Transport receptor occupancy in nuclear pore complex mimics

Fragasso, A. (author), de Vries, Hendrik W. (author), Andersson, John (author), van der Sluis, E.O. (author), van der Giessen, Erik (author), Onck, Patrick R. (author), Dekker, C. (author)

Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) regulate all molecular transport between the nucleus and the cytoplasm in eukaryotic cells. Intrinsically disordered Phe-Gly nucleoporins (FG-Nups) line the central conduit of NPCs to impart a selective barrier where large proteins are excluded unless bound to a transport receptor (karyopherin; Kap). Here, we...

A cohesive XFEM model for simulating fatigue crack growth under various load conditions

Dekker, R. (author), van der Meer, F.P. (author), Maljaars, J. (author), Sluys, Lambertus J. (author)

This study presents calibration and validation of a cohesive extended finite element model for fatigue crack propagation in ductile materials. The approach relies on a separation between plasticity around the crack tip and fatigue crack growth at the crack tip such that the influence of plasticity on fatigue driving forces is predicted. This...

Road Infrastructure Requirements for Improved Performance of Lane Assistance Systems

Reddy, N. (author), Farah, H. (author), Dekker, Thijs (author), Huang, Yilin (author), van Arem, B. (author)

There is a pressing need for road authorities to take a proactive role in the deployment of automated vehicles on the existing road network. This requires a comprehensive understanding of the road infrastructure requirements that would lead to safe operation of automated vehicles. In this context, a field test with Lane Departure Warning and...

Hormones in speed-dating: The role of testosterone and cortisol in attraction

van der Meij, Leander (author), Demetriou, A.M. (author), Tulin, Marina (author), Méndez, Ileana (author), Dekker, Peter (author), Pronk, Tila (author)

There is evidence that testosterone and cortisol levels are related to the attraction of a romantic partner; testosterone levels relate to a wide range of sexual behaviors and cortisol is a crucial component in the response to stress. To investigate this, we conducted a speed-dating study among heterosexual singles. We measured salivary...

1/f noise in solid-state nanopores is governed by access and surface regions

Fragasso, A. (author), Pud, S. (author), Dekker, C. (author)

The performance of solid-state nanopores as promising biosensors is severely hampered by low-frequency 1/f noise in the through-pore ionic current recordings. Here, we develop a model for the 1/f noise in such nanopores, that, unlike previous reports, accounts for contributions from both the pore-cylinder, pore-surface, and access regions. To...

A cohesive XFEM model for simulating fatigue crack growth under mixed-mode loading and overloading

Dekker, R. (author), van der Meer, F.P. (author), Maljaars, J. (author), Sluys, Lambertus J. (author)

Structures are subjected to cyclic loads that can vary in direction and magnitude, causing constant amplitude mode I simulations to be too simplistic. This study presents a new approach for fatigue crack propagation in ductile materials that can capture mixed-mode loading and overloading. The extended finite element method is used to deal with...

Hysteresis in DNA compaction by Dps is described by an ising model

Vtyurina, N. (author), Dulin, D. (author), Docter, M.W. (author), Meyer, A.S. (author), Dekker, N.H. (author), Abbondanzieri, E. (author)

In all organisms, DNA molecules are tightly compacted into a dynamic 3D nucleoprotein complex. In bacteria, this compaction is governed by the family of nucleoid-associated proteins (NAPs). Under conditions of stress and starvation, an NAP called Dps (DNA binding protein from starved cells) becomes highly up-regulated and can massively...

A comprehensive sediment budget for the Mississippi Barrier Islands

Walstra, D.J.R. (author), De Vroeg, J.H. (author), Van Thiel de Vries, J.S.M. (author), Swinkels, C. (author), Luijendijk, A.P. (author), De Boer, W.P. (author), Hoekstra, R. (author), Hoonhout, B. (author), Henrotte, J. (author), Smolders, T. (author), Dekker, F. (author), Godsey, E. (author)

In order to conceive any realistic plan for post-Katrina island restoration, it is necessary to understand the physical processes that move sand along the littoral drift zone off the coast of Mississippi. This littoral zone influences the character of the Mississippi barrier islands as they exist in an ever changing cycle. To help in this...

Data of Simona population for MDHMS application: Collecting and deriving data for human modelling sotware to use in Flight Simulator Design

Dekker, M.C. (author), Molenbroek, J.F.M. (author)

For the interior design of a flight simulator, the ergonomic software MDHMS has been used to test different interior layout issues. The MDHMS program includes an accommodation analysis capability, which generates a digital sample of the specific target group. This report shows the data required for this analysis. Since there are just a few...
