Mendoza Lugo, M.A. (author), Nogal Macho, M. (author), Morales Napoles, O. (author)Around the world, an increasing amount of bridge infrastructure is ageing. The resources involved in the reassessment of existing assets often exceed available resources and many bridges lack a minimum structural assessment. Therefore, there is a need for comprehensive and quantitative approaches to assess all the assets in the bridge network to...journal article 2024

(author)(1) Background: Structural remodeling plays an important role in the pathophysiology of atrial fibrillation (AF). It is likely that structural remodeling occurs transmurally, giving rise to electrical endo-epicardial asynchrony (EEA). Recent studies have suggested that areas of EEA may be suitable targets for ablation therapy of AF. We...journal article 2024

Mens, J.S. (Jeroen) (author), van Bueren, Ellen (author), Vrijhoef, R. (author), Heurkens, E.W.T.M. (author)Comprehensive understanding of the merits of bottom-up urban development is lacking, thus hampering and complicating associated collaborative processes. Therefore, and given the assumed relevancies, we mapped the social, environmental and economic values generated by bottom-up developments in two Dutch urban areas, using theory-based evaluation...journal article 2023

Daalman, W.K. (author), Sweep, E. (author), Laan, L. (author)Accurate phenotype prediction based on genetic information has numerous societal applications, such as crop design or cellular factories. Epistasis, when biological components interact, complicates modelling phenotypes from genotypes. Here we show an approach to mitigate this complication for polarity establishment in budding yeast, where...journal article 2023

Ibrahimli, N. (author), Ledoux, H. (author), Kooij, J.F.P. (author), Nan, L. (author)We propose an enhancement module called depth discontinuity learning (DDL) for learning-based multi-view stereo (MVS) methods. Traditional methods are known for their accuracy but struggle with completeness. While recent learning-based methods have improved completeness at the cost of accuracy, our DDL approach aims to improve accuracy while...journal article 2023
