Liu, J. (author), Borja, Pablo (author), Della Santina, C. (author)This work concerns the application of physics-informed neural networks to the modeling and control of complex robotic systems. Achieving this goal requires extending physics-informed neural networks to handle nonconservative effects. These learned models are proposed to combine with model-based controllers originally developed with first...journal article 2024

Pan, J. (author), Ferreira, Carlos (author), van Zuijlen, A.H. (author)To investigate the effect of force distributions of each turbine component on the power performance of the Darrieus–Savonius combined vertical axis wind turbine (hybrid VAWT), the hybrid VAWT is modeled as idealized turbine under various force distributions. The goal of idealization is to simplify the intricate interactions between the...journal article 2024

Liu, Hanqing (author), Brahmi, Hatem (author), Boix-Constant, Carla (author), van der Zant, H.S.J. (author), Steeneken, P.G. (author), Verbiest, G.J. (author)Heat transport in two dimensions is fundamentally different from that in three dimensions. As a consequence, the thermal properties of 2D materials are of great interest, from both scientific and application points of view. However, few techniques are available for the accurate determination of these properties in ultrathin suspended...journal article 2024

Colina Alonso, A. (author), van Maren, D.S. (author), Oost, Albert Peter (author), Esselink, Peter (author), Lepper, Robert (author), Kösters, Frank (author), Bartholdy, Jesper (author), Bijleveld, Allert (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author)The world’s coasts and deltas are progressively threatened by climate change and human activities. The degree at which coastlines can adapt to these changes strongly depends on the sediment availability. The availability of muddy sediments is however poorly known. This study aims at developing a mud budget for the world’s largest system of...journal article 2024

(author)All-solid-state lithium batteries have attracted widespread attention for next-generation energy storage, potentially providing enhanced safety and cycling stability. The performance of such batteries relies on solid electrolyte materials; hence many structures/phases are being investigated with increasing compositional complexity. Among the...journal article 2024

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

Stumpel, J.F.H.J. (author), Volcic, Robert (author), Wijntjes, M.W.A. (author)In European painting, a transition took place where artists started to consciously introduce blurred or soft contours in their works. There may have been several reasons for this. One suggestion in art historical literature is that this may have been done to create a stronger sense of volume in the depicted figures or objects. Here we...journal article 2024

Bostan, I. (author), van Egmond, R. (author), Gommers, D.A.M.P.J. (author), Ozcan Vieira, E. (author)Intensive Care Unit (ICU) nurses are burdened by excessive number of false and irrelevant alarms generated by patient monitoring systems. Nurses rely on these patient monitoring systems for timely and relevant medical information concerning patients. However, the systems currently in place are not sensitive to the perceptual and cognitive...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

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

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
