Statistical distributions in LCA and converting between different representations of these distributions.

A novel mathematical model describes spatial-temporal drug distribution within one or more brain units, which are cubic representations of a piece of brain tissue with brain capillaries at the edges.

De wereldwijde ongelijkheid neemt steeds meer toe. Het is belangrijk om de oorzaken te weten zodat de toenemende ongelijkheid bestreden kan worden.

This research focuses on the distribution of chemical elements in protoplanetary disks, the birthplaces of planets. These disks form around young stars and contain gas and dust, from which planets grow. Ice plays a crucial role in planet formation, aiding the clumping of dust particles and influencing…

Security and safety challenges rank among the most pressing issues of modern times. Challenges such as cyber-crime, terrorism, and environmental disasters impact the lives of millions across the globe. The course will introduce you to this broad theme in an increasingly complex world.

The objective of this study is to better understand the distribution of microplastics in the environment. More specifically, we will quantify the abundance and distribution of microplastics on beaches.

Het thema 'Health and well-being in a healthy society' is één van de speerpunten van de Faculteit der Sociale Wetenschappen (FSW). We zetten ons in voor het bevorderen van gezondheid en welzijn voor mensen van alle leeftijden.

Wout Broekema benadrukt dat organisaties niet alleen leren van crises, maar ook vergeten, waarbij cruciale kennis en werkwijzen verloren gaan.

This dissertation presents four separate chapters, all striving towards the same goal: to understand dynamic phenomena occurring in dynamic networks and to explore the emergence of equilibrium in a broad sense.

Welke kansen en bedreigingen vloeien voort uit de institutionele en normatieve diversiteit op het terrein van de rechten van de mens voor de effectieve bescherming van die rechten in een wereld die gekenmerkt wordt door pluralisme?

Make more fluid: In condensed matter systems, electrons can acquire unusual properties from their interaction with the atomic lattice.

Sheltering is an immediate human need and determines well-being andhealth.

This thesis focuses on data found in the field of computational drug discovery. New insight can be obtained by applying machine learning in various ways and in a variety of domains. Two studies delved into the application of proteochemometrics (PCM), a machine learning technique that can be used to…

Surface acoustic waves (SAWs) are mechanical waves that travel along the surface of a material and find many applications in modern technologies due to the ease of excitation on piezoelectric substrates via interdigital transducers (IDTs).

EU Universe Awareness (EU-UNAWE), een educatief sterrenkundeproject van de Leidse Sterrewacht, heeft gloednieuw lesmateriaal ontwikkeld: Universe in a Box. Het toegankelijke lespakket is ontworpen om de moeilijke en soms abstracte concepten van sterrenkunde uit te leggen aan jonge kinderen van 4 tot…

Het project Universe Awareness (UNAWE) van de Universiteit Leiden organiseert een Kickstarter crowdfunding campagne om de lespakketten van 'Universe in a Box', een lespakket voor sterrenkunde, zoveel mogelijk te kunnen verspreiden onder kansarme gemeenschappen over de hele wereld.

Dynamical systems describe the evolution of objects in a space over time and may be used to model physical phenomena. Due to this, much research is dedicated to understanding the mathematics of dynamical systems.

Early time-resolved experiments by Frauenfelder on the ensemble of the kinetic rebinding of CO to myoglobin molecules resulted in a stretched exponential relaxa-tion due to a very large spread of the reaction rates of individual molecules.
