Carbohydrates, or sugars, are the most diverse and most abundant biomolecules known. However, the isolation of carbohydrate samples in sufficient amounts and purity is often impractical or even impossible, so the chemical synthesis of glycosides becomes relevant. The glycosylation reaction, in which…

The zebrafish is a promising vertebrate model organism in early drug discovery and development.

Onderzoek naar representatieve bureaucratie heeft vaak de positieve prestatie-effecten bevestigd van bureaucratieën die de demografische kenmerken van hun cliënten weerspiegelen. Er is echter weinig bekend over de onderliggende mechanismen op individueel niveau die tot deze resultaten leiden.

Commerciële bedrijven die gebruik willen maken van de expertise en faciliteiten worden doorverwezen naar LAB , de commerciële eenheid die verantwoordelijk is voor gespecialiseerd laboratoriumwerk.

This thesis is largely an experimental study on the formation of solid-state simple and complex organic molecules in the H2O-rich and CO-rich ice phases of dense interstellar clouds and dark cores.

Hoe verschillen talen in het gebruik van toonhoogte om woorden en zinnen betekenis te geven, en hoe beïnvloedt dit de herkenning van woorden en interpretatie?

Dissolution processes – next to aggregation processes - play an important role for fate prediction and environmental risk assessment of metal-based nanoparticles (MNPs). It is challenging to predict the kinetics of the dissolution process of MNPs in complex systems such as we can find in in vivo and…

The overall theme of this thesis is to complement the electrochemical data acquired in fuel cell research with in situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS).

This thesis describes a study from both a theoreticaL and an experimental point of view.

Cathodic corrosion is a relatively unknown phenomenon that can severely etch metallic electrodes at cathodic (negative) potentials.

Epithelial-mesenchymal plasticity (EMP) and tumor cell migration play an important role in cancer progression, and an improved understanding of the mechanisms underlying these concepts is essential for developing new targeted approaches.

The way organisms develop from the initial single-cellular state to a complex final assembly like the human body, and how the final body is maintained throughout life, is one of the greatest mysteries and it’s understanding one of the biggest scientific challenges.

This thesis described the development of novel scanning tunneling microscopy techniques to investigate strongly correlated electronic states in quantum matter.

Quantitative biology means exploiting mathematical modelling and computer simulation as a tool to gain additional insights into the meaning of experimental data. Discover in this minor when and how to apply these tools, in a multidisciplinary setting.

Als mensen met elkaar praten wisselen sprekers elkaar soepel af, met gemiddeld zeer korte tussenliggende pauzes. Gesprekspartners moeten daarom steeds vooruit plannen wat ze willen zeggen en wanneer ze de beurt kunnen overnemen. Spraakmelodie speelt hier hoogstwaarschijnlijk een rol bij, maar onduidelijk…

Kidney transplantation is a major advance of modern medicine. This course will give you state of the art updates about what used to be an experimental, risky, and very limited treatment option more than 50 years ago and is now routinely performed in many countries worldwide.
