Accelerating the Transition from Animal Studies to Next Generation Risk Assessment for Pharmaceuticals
(2023)New approach methodologies (NAMs) are techniques that can be used for the safety assessment of pharmaceuticals and other chemicals. These techniques exclude the use of animals. The regulatory acceptance of the usage of ... -
Representational role-play in Guild Wars 2: creation, customization and expression of a character identity.
(2023)When researching role-play in MMORPGs, most scholars do not define whether they mean the goal-oriented form of role-play or the acting-oriented form of role-play. Additionally, most scholars delve into a very text-focused ... -
Een onderzoek naar alternatieve beloningsmogelijkheden voor werknemers in de ouderenzorg
(2023)Vele prognoses tonen dat er een groot personeelstekort in de zorg komt. De begroting voor zorg- en verpleegkosten is echter niet ongelimiteerd. Daaruit is de vraag gerezen: kunnen zorgmedewerkers (maximaal MBO niveau 4) ... -
Why are continent catheterizable channels continent? A proof of principle urodynamic study.
(2023)A continent catheterizable channel is an elegant option for patients who are unable to perform clean intermittent catheterization through the urethra. However, leakage through the channel is a frequently occurring complication. ... -
Towards a Structural Understanding of the Mode of Action of Daptomycin: A Lipid Perspective
(2023)Membranes form an indispensable barrier for every form of life. They contain a variety of proteins and also different lipid species. Undoubtedly, there are many interactions between lipids and between lipids and proteins. ... -
Multi-output Deep Learning and Explainable AI methods for Lesion-Symptom Mapping
(2023)Cerebral small vessel disease is a common condition that can lead to stroke and dementia, which cause disability in different cognitive domains. Lesion-Symptom Mapping (LSM) techniques aim to find correlations between the ... -
Classifying Legally Actionable Threats using Language Models
(2023)Threat classification is a relatively new research field in the Natural Language Pro- cessing domain. It pertains to models attempting to classify what texts constitute a threat and which texts do not. This is an essential ... -
Localizing Extracellular Vesicles by TREx Microscopy In Vitro and In Vivo
(2023)In this report we present our data for the use of TREx microscopy, an improved expansion microscopy protocol, to visualize extracellular vesicles (EVs) in vitro and in vivo. Here we focused specifically on exosomes. In ... -
Abductive and Contrastive Explanations for Bayesian Networks and their Computational Complexity
(2023)Contrastive and abductive explanations are types of explanations that can be used to explain a classification by a classifier. An abductive explanation is a minimal subset of input variables that guarantees the observed ... -
Controlling the electrokinetic transport of polyelectrolytes
(2023)We investigated the electrokinetic transport mechanisms that drive active transport of charged species in a homogeneous electric field. Microscopy and streaming potential measurements were used to determine electroosmotic ... -

The United States and the European Union in post-war Kosovo, 1999-2012: an analysis of transatlantic peacebuilding approaches
(2023)After much was made of the transatlantic discordance with regards to foreign policy vis-à-vis Kosovo during the Trump presidency, the question arose how their efforts towards building a peaceful post-conflict state looked ... -
Ulceration in Mexican Acral Lentiginous Melanoma patients
(2023)Objectives: Identify biomolecular mechanisms responsible for acral lentiginous melanoma (ALM) ulceration and its associated worsened clinical outcomes. Methods: Transcriptomes of 59 Mexican ALM patients with varying ... -
Cell Types for Cultured Meat Production: Current Challenges and Recent Advances
(2023)The production of cultured meat, also known as cultivated meat or clean meat, involves integrating biomaterials and cells with self-renewal and myogenic differentiation potential to engineer meat in vitro for consumption. ... -
Worth more than gold
(2023)Research within Natural Language Generation is evolving rapidly as new models are consistently reported to outperform previous works based on popular metrics, such as n-gram-based BLEU and ROUGE or model-based, such as ... -
Electrophysiological transmission of motor signals during stroke recovery in rats
(2023)Background – Stroke patients often experience motor function impairments as a result of damaged motor fibres such as the corticospinal tract (CST) and alternate motor fibres (aMFs). However, the relationship and contribution ... -
Epidemiology and risk factors for acute kidney injury in staphylococcus aureus bacteremia
(2023)Background Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia is a fulminant disease with a high morbidity and mortality. A frequent complication is the development of acute kidney injury, which occurs in up to 40% of these patients, and ...
