Diderich, J.A. (author), Weening, S.M. (author), van den Broek, M.A. (author), Pronk, J.T. (author), Daran, J.G. (author)Saccharomyces pastorianus is an interspecies hybrid between S. cerevisiae and S. eubayanus. The identification of the parental species of S. pastorianus enabled the de novo reconstruction of hybrids that could potentially combine a wide array of phenotypic traits. Lager yeasts are characterized by their inability to decarboxylate ferulic acid...journal article 2018

De Ruiter, J. R. (author), Wessels, L.F.A. (author), Jonkers, J. (author)Cancer is a complex disease in which cells progressively accumulate mutations disrupting their cellular processes. A fraction of these mutations drive tumourigenesis by affecting oncogenes or tumour suppressor genes, but many mutations are passengers with no clear contribution to tumour development. The advancement of DNA and RNA sequencing...review 2018

Liem, C.C.S. (author), Langer, Markus (author), Demetriou, A.M. (author), Hiemstra, Annemarie M.F. (author), Achmadnoer Sukma Wicaksana, Sukma (author), Born, Marise Ph. (author), König, Cornelis J. (author)In a rapidly digitizing world, machine learning algorithms are increasingly employed in scenarios that directly impact humans. This also is seen in job candidate screening. Data-driven candidate assessment is gaining interest, due to high scalability and more systematic assessment mechanisms. However, it will only be truly accepted and trusted...book chapter 2018

Huynh Thanh Le, T. (author)Corrosion on the car underbody can affect critical parts, which poses safety risks. The current corrosion protection methods such as wax, sealers and coatings are not effective enough and an advance form of corrosion protection is desired. Implementation of smart coatings might be an effective solution. These coatings contain a self-healing...master thesis 2017

Adal, K.M. (author), Van Etten, Peter G. (author), Martinez, Jose P (author), Rouwen, Kenneth W. (author), Vermeer, K.A. (author), van Vliet, L.J. (author)People with diabetes mellitus need annual screening to check for the development of diabetic retinopathy. Tracking small retinal changes due to early diabetic retinopathy lesions in longitudinal fundus image sets is challenging due to intra- and inter-visit variability in illumination and image quality, the required high registration accuracy...journal article 2017

Adal, K.M. (author), Van Etten, Peter G. (author), Martinez, Jose P (author), Rouwen, Kenneth (author), Vermeer, K.A. (author), van Vliet, L.J. (author)Automated detection and quantification of spatio-temporal retinal changes is an important step to objectively assess disease progression and treatment effects for dynamic retinal diseases such as diabetic retinopathy (DR). However, detecting retinal changes caused by early DR lesions such as microaneurysms and dot hemorrhages from...conference paper 2017

Straver, R. (author), Weiss, Marjan M. (author), Waisfisz, Quinten (author), Sistermans, Erik A. (author), Reinders, M.J.T. (author)In clinical genetics, detection of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNVs) as well as copy number variations (CNVs) is essential for patient genotyping. Obtaining both CNV and SNV information from WES data would significantly simplify clinical workflow. Unfortunately, the sequence reads obtained with WES vary between samples, complicating...journal article 2017

Claus, S.J. (author)Electroluminescent material is a light emitting electrically powered composite which consists of a stacked sequence of various specific materials. At the faculty of Industrial Design Engineering there is always an interest for the development of new materials. Yet there is a knowledge gap between the theory and the practical DIY fabrication of...master thesis 2016

van Dis, F. (author), Hoozemans, M (author), van der Graaff, E (author), Veeger, H.E.J. (author)The purpose of this prospective study was to examine the longitudinal changes in shoulder ER ROM and relative IR strength in elite youth baseball pitchers over one year and to determine their associations with changes in ball speed for throwing fastballs. One hundred and five Dutch elite youth baseball pitchers were measured three times over a...conference paper 2016

Jones, S.A. (author), van der Bent, V (author), Farajzadeh, R. (author), Rossen, W.R. (author), Vincent-Bonnieu, S.Y.F. (author)tAqueous foams play an important role in many industrial processes, from ore separation by froth flotationto enhanced oil recovery (EOR). In the latter case, the foam is used as a means of increasing the sweepefficiency through the oil bearing rock – the complex, structure dependent, flow behavior of the foammeans that it has improved...journal article 2016

Baecher, G.B. (author), Christian, J.T. (author)The statistics course most engineers took in college—seldom more than one—introduced them to a particular species of statistics, which, regrettably, is of limited use in geotechnical practice: frequentist sampling theory. That species of statistical thinking arose to address problems of agricultural experimentation, biology, and economics. It is...conference paper 2015

Goossensen, J.P. (author)At the faculty of Industrial Design Engineering there is a constant search for new materials with a potential value within the field of product design. This graduation explores flexible electroluminescent material, a layered material that can be applied by screen printing. More detailed, electroluminescence is the non-thermal generation of light...master thesis 2015

Saffarian, M (author), de Winter, J.C.F. (author), Senders, J.W. (author)It is commonly accepted that vision plays an important role in car braking, but it is unknown how people brake in the absence of visual information. In this simulator study, we measured drivers’ braking behaviour while they had to stop their car at designated positions on the road. The access to visual information was manipulated by occluding...journal article 2015

Wijnja, J. (author)It is the objective of this graduation research to determine the nations with the highest deployment opportunity for airborne wind energy (AWE) generation systems. Compared to conventional, ground based, wind energy systems, the flying structure of the airborne wind turbine substitutes the rotor blades and a tether substitutes the tower. These...master thesis 2014

Papakonstantinou, G. (author)For a prolonged period, the photovoltaic industry has been on the brink of transition towards improving the performance and reducing the manufacturing costs of solar cells. In this view, hydrogenated amorphous/crystalline silicon (a-Si:H/c-Si) heterojunction (SHJ) solar cells have gained considerable attention, by bridging the benefits of c-Si...master thesis 2014

Lin, T.Y. (author)People take time to explore pros and cons of a new technology. Since the biofeedback technology is a relatively state-of-the-art technology, the public do not know a lot about biofeedback technology. So it is important to understand the user acceptance of this technology in the market. In order to develop successful biofeedback products, it is...master thesis 2014

Fahim, P.B.M. (author)Since a company can merely perform as good as allowed by its suppliers, the extreme importance of supplier selection in supply chain management has been increasingly recognized. Supplier selection can be best described as a highly complex process due to the involvement of many, sometimes conflicting, both qualitative and quantitative criteria....master thesis 2014
