author), van der Zaag, P. (author)The process of development has led to the modification of river landscapes. This has created imbalances between ecological, economic, and socio-cultural uses of ecosystem services (ESs), threatening the biotic and social integrity of rivers. Anthropogenic modifications influence river landscapes on multiple scales, which impact river-flow...review 2020

Zhao, Jiale (author), Yang, Fu Qiang (author), Guo, Yong (author), Ren, X. (author)As the shallow mineral resources are nearly depleted, the mining of deep resources has become an urgent problem to be studied. The increase in mine depth can lead to the increase of mine heat hazard, which is a critical concern for mining safety/occupational health and safety. However, there are limited review articles available regarding the...review 2023

(author)Literature proposes numerous initiatives for optimization of the Operating Room (OR). Despite multiple suggested strategies for the optimization of workflow on the OR, its patients and (medical) staff, no uniform description of ‘optimization’ has been adopted. This makes it difficult to evaluate the proposed optimization strategies. In...review 2023

Lindborg, Per Magnus (author), Lenzi, Sara (author), Chen, Manni (author)Introduction: It has proven a hard challenge to stimulate climate action with climate data. While scientists communicate through words, numbers, and diagrams, artists use movement, images, and sound. Sonification, the translation of data into sound, and visualization, offer techniques for representing climate data with often innovative and...review 2023

de Miguel-Fernández, Jesús (author), Lobo-Prat, Joan (author), Prinsen, Erik (author), Font-Llagunes, Josep M. (author), Marchal Crespo, L. (author)Background: In the past decade, there has been substantial progress in the development of robotic controllers that specify how lower-limb exoskeletons should interact with brain-injured patients. However, it is still an open question which exoskeleton control strategies can more effectively stimulate motor function recovery. In this review,...review 2023

Saint-Michel, B.F.B. (author), Garbin, V. (author)Bubbles in complex fluids are often desirable, and sometimes simply inevitable, in the processing of formulated products. Bubbles can rise by buoyancy, grow or dissolve by mass transfer, and readily respond to changes in pressure, thereby applying a deformation to the surrounding complex fluid. The deformation field around a stationary,...review 2020

Glazenburg, M.M. (author), Laan, L. (author)Cellular life exhibits order and complexity, which typically increase over the course of evolution. Cell polarization is a well-studied example of an ordering process that breaks the internal symmetry of a cell by establishing a preferential axis. Like many cellular processes, polarization is driven by self-organization, meaning that the...review 2023

Xu, X. (author), Hilberath, T. (author), Hollmann, F. (author)Heme-dependent oxygenases (i.e. P450 monooxygenases and peroxygenases) are highly selective catalysts for the selective oxyfunctionalisation or organic compounds. Both enzyme classes exhibit mechanistic similarities (i.e. using so-called compound I (CpdI) as active oxidation species) and differences in how CpdI is formed. From the differences...review 2023

(author)The maintenance of people’s lifestyle against global climate change, exhaustion of groundwater, depletion of minerals, and water scarcity has instigated the recycling and reuse of water from unlikely sources. This situation has motivated researchers to develop effective technologies for treating wastewater, enabling its reuse. Water security has...review 2023

Object properties (OP), such as texture, stiffness, size, shape, temperature, weight, and orientation provide necessary information to successfully perform interactions. The human haptic perception system plays a key role in this. As...review 2023

Müser, Martin H. (author), Nicola, L. (author)The small-scale topography of surfaces critically affects the contact area of solids and thus the forces acting between them. Although this has long been known, only recent advances made it possible to reliably model interfacial forces and related quantities for surfaces with multiscale roughness. This article sketches both recent and...review 2023
