Vanaf de koloniale tijd tot heden hebben grote aantallen Javanen hun woonplaats verlaten om zich in andere delen van Indonesië of veel verder weg te vestigen. Vaak was deze spreiding gedwongen, vaak met traumatische gevolgen.

Dit project onderzoekt hoe Amerikaanse ideeën over de Chinese diaspora in Zuidoost-Azië het buitenlands beleid tijdens de Koude Oorlog beïnvloedden, en laat zien hoe raciale denkbeelden strategische keuzes vormden.

Professor Dirk Vandewalle is een internationaal veelgevraagde en gerenommeerde Libië-expert. In deze lezing gaat hij in op twee essentiële vragen over de huidige situatie in Libië. Hoe komt het dat het Libische politieke systeem zo fragiel geworden is? En hoeveel hoop is er nog dat Libië als eenheid…

Hoe heeft migratie de Ierse en Italiaanse samenleving sinds 1945 beïnvloed?

Door lexicale en morfo-syntactische patronen te documenteren onder P'urhepecha-sprekers in Mexico en de Amerikaanse diaspora, zal dit project de bronnen van taalvariatie onderzoeken. De daaropvolgende online dialectatlas zal dienen als een online bron voor sprekers, leerlingen en onderzoekers van de…

N-acylethanolamines (NAEs), including N-arachidonoylethanolamine (anandamide, AEA), N-palmitoylethanolamine (PEA) and N-oleoylethanolamine (OEA), are signaling lipids that play an important role in different physiological process.

We prove a p-adic version of the work by Gross and Zagier on the differences between singular moduli by proving a set of conjectures by Giampietro and Darmon, who investigated the factorisation of a rational invariant associated to a pair of CM-points on a genus zero Shimura curve, obtained as the ratio…

Dit boek is de hoognodige herziening van ons begrip over publieke diplomatie. Het wil nieuwe manieren van denken stimuleren over wat wel een van de meest opmerkelijke recente ontwikkelingen genoemd kan worden in de diplomatieke praktijk. Een ontwikkeling die zowel mensen uit de praktijk als academici…

Enzymes are innately sensitive to changes in the amino acid sequence, which largely constrains their evolutionary potential, i.e., evolvability. This evolutionary burden can be alleviated in the presence of stabilizing mutations, which increase the buffering capacity of enzymes to tolerate mutations…

Plants and their pollinators form complex interaction networks. Within these networks, species differ widely in the number of species they interact with.

This thesis seeks to combine two different research topics; Multi-Objective Optimization and Complex Network Analysis.

Op 11 november 2021 verdedigde Evelien Campfens het proefschrift 'Cross-border Claims to Cultural Objects'. Het promotieonderzoek is begeleid door prof.dr. N.J. Schrijver en prof.dr. W.J. Veraart (VU Amsterdam).

In meta-analysis, heterogeneity often exists between studies. In such cases, it is essential to investigate the sources of heterogeneity and understand the relationship between effect size and study characteristics (i.e., moderators).

In this thesis, deep learning is studied from a statistical perspective. Convergence rates for the worst case risk bounds of neural network estimators are obtained in the classification, density estimation and linear regression model.

Transplantation of labial salivary glands to the eyelids for patients with dry eye appears to give excellent results clinically.

We investigate the buildup of galaxies from various vantage points. The first two chapters focus on the stellar content of galaxies, especially the distribution of stellar masses at birth and potential variations therein in various galactic environments.

Human civilization consumes a huge amount of fossil fuels, which has resulted in an atmospheric CO2 level which has not been higher in over 800 millennia.

The focus of the described research in this thesis is on the oxidative stress response (Nrf2 pathway). The aim of the research presented in this thesis is to obtain more information concerning microRNAs which are involved in the Nrf2 pathway, to determine and evaluate the application of microRNAs for…

Antibiotic resistance, caused by widespread use of antibiotics, leads to bacterial infections that are difficult, if not impossible, to treat and is a major worldwide health concern.

The growing demand of energy indicates that global energy resources in the form of fossil fuels will not be sufficient in the future. In order to solve potential future energy problems development of a sustainable hydrogen economy is highly desirable.

Atherosclerosis is a progressive disease resulting in the formation of an arterial plaque. Despite lipid lowering, recurrent cardiovascular events remain a risk. While atherosclerosis is primarily lipid-driven, the immune system plays a critical role in the pathophysiology.

We strive to address the challenge of constructing a modeling language to write software which can take advantage of recent hardware developments (multicore, cloud) without compromising in its abstraction levels.
