Changes in the Isotopic Signature of Atmospheric Nitrous Oxide and Its Global Average Source During the Last Three Millennia

Prokopiou, M.; Sapart, C. J.; Rosen, J.; Sperlich, P.; Blunier, T.; Brook, E.; van de Wal, R. S.W.; Röckmann, T. (American Geophysical Union, 2018-09-27)

Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a strong greenhouse gas whose mole fraction in the atmosphere has increased over the industrial period. We present a new set of isotope measurements of N2O in air extracted from ice cores covering ...
Understanding peak avoidance commuting by subway: an empirical study in Beijing

Wang, Yacan; Ettema, Dick; Zhou, Huiyu; Sun, Xiangrui (Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2018)

Congestion is a major problem for peak-hour commuters in the Beijing subway system, as it leads to long queuing times and overcrowded vehicles. This paper explores to what extent peak travel can be reduced by providing ...
Improvement of public transport services for non-cycling travelers

Friman, Margareta; Gärling, Tommy; Ettema, Dick (Elsevier BV, 2019-07)

In this paper, we argue that the current focus on cycling must not neglect the need to improve public transport services for the large number of people who do not want to or are unable to cycle. An attractive public transport ...
Nitrate Sources, Supply, and Phytoplankton Growth in the Great Australian Bight: An Eulerian-Lagrangian Modeling Approach

Cetina-Heredia, Paulina; van Sebille, Erik; Matear, Richard J.; Roughan, Moninya (American Geophysical Union, 2018-02)

The Great Australian Bight (GAB), a coastal sea bordered by the Pacific, Southern, and Indian Oceans, sustains one of the largest fisheries in Australia but the geographical origin of nutrients that maintain its productivity ...
“I have to go the extra mile”. How fat female employees manage their stigmatized identity at work

van Amsterdam, Noortje; van Eck, Dide (Elsevier Limited, 2019-03)

This study explores how fat female employees engage in identity work to manage stigmatizing expectations grounded in healthism and obesity discourse that construct fat people as unhealthy, stupid, unprofessional, and lazy. ...
Patterns of weight loss and their determinants in a sample of adults with overweight and obesity intending to lose weight

Eykelenboom, Michelle; van Stralen, Maartje; Poelman, M.P.; Steenhuis, Ingrid (Wiley-Blackwell, 2020-04)

Weight loss success is highly variable among individuals. Cluster analysis contributes to future intervention development by recognising this individual variability and identifying different weight loss patterns. Identifying ...
A longitudinal evaluation of satisfaction with e-cycling in daily commuting in the Netherlands

de Kruijf, Joost; Ettema, Dick; Dijst, Martin (Elsevier BV, 2019-07)

This paper reports on the effects of an e-cycling stimulation program on travel satisfaction in the province of North-Brabant, the Netherlands. The program was designed to stimulate car-commuters to shift to e-bike in daily ...
Effects of estuarine mudflat formation on tidal prism and large-scale morphology in experiments

Braat, Lisanne; Leuven, Jasper R.F.W.; Lokhorst, Ivar R.; Kleinhans, Maarten G. (Wiley Online Library, 2019-02)

Human interference in estuaries has led to increasing problems of mud, such as hyper-turbidity with adverse ecological effects and siltation of navigation channels and harbours. To deal with this mud sustainably, it is ...
Assessing the accuracy of satellite derived ocean currents by comparing observed and virtual buoys in the Greater Agulhas Region

Hart-Davis, Michael G.; Backeberg, Bjӧrn C.; Halo, Issufo; van Sebille, Erik; Johannessen, Johnny A. (Elsevier, 2018-10)

In this study, we assess the accuracy of a combined geostrophic and Ekman current product (GlobCurrent) that estimates ocean currents at 15 m depth, by coupling it to a synthetic particle tracking tool and comparing the ...
The Role of the New Zealand Plateau in the Tasman Sea Circulation and Separation of the East Australian Current

Yit Sen Bull, Christopher; Kiss, Andrew E.; van Sebille, Erik; Jourdain, Nicolas C.; England, Matthew H. (American Geophysical Union, 2018-02)

The East Australian Current (EAC) plays a major role in regional climate, circulation, and ecosystems, but predicting future changes is hampered by limited understanding of the factors controlling EAC separation. While ...
Comparing safety information of biosimilars with their originators: A cross-sectional analysis of European risk management plans

Lepelaars, Leroy R.A.; Renda, Francesca; Pani, Luca; Pimpinella, Giuseppe; Leufkens, Hubert G.M.; Trifirò, Gianluca; Tafuri, Giovanni; Mantel-Teeuwisse, Aukje K.; Trotta, Francesco (NLM (Medline), 2018-04)

Background and aims: Biosimilars have been available in the European Union (EU) since 2006. However, their uptake in routine care is heterogeneous across countries. The aim of the present study was to compare the safety ...
Large-scale Production of LGR5-positive Bipotential Human Liver Stem Cells.

Schneeberger, Kerstin; Sánchez-Romero, Natalia; Ye, Shicheng; van Steenbeek, Frank G; Oosterhoff, Loes A; Pla Palacin, Iris; Chen, Chen; van Wolferen, Monique E; van Tienderen, Gilles; Lieshout, Ruby; Colemonts-Vroninks, Haaike; Schene, Imre; Hoekstra, Ruurdtje; Verstegen, Monique M A; van der Laan, Luc J W; Penning, Louis C; Fuchs, Sabine A; Clevers, Hans; De Kock, Joery; Baptista, Pedro M; Spee, Bart (John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2020-07)

The gap between patients on transplant waiting lists and available donor organs is steadily increasing. Human organoids derived from Leucine-rich repeat-containing G-protein coupled receptor 5 (LGR5)-positive adult stem ...
Disentangling link formation and dissolution in spatial networks: An Application of a Two-Mode STERGM to a Project-Based R&D Network in the German Biotechnology Industry

Broekel, Tom; Bednarz, Marcel (Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2018)

The analysis of spatial networks’ evolution has predominantly concentrated on the formation process of links. However, the evolution of networks is similarly shaped by the dissolution of links, which has thus far received ...
Effect of a mHealth intervention on adherence in adolescents with asthma: A randomized controlled trial

Kosse, Richelle C; Bouvy, Marcel L; de Vries, Tjalling W; Koster, Ellen S (W.B. Saunders Ltd, 2019-03)

BACKGROUND: Adherence rates among asthma patients are generally low and decrease during adolescence, resulting in poorly controlled asthma. The aim of our study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the ADolescent Adherence ...
Longitudinal effects of urban green space on walking and cycling: A fixed effects analysis

Hogendorf, Martyna; Oude Groeniger, Joost; Noordzij, J Mark; Beenaackers, Mariëlle A.; van Lenthe, F.J. (Elsevier, 2020-01)

Added Value of Large Ensemble Simulations for Assessing Extreme River Discharge in a 2 °C Warmer World

van der Wiel, K.; Wanders, N.; Selten, F. M.; Bierkens, M. F.P. (Wiley Online Library, 2019-02-28)

The assessment of return periods of extreme hydrological events often relies on statistical analysis using generalized extreme value (GEV) distributions. Here we compare the traditional GEV approach with a novel large ...
Citizens in the Smart City: What is Actually Happening? An In-Depth Case Study from Utrecht, the Netherlands

Tomor, Z. (IGI Global Publishing, 2020)

Subjective beliefs about trust and reciprocity activate an expected reward signal in the ventral striatum

Fairley, Kim; Vyrastekova, Jana; Weitzel, Utz; Sanfey, Alan (Frontiers Media S.A., 2019)
