The Situation of Women of a Refugee and Immigrant Background in the Netherlands [PDF]
Studia Europejskie, 2021 The problem of discrimination and unequal treatment of women from culturally diverse backgrounds affects countries such as the Netherlands. The centuries of tolerance and openness to an “alien” seem to be ending.

Journal of Hematology & Oncology, 2020 Oncological care was largely derailed due to the reprioritisation of health care services to handle the initial surge of COVID-19 patients adequately. Cancer screening programmes were no exception in this reprioritisation. They were temporarily halted in

A Review of X-ray Microcalorimeters Based on Superconducting Transition Edge Sensors for Astrophysics and Particle Physics [PDF]
Appl. Sci. 2021, 11, 3793, 2022 The state-of-the-art technology of X-ray microcalorimeters based on superconducting transition edge sensors (TESs), for applications in astrophysics and particle physics, is reviewed. We will show the advance in understanding the detector physics and describe the recent breakthroughs in the TES design that are opening the way towards the fabrication ...

Choreographic Programming of Isolated Transactions [PDF]
EPTCS 378, 2023, pp. 49-60, 2023 Implementing distributed systems is hard; choreographic programming aims to make it easier. In this paper, we present the design of a new choreographic programming language that supports isolated transactions among overlapping sets of processes. The first idea is to track for every variable which processes are permitted to use it. The second idea is to

Optimising personal continuity: a survey of GPs’ and older patients’ views
BJGP Open, 2023 Background: Personal continuity — having a GP who knows their patients and keeps track of them — is an important dimension of continuity of care and is associated with lower mortality rates, higher quality of life, and reduced healthcare costs. In recent

The Climatological Renewable Energy Deviation Index (CREDI) [PDF]
, 2023 We propose an index to quantify and analyse the impact of climatological variability on the energy system at different timescales. We define the Climatological Renewable Energy Deviation Index (CREDI) as the cumulative anomaly of a renewable resource with respect to its climate over a specific time period of interest.

Plasma Propulsion of a Metallic Micro-droplet and its Deformation upon Laser Impact [PDF]
Phys. Rev. Applied 6, 014018 (2016), 2016 The propulsion of a liquid indium-tin micro-droplet by nanosecond-pulse laser impact is experimentally investigated. We capture the physics of the droplet propulsion in a scaling law that accurately describes the plasma-imparted momentum transfer, enabling the optimization of the laser-droplet coupling.

Runtime Verification of Learning Properties for Reinforcement Learning Algorithms [PDF]
EPTCS 395, 2023, pp. 205-219, 2023 Reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms interact with their environment in a trial-and-error fashion. Such interactions can be expensive, inefficient, and timely when learning on a physical system rather than in a simulation. This work develops new runtime verification techniques to predict when the learning phase has not met or will not meet ...

Factors modulating 99mTc‐MAA planar lung dosimetry for 90Y radioembolization
Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 23, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Purpose To investigate the accuracy and biases of predicted lung shunt fraction (LSF) and lung dose (LD) calculations via 99mTc‐macro‐aggregated albumin (99mTc‐MAA) planar imaging for treatment planning of 90Y‐microsphere radioembolization.
