Berghuis, N.F. (author), Mars-Groenendijk, R.H. (author), Busker, R.W. (author), Paauw, A. (author), van Leeuwen, H.C. (author)CRISPR–Cas (CC)-based detection technologies have some exceptional features, which hold the promise of developing into the nextgeneration diagnostic platforms. One of these features is the ability to trigger non-specific single-stranded DNA/RNA cleavage activity after specific target recognition and Cas enzyme activation. This cleavage activity...article 2022

Liu, D. (author), van den Boom, S.J. (author), Simone, A. (author), Aragon, A.M. (author)We propose an enriched finite element formulation to address the computational modeling of contact problems and the cou pling of non-conforming discretizations in the small deformation setting. The displacement field is augmented by enriched terms that are associated with generalized degrees of freedom collocated along non-conforming interfaces...article 2022

Dijkstra-Soudarissanane, S. (author), Gunkel, S.N.B. (author), Reinders, V. (author)Elderly people in care homes face a great lack of contact with their families and loved ones. Social isolation and loneliness are detrimental factors for older people in their health condition, cognitive impairment and quality of life. We previously presented a communication system that facilitated high-quality mediated social contact through an...conference paper 2022

Lanooy, T. (author), Brink, N.J. (author), Kornaat, W. (author), Borsboom, W.A. (author)The building airtightness is essential to achieve a high energy performance. In most countries however, it is not mandatory to measure the airtightness. In the Netherlands it is common practice to just take a couple samples in a housing project. These samples do not give a good indication for all the buildings in a project. It is therefore...article 2021

Cornelissen, R. (author), Maljaars, J. (author), Hofmeyer, H. (author)Curved aluminium extrusions are applied in a wide range of industrial applications. Because extrusions are initially straight, an additional process is required to curve the product. Undesired wrinkling of the plate part at the inner radius is frequently observed during the curving process. Wrinkling has already been extensively studied for the...article 2021

Kramer, L. (author), Peters, J. (author), Voorhoeve, R.J. (author), Witvoet, G. (author), Kuiper, S. (author)The demand for higher data transfer between satellites and ground stations is ever increasing. To address this, (free-space) optical communication (OC) technology is emerging. Pointing mechanisms with low size, weight and power (SWaP), high accuracy and low recurring costs are key enablers for constellations of OC systems. In this paper, TNO...conference paper 2020

Behrouzian, A.R.B. (author), Goswami, D. (author), Basten, T. (author), Geilen, M. (author), Alizadeh Ara, H. (author), Hendriks, M. (author)(m, k)-firm real-time tasks require meeting the deadline of at least m jobs out of any k consecutive jobs. When compared to hard real-time tasks, (m, k)-firm tasks open up the possibility of tighter resource-dimensioning in implementations. Firmness analysis verifies the satisfaction of (m, k)-firmness conditions. Scheduling policies under which...conference paper 2020

(author), Veldhorst, M. (author)We fabricate Josephson field-effect transistors in germanium quantum wells contacted by superconducting aluminum and demonstrate supercurrents carried by holes that extend over junction lengths of several micrometers. In superconducting quantum point contacts we observe discretization of supercurrent, as well as Fabry-Perot resonances,...article 2019

(author)In addition to the desired aesthetical properties, a coating is applied to protect against weathering. A coating prevents moisture accumulation in wood by reducing the water uptake into the wood by its barrier function. The studies in the coating permeability has gained interest with the shift towards waterborne coatings, which make coatings...article 2019

Klusener, S. (author), Mooij, A.J. (author), Ketema, J. (author), van Wezep, H. (author)When software components are developed iteratively, code frequently evolves in an inductive manner: A unit is created and is then copied and modified many times. Such development often happens when variation points and, hence, proper domain abstractions are initially unclear. As a result, there may be substantial amounts of code duplication, and...conference paper 2018
