(author), Hiemstra, P.S. (author), Kooter, I.M. (author)Harmful effects of diesel emissions can be investigated via exposures of human epithelial cells, but most of previous studies have largely focused on the use of diesel particles or emission sources that are poorly representative of engines used in current traffic. We studied the cellular response of primary bronchial epithelial cells (PBECs) at...article 2018

Bultink, C.C. (author), Tarasinski, B. (author), Haandbæk, N. (author), Poletto, S. (author), Haider, N. (author), Michalak, D.J. (author), Bruno, A. (author), DiCarlo, L. (author)We present and demonstrate a general three-step method for extracting the quantum efficiency of dispersive qubit readout in circuit QED. We use active depletion of post-measurement photons and optimal integration weight functions on two quadratures to maximize the signal-to-noise ratio of the non-steady-state homodyne measurement. We derive...article 2018

den Hartog, E.A. (author), Rubenstein, C.D. (author), Deaton, A.S. (author), Bogerd, C.P. (author)A major concern for responders to hazardous materials (HazMat) incidents is the heat strain that is caused by fully encapsulated impermeable (NFPA 1991) suits. In a research project, funded by the US Department of Defense, the thermal strain experienced when wearing these suits was studied. Forty human subjects between the ages of 25 and 50...article 2017

Jansen, H.W. (author), de Jong, C.A.F. (author)Thecontributionofshippingnoisetothebackground noise in the seas can be estimated by shipping noise maps. Noise maps can be made by applying appropriate modeling tools for underwater sound propagation and ship source levels to information on the acoustic environment and on the ship traffic in the area of the map. The development of reliable source...article 2017

de Koning, M.C. (author), van Grol, M. (author), Breijaert, T.C. (author)In recent years, Zr-based metal−organic frameworks (MOFs) have been developed that facilitate catalytic degradation of toxic organophosphate agents, such as chemical warfare agents (CWAs). Because of strict regulations, experiments using live agents are not possible for most laboratories and, as a result, simulants are used in the majority of...article 2017

Activity based protein profiling leads to identification of novel protein targets for nerve agent VXCarmany, D. (author), Walz, A.J. (author), Hsu, F.L. (author), Benton, B. (author), Burnett, D. (author), Gibbons, J. (author), Noort, D. (author), Glaros, T. (author), Sekowski, J.W. (author)Organophosphorus (OP) nerve agents continue to be a threat at home and abroad during the war against terrorism. Human exposure to nerve agents such as VX results in a cascade of toxic effects relative to the exposure level including ocular miosis, excessive secretions, convulsions, seizures, and death. The primary mechanism behind these overt...article 2017

Calmet, I. (author), Mestayer, P.G. (author), van Eijk, A.M.J. (author), Herlédant, O. (author)We complete the analysis of the data obtained during the experimental campaign around the semi circular bay of Quiberon, France, during two weeks in June 2006 (see Part 1). A reanalysis of numerical simulations performed with the Advanced Regional Prediction System model is presented. Three nested computational domains with increasing horizontal...article 2017

(author)The three-dimensional (3D) microporous titanium aminoterephthalate MIL-125-NH_2 (MIL: Material of Institut Lavoisier) was successfully isolated as monodispersed nanoparticles, which are compatible with intravenous administration, by using a simple, safe and low-cost synthetic approach (100 °C/32 h under atmospheric pressure) so that for the...article 2017

(author)The main goal of the present study was to obtain insight into depot formation and penetration following percutaneous VX poisoning, in order to identify an appropriate decontamination window that can enhance or support medical countermeasures. The study was executed in two phases, using the hairless guinea pig as an animal model. In the first...article 2017

(author)Temperature sensitivity of bovine milk beta-lactoglobulin (BLG) was assessed in the presence/absence of non-reducing sugars (sucrose and trehalose) and polyols (glycerol and sorbitol). None of them affected the structural features of the protein at room temperature, where the only observed effect was an increased affinity towards hydrophobic...article 2017

(author)In this paper we present the NECSAVE system which allows the control of heterogeneous unmanned vehicles under challenging environments by a single human operator by providing it with the desired highlevel objectives. The described software stack takes care of decomposing the high-level objectives into assignable tasks and (re)distributing the...conference paper 2017

van Dongen, L. (author), Timan, T. (author)The increasing number of smart devices entering our homes have implications for privacy. Not only do we bring in more spying devices into the home, often these smart objects are linked to data streams or other devices that leave the home – thereby literally taking private matters into public space. In this paper, we take the context of the...article 2017

Nieuwenhuizen, R.P.J. (author), Kruithof, M. (author), Schutte, K. (author)High resolution imagery is of crucial importance for the performance on visual recognition tasks. Super-resolution (SR) reconstruction algorithms aim to enhance the image resolution beyond the capability of the image sensor being used. Traditional SR algorithms approach this inverse problem using physical models for the image formation combined...conference paper 2017

(author)Learning individual-level causal effects from observational data, such as inferring the most effective medication for a specific patient, is a problem of growing importance for policy makers. The most important aspect of inferring causal effects from observational data is the handling of confounders, factors that affect both an intervention and...conference paper 2017

(author)Atmospheric turbulence impacts on the propagation of electro-optical radiation. Typical manifestations of optical turbulence are scintillation (intensity fluctuations), beam wander and (for laser systems) reduction of beam quality. For longer propagation channels, it is important to characterize the vertical and horizontal distribution ...conference paper 2017

de Wit, J.J.M. (author), van Rossum, W.L. (author)Through-wall radar offers capabilities that allow an important contribution to inside-building awareness, such as target detection and tracking. However, reliable radar tracking of people inside a building is not a trivial task. In monostatic operation, radar measures the backscatter from people inside a building. The backscatter of people is...conference paper 2017

(author)In the last few years, besides the concepts of embedded and interconnected systems, also the notion of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) has emerged: embedded computational collaborating devices, capable of sensing and controlling physical elements and, often, responding to humans. The continuous interaction between physical and computing layers...conference paper 2017
