Jumbo phages protect their genomes from DNA-sensing bacterial defense systems by enclosing them within vesicles and nucleus-like compartments. Very little is known about defense systems specialized to counter these phages. Here, we show that AVAST Type 5 (Avs5) systems, part of t ...
Addressing non-idealities in Resistive Random Access Memories (RRAMs) is crucial for their successful commercialization. For example, the inherent resistance drift that occurs during consecutive read operations can induce Read Disturb Faults (RDF), leading to functional errors. T ...
In this paper, we present the Amsterdam Modeling Suite (AMS), a comprehensive software platform designed to support advanced molecular and materials simulations across a wide range of chemical and physical systems. AMS integrates cutting-edge quantum chemical methods, including D ...
The goal of the NEUROKIT2E project is to create an open-source Deep Learning framework for edge and embedded AI built around an established European value chain. This framework, called AIDGE, supports a wide range of application areas that operate independently and serve a global ...

A perspective on the next decade of research on the management of Legionella spp. in engineered aquatic environments

The disease burden from Legionella spp. infections has been increasing in many industrialized countries and, despite decades of scientific advances, ranks amongst the highest for waterborne diseases. We review here several key research areas from a multidisciplinary perspective a ...
Application-specific quantum computers offer the most efficient means to tackle problems intractable by classical computers. Realizing these architectures necessitates a deep understanding of quantum circuit properties and their relationship to execution outcomes on quantum devic ...

Panta Rhei

A decade of progress in research on change in hydrology and society

To better understand the increasing human impact on the water cycle and the feedbacks between hydrology and society, the International Association of Hydrological Sciences (IAHS) organized the scientific decade “Panta Rhei–Everything Flows: Change in hydrology and society” (2013– ...

Mechanical properties of 3D printed concrete

A RILEM TC 304-ADC interlaboratory study — approach and main results

To show compliance to structural engineering codes and implement quality control measures, it is critical to obtain reliable mechanical properties of the materials in question. For conventional cast and precast concrete, the experimental procedures and relationships between mecha ...
The early DNA damage on the surface of the Moon due to GCR protons and alpha particles were assessed using a multiscale approach in Geant4. This consisted of three simulation stages. A periodic boundary conditions approach was used to obtain the radiation field on the surface and ...
DNA loop extrusion by SMC proteins is a key process underlying chromosomal organization. It is unknown how loop extruders interact with telomeres where DNA is densely covered with proteins. Using complementary in vivo and in vitro single-molecule approaches, we study how loop-ext ...
Background
In life-threatening illnesses, open information provision can benefit patients and families. However, not all patients prefer to have all information. There is a lack of clinical guidance on how to handle patient preferences for non-disclosure.

Aim
To ...
HollandPTC is an independent outpatient center for proton therapy, scientific research, and education. Patients with different types of cancer are treated with Intensity Modulated Proton Therapy (IMPT). Additionally, the HollandPTC R&D consortium conducts scientific research ...
Molten Salt Reactors (MSR) are Generation IV nuclear systems in which the fuel is dissolved in a molten salt circulating through the primary system. There is growing interest in this advanced technology in Europe, but also in the US, China, South Korea, Japan and Russia, due to t ...
INTRODUCTION: Cognitive resilience refers to maintaining cognitive function despite Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathophysiology. METHODS: We analyzed amyloid-positive individuals across clinical stages of AD in two cohorts: the Amsterdam Dementia Cohort (ADC, N = 1036) and Alzheimer ...
This article presents a 4096-element ultrasound probe for high volume-rate (HVR) cardiovascular imaging. The probe consists of two application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), each of which interfaces with a 2048-element monolithically-integrated capacitive micro-machined ul ...
Assessing cognitive demand is crucial for research on self-regulated learning; however, discrepancies in translating essential concepts across languages can hinder the comparison of research findings. Different languages often emphasize various components and interpret certain co ...
The high thermal stability of a thermoelectric material, which maintains a stable conversion efficiency under prolonged heat exposure, is essential for sustainable thermoelectric applications. Despite the well-known relationship between thermal degradation and microstructural evo ...
Solar radiation modification (SRM) is increasingly discussed as a potential method to ameliorate some negative effects of climate change. However, unquantified uncertainties in physical and environmental impacts of SRM impede informed debate and decision making. Some uncertaintie ...

Acetabular dysplasia and the risk of developing hip osteoarthritis within 4-8 years

An individual participant data meta-analysis of 18,807 hips from the World COACH consortium

Objective
To study the association between various radiographic definitions of acetabular dysplasia (AD) and incident radiographic hip osteoarthritis (RHOA), and to analyze in subgroups.

Methods
Hips free of RHOA at baseline and with follow-up within 4–8 years we ...
Recycling-oriented alloy design is a crucial part of material sustainability, as it reduces the need for raw material extraction and minimises environmental impact. This requires that scraps be reused or repurposed effectively, even when the scraps are co-mingled and have higher ...
