When a star gets too close to a supermassive black hole, it is torn apart by strong tidal forces in a tidal disruption event (TDE).

Patients share valuable advice and experiences with their peers in online patient discussion groups.

The intracluster medium (ICM) is a hot, tenuous and X-ray emitting gas that pervades galaxy clusters.

Patterned detectors are an existing technology that can be found in almost all color cameras.

The work presented in this thesis is based on ALMA surveys of protoplanetary disks in three star-forming regions: Lupus, OMC-2, and NGC 2024.

Wat kan Nederland leren van Zuid-Korea? Die vraag beantwoordt hoogleraar Remco Breuker in zijn nieuwe boek ‘De Koreaanse golf’. In NPO 1-podcast De Nacht van vertelt hij meer over zijn boek en Zuid-Korea.

De professionele geschiedbeoefening en de populaire geschiedenis staan niet los van elkaar, integendeel: ze beïnvloeden elkaar. Dat is het uitgangspunt van het nieuwe, peer reviewed tijdschrift ‘Korean Histories’ waarvan onlangs het eerste nummer online ging.

Natural history collections provide invaluable sources for researchers with different disciplinary backgrounds, aspiring to study the geographical distribution of flora and fauna across the globe as well as other evolutionary processes.

For optimization problems, it is often unclear how to choose the most appropriate optimization algorithm. As such, rigorous benchmarking practices are critical to ensure we can gain as much insight into the strengths and weaknesses of these types of algorithms.

Galaxies form and live inside dark matter haloes. As a consequence, they are exposed to the tidal fields generated by the surrounding matter distribution: this imprints a preferential direction to the galaxy shapes, which leads to a coherent alignment on physically close galaxies, called intrinsic a…

Met muziek, films en series verovert Zuid-Korea de wereld. Opvallend is het engagement dat regelmatig doorklinkt in deze culturele uitingen. In OneWorld legt hoogleraar Remco Breuker uit waar dit vandaan komt.

In dit artikel presenteren Josien de Klerk en anderen vijf webposts die zijn geschreven door studenten van het Leiden University College in samenwerking met Ububele Early Childhood Community Practitioners (ECCP), in Alexandra, een township in Zuid-Afrika.

Het archeologisch erfgoed van Zuid-Amerika wordt in toenemende mate bedreigd door de uitbreiding van landbouwactiviteiten, de uitbreiding van infrastructuur, illegale houtkap en de huidige bosbranden die het Amazonegebied en andere gebieden van het continent teisteren.

In dit artikel vatten Kristin Makszin en Achim Kemmerling bewijs samen over hoe het VK en de VS leren van het Chileense pensioenmodel, maar beide landen slagen er niet in krediet toe te kennen of de lessen te vervormen.

Een interdisciplinaire culturele analyse van de manier waarop de Hindoestaanse dubbele migratie hedendaagse identificatieprocessen beïnvloedt en de juxtapositie van traditie en moderniteit problematiseert.

In dit artikel onderzoeken Wout Broekema, Wouter Jong en Sara Perlstein het ontwerp en de beoordeling van crisisonderzoeken vanuit een leerperspectief.

Hydrocarbonylation of alkenes with carboxylic acids in synthesis of carboxylic acid anhydrides is relatively less explored. We herein present a study and optimization of a palladium-catalyzed hydrocarbonylation reaction of alkenes using carboxylic acids as the nucleophile, by which acid anhydrides can…

The marine shipping industry is one of the strongest emitters of nitrogen oxides (NOx), a pollutant detrimental to ecology and human health. Over the last 20 years, the pollution produced by power plants, the industry sector, and cars has been decreasing.

Stars like the sun are born in large molecular clouds existing from gas and dust. During the formation process, the chemical composition of the material can be altered drastically by the changing physical conditions.

Almost three years after receiving her honorary doctorate, Dr Graça Machel returned to Leiden University. Over the course of two days she spoke with students, researchers, and other interested persons, about human rights – particularly those of women and children – in a world in which these are continually…

The class-imbalance problem is a challenging classification task and is frequently encountered in real-world applications. Various techniques have been developed to improve the imbalanced classification performance theoretically and practically.

In this thesis, we study different curved single crystals because of the diversity of surface structures across their curvature.

Carbohydrates are present on the surface of bacteria making them suitable antigen candidates for vaccine development. This thesis deals with the synthesis of two carbohydrate-based components; the capsular polisaccharide of S. aureus type 5 and teichoic acids from staphilococci and enterococci speci…

In our research protein translocation from Agrobacterium into yeast and plant cells is studied to obtain fundamental insights in the translocation process

Wat doe je als je iets te weten wilt komen? Tegenwoordig gebruikt men voornamelijk het internet om informatie te verkrijgen.

Large areas of space are filled by molecular clouds that consist of gas and dust grains that are the remnants of dead stars. When these clouds start collapsing, the decreasing temperature and increasing density cause gas particles to start accreting onto dust grain surfaces.

The aim of this thesis is to expedite and ensure the systematic accuracy of clearance scaling from adults to paediatric patients, with a special focus on drugs undergoing hepatic metabolism.

In this course, you will explore the organs involved in our food digestion and discover the common causes of abdominal and pelvic pain. The latest graphics and animations will give you new insights and understandings of this part of the body.
