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.

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

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…

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…

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.

Empirical Legal Studies in Leiden focust op het bouwen van een interdisciplinaire gemeenschap van rechtsgeleerden en sociale wetenschappers die samen juridische vraagstukken onderzoeken op het snijpunt van recht en gedrag, waarbij diverse soorten methoden worden gebruikt.

In human cells, a meter-long DNA is condensed inside a micrometer-sized cell nucleus. Simultaneously, the genetic code must remain accessible for its replication and transcription to functional proteins.

Visualizing the internal structure is a crucial step in acquiring knowledge about the origin, state, and composition of cultural heritage artifacts. Among the most powerful techniques for exposing the interior of cultural heritage objects is computed tomography (CT), a technique that computationally…

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.

Op 16 december 2021 verdedigde Lisanne van Houten het proefschrift 'Flexing the Slot Regime'. Het promotieonderzoek is begeleid door prof.dr. P. Mendes de Leon en prof. L. Pierallini (Luiss University Of Rome).

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.

Biological cells, the basic building blocks of all life forms, are surrounded by a lipid membrane. More than half of the membrane is occupied by membrane proteins, which can regulate the cell functionality through specific arrangements.

The investigation into the bidirectional communication between the gut and its host is a rapidly growing area of research, attracting considerable attention for its potential to provide crucial insights into health and disease.

In this thesis, we have studied the potential of the zebrafish larval model in studying the ECS, as a complementary model to the existing rodent models.

Pulsars were first discovered in 1967 and since then the population has grown and expanded over several wavelengths.

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.

Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) has become the standard for business processes diagrams.
