The Impact of School and Family Networks on COVID-19 Infections Among Dutch Students: A Study Using Population-Level Registry Data

Javier Garcia-Bernardo, Christine Hedde-von Westernhagen, Tom Emery +1

Understanding the impact of different social interactions is key to improving epidemic models. Here, we use extensive registry data -- including PCR test results and population-lev…

Graph-Based Spatial Segmentation of Health-Related Areal Data

Vivien Goepp, Jan van de Kassteele

Smoothing is often used to improve the readability and interpretability of noisy areal data. However there are many instances where the underlying quantity is discontinuous. In thi…

A Boolean Algebra for Genetic Variants

Jonathan K. Vis, Mark A. Santcroos, Walter A. Kosters +1

Beyond identifying genetic variants, we introduce a set of Boolean relations that allows for a comprehensive classification of the relations for every pair of variants by taking al…

The importance of categorization of nanomaterials for environmental risk assessment

Willie Peijnenburg

Nanotechnology is a so-called key-emerging technology that opens a new world of technological innovation. The novelty of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) raises concern over their p…

Causality from the Point of View of Statistics

José A. Ferreira

We present a basis for studying questions of cause and effect in statistics which subsumes and reconciles the models proposed by Pearl, Robins, Rubin and others, and which, as far…

Re-infection by untreated partners of people treated for Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae: mathematical modelling study

Nicola Low, Janneke C. M. Heijne, Sereina A. Herzog +1

Objectives: Re-infection after treatment for Chlamydia trachomatis or Neisseria gonorrhoeae reduces the effect of control interventions. We explored the impact of delays in partner…

Half-Saturation Constants in Functional Responses

Christian Mulder, A. Jan Hendriks

Our aim is to provide an overview of half-saturation constants reported in literature and to explore their consistency with body size. In many ecological models, intake of nutrient…

Scaling Population Cycles of Herbivores and Carnivores

Christian Mulder, A. Jan Hendriks

Periodicity in population dynamics is a fundamental issue. In addition to current species-specific analyses, allometry facilitates understanding of limit cycles amongst different s…

Delayed Logistic and Rosenzweig - MacArthur Models with Allometric Parameter Setting Estimate Population Cycles Well

A. Jan Hendriks, Christian Mulder

Context. So far, theoretical explanations for body-size patterns in periodic population dynamics have received little attention. In particular, tuning and testing of allometric mod…

A Proper Motion for the Pulsar Wind Nebula G359.23-0.82, "the Mouse," Associated with the Energetic Radio Pulsar J1747-2958

C. A. Hales, B. M. Gaensler, S. Chatterjee +2

The "Mouse" (PWN G359.23-0.82) is a spectacular bow shock pulsar wind nebula, powered by the radio pulsar J1747-2958. The pulsar and its nebula are presumed to have a high space ve…

Cloud boundary height measurements using lidar and radar

Victor Venema, Herman Russchenberg, Arnoud Apituley +2

Using only lidar or radar an accurate cloud boundary height estimate is often not possible. The combination of lidar and radar can give a reliable cloud boundary estimate in a much…
