(2023)The COVID-19 pandemic changed people's daily activity patterns, which can be reflected by travel purposes, but there is only limited research focused on this area. Besides, literature has revealed that the disadvantaged ... -
Looking into the structure of bijel templated membranes
(2023)Desalination of seawater is an increasingly necessary process as climate change and population growth are making fresh water more scarce. The high energy requirements of this process can be reduced using membrane technology. ... -
Are we asking too much from participants?: An expert consensus on digital skill requirements of decentralised clinical trials
(2023)Background: During the COVID-19 pandemic, many healthcare services were carried out digitally, limiting access of vulnerable populations to healthcare due to inequitable technology access and low digital literacy known as ... -
Characterization of a method to graft biological molecules into norbornene modified gelatin hydrogels using volumetric printing
(2023)The rapidly emerging scientific field of bio fabrication holds many promises for the production of small body parts, organelles or even whole organs. Needless to say, how big of an impact this would have on the daily life ... -
Space, Place, and Social Conflict in Rosario Castellanos' Indigenista Novels

(2023)Methods. In this retrospective observational cohort-study, patients were divided in a fasted-group and fed-group. Progression free survival and overall survival were compared between the two groups, using Kaplan-Meier ... -
Mortality Risk in Patients with Peripheral Artery Disease: A literature review on prognostic models
(2023)Background Several prognostic factors are associated with predicting mortality in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD), and some are included in prediction models for mortality risk. Still, there is no literature ... -
Plant Pathogens Consistently Reduce the Relative Abundance of Bacterial Order Sphingomonadales upon Infection
(2023)Plants are inhabited by a collection of microorganisms, together called the microbiome. Some of these microorganisms can positively influence plant functioning, while others negatively impact plant health. Therefore, the ... -
The Fractional Laplacian: An adaptive finite difference approach in one and two dimensions, with applications.
(2023)The fractional Laplacian can be viewed as a generalisation of the ordinary Laplacian and likewise can be used to model systems in sectors such as engineering, hydrology and biology. Super diffusion, a consequence of Lévy ... -
Differences between women and men with peripheral artery disease. A look at symptoms and primary health care contacts
(2023)Women with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) are often under-diagnosed, present with more advanced disease and, at older ages and have a worse outcome than men. This study investigates possible differences in symptom ... -
Evaluating a priori and a posteriori dose adjustments in silico: the case of pharmacogenetics and TDM
(2023)INTRODUCTION: High variability in drug exposure and subsequent drug response can hamper effectiveness and safety. Dose adjustments can be made a priori (e.g. pharmacogenetic testing) or a posteriori (e.g. therapeutic drug ... -
