Transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs) are DNA sequences of 6-15 base pairs. Interaction of these TFBSs with transcription factors (TFs) is largely responsible for most spatiotemporal gene expression patterns. Here, we evaluate to what extent sequence-based predicti...

AbstractWaste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) has become increasingly important over the last years. Additionally, the European Union recognizes the growing importance of raw materials, and the crucial role of recycling. In this study the performance of WEEE ...

The international CMS GEM collaboration is studying the feasibility of upgrading the CMS forward muon system by adding layers of triple GEM based detectors. After successful tests of small size tripe-GEM chambers in the period of 2010-2011, the collaboration has designe...

The purpose of this book has been to map and explain the substance of European Union (EU) democracy promotion. The adapted framework of embedded liberal democracy provided the analytical framework for the mapping exercise, whereas the four hypotheses guided the authors’...

We consider the unitary Abelian Higgs model and investigate its spectral functions at one-loop order. This analysis allows to disentangle what is physical and what is not at the level of the elementary particle propagators, in conjunction with the Nielsen identities. We...

In this paper, different methods to detect micro-cracks were compared. Their capability of detecting fatigue induced micro-cracks in metal was evaluated, as well as the possibility to apply them to detect micro-cracks induced by bending in steel plates. All methods foun...

PURPOSE: To describe how a multinational team worked together to transition a physical therapy educational program in Paramaribo, Suriname from a Bachelor level to a Master of Science in Physical Therapy (MSPT) level. The team was made up of physical therapy (PT) facult...

This doctoral dissertation aims to contribute to a more profound academic comprehension of the role of non-national lists in local politics. It is innovative in the proposed conceptual refinement of non-national lists and elaborates some analytical tools to add nuance t...

Polyploidy plays an important role in plant diversification and speciation. The ploidy level of plants is associated with morphological and biochemical characteristics, and its modification has been used as a strategy to alter the quantitative and qualitative patterns o...
