Whole genome sequencing of measles viruses: the benefit for outbreak investigation, The Netherlands, 2013–2014NARA Subscribed
Measles is a highly contagious infectious disease and remains a major cause of global morbidity and mortality. Molecular surveillance of measles virus (MV) is used for tracing transmission chains, by, for instance, distinguishing between repeated introductions and endemic circulation. WHO guidelines used in the global measles surveillance network recommend sequencing of a 450-nucleotide region at the C-terminal end of the N-ge...
Freshwater mollusk shells serve as valuable archives for the reconstruction of past environmental conditions as they record water temperatures in their stable isotopic compositions during biomineralization. Yet, the impact of food availability on these isotopic records has never been fully explored. This study addresses that gap by investigating the effects of both temperature and food regime on the stable carbon (δ 13 C) and...
Pre-contoured Plate Fit Assessment for Acetabular FracturesNARA Subscribed
Purpose Insufficient fitting of pre-contoured plates for acetabular fractures might lead to inadequate fracture reduction, but it is unclear in which patients pre-contoured plates fit adequately. The aims of this study were to assess plate fitting in sex- and height-specific anatomical variations of the hemipelvis, and categorizing the outcomes as moderate or good fit. Methods 3D models from computed tomography (CT) scans were...

Growing Vigorous Potato Seedlings in Plug TraysNARA Subscribed
Raising vigorous and healthy potato seedlings from hybrid true potato seeds (TPS) under nursery conditions is critical for ease of field transplanting and seedling crop establishment as well as for a productive seed or ware crop. The use of plugs in seedling production systems is an important technique utilised to ease transplanting of seedlings and refine seedling production in seedling nurseries. While holding multiple advan...
The likelihood of holding outdoor skating marathons: the past, present and future of a climate-change indicator, and a way to adaptNARA Subscribed
“ Global warming is taking a heavier toll than previously thought on a grueling 200-km speedskating marathon over frozen rivers and canals linking 11 towns in northern Holland. ” This and many other headlines appeared in the national and international media in response to an article that we (Visser and Petersen) published in 2009 in Climatic Change . Here, we provide an update and extension of the 2009 publication. We calculat...
For potato, diploid hybrid breeding is a novel breeding technique that speeds up the development of new varieties. A consequence of hybrid breeding is the introduction of hybrid true potato seeds as starting material. From these seeds, seedling tubers can be produced in one field season, to use as starting material for a seed or a ware crop in the following year. For breeding purposes as well as for seed crop and ware crop pro...
Shoot Growth Parameters of Potato Seedlings are Determined by Light and Temperature ConditionsNARA Subscribed
Raising quality hybrid potato true seedlings — derived from hybrid true potato seeds (TPS) — for field transplanting is a critical aspect contributing to the success in cultivating field-transplanted hybrid potato seedling-based crops. Various critical seedling vigour attributes must be defined and enhanced to improve plant performance as well as plant response and adaptation to field conditions after field transplanting. More...
Assessing the potential of multi-use to reduce cumulative impacts in the marine environmentOA Marine
The intentional combination of two or more marine activities with the purpose of sharing space, infrastructure, resources and/or operations, referred to as multi-use, is gaining attention as a means to reduce the spatial footprint of human activities but possibly also its ecological footprint. In this study, the Spatial Cumulative Assessment of Impact Risk for Management (SCAIRM) method was adapted and applied to assess whethe...
Chung-Jansen syndrome is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by intellectual disability, behavioral problems, obesity and dysmorphic features. It is caused by pathogenic variants in the PHIP gene that encodes for the Pleckstrin homology domain-interacting protein, which is part of an epigenetic modifier protein complex. Therefore, we hypothesized that PHIP haploinsufficiency may impact genome-wide DNA methylation (DNAm...
The added value of simulated near-surface wind speed over the Alps from a km-scale multimodel ensembleNARA Subscribed
The advancement of computational resources has allowed researchers to run convection-permitting regional climate model (CPRCM) simulations. A pioneering effort promoting a multimodel ensemble of such simulations is the CORDEX Flagship Pilot Studies (FPS) on “Convective Phenomena over Europe and the Mediterranean” over an extended Alps region. In this study, the Distribution Added Value metric is used to determine the improveme...
