Integrins play an essential role in multicellular life by connecting cells to the extracellular matrix.

The experiences of ethnic ‘Other’ females have – until recently – been widely overlooked in the study of sport. There continues to be a need to produce critical scholarship about ethnic 'Other' girls and women in sport and physical culture, in order to represent their complex, multifarious and dynamic…

The parabolic Anderson model (PAM), which is the Cauchy problem for the heat equation with random potential. The PAM is a mathematical model that describes how mass (i.e. matter or energy) flows in a medium in the presence of a field of sources and sinks.

This thesis is about cosmological inflation and its relation to observations.

CMLCA is a software tool that supports the technical steps of the Life Cycle Assessment. The focus of the program is on advanced computational aspects of life cycle inventory calculations.

This thesis focuses on two processes involved in fighting infections: metabolism and immune cell motility and navigation.

In this thesis, we have studied cell images from two types of cells, including pollen grains and the immune cells, neutrophils. These images are captured using a bright field microscope and a confocal microscope.

Data Science (DS) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are omni-present and have the potential to be incorporated in various fields. However, in order to live up to this expectation, a good understanding of the techniques, their implications and limitations is required. In this minor you develop insights…

Het voorgestelde project evalueert hoe de kwetsbaarheid van migrantenmannen en -vrouwen werd geconstrueerd in politieke, publieke en mediadiscoursen, en hoe verschillen in de geconstrueerde kwetsbaarheid van invloed waren op de beslissing om te migreren, het migratieproces en het daaropvolgende vest…

Wetlands provide many ecosystem goods and services which include fish production. The sustainability of small-scale fisheries (SSF) has received considerable attention in recent years because fish is one of the major sources of animal protein to a considerable fraction of the global population which…

Wereldwijd zijn er ruim 7000 talen; meer dan de helft van de wereldbevolking is meertalig. Maar hoe gebruiken al die mensen hun taal? En op welke vlakken verschillende deze taken van elkaar? Onder het motto ‘Interconnecting linguistic diversity’ zijn de onderzoekers van het Leiden University Centre…

Gedeelde identiteit, de vorming van onze jeugd en toekomst, ontwikkeling van wetenschap en techniek: over zulke gevoelige onderwerpen gaat het in het onderzoek naar 100 jaar Ministerie van Onderwijs, Cultuur en Wetenschap (OCW).

We verwelkomen gastwetenschappers wier onderzoek aansluit bij onze uiteenlopende expertisegebieden. De tekst gaat verder in het Engels.

Hybrid zones occur where two species meet and produce offspring (hybrids). Typically, hybrids show a considerable reduction in fitness. In this thesis two hybrid zones are treated.

Met ons onderzoek en onderwijs dragen we bij aan een betere wereld. We mengen ons in het wetenschappelijke en publieke debat, en zoeken antwoorden voor economische en maatschappelijke vraagstukken. Zowel lokaal en regionaal als mondiaal.

To contribute to the body of knowledge aiming at a better coverage of ecosystem service assessment in LCA studies, this thesis dives into the challenges of incorporating existing ecosystem service methods within the impact assessment phase of the conventional LCA framework.

The theoretical explanation of cosmic acceleration is nowadays one of the biggest puzzles in cosmology.

Scattering of light in the presence of nano-structured materials, i.e. with features in the order of the wavelength of the light or smaller, reveals details of how light interacts with matter at the nanoscale.

The expedition commanded by Nicolas Baudin to Tenerife, Mauritius, Australia, Timor and South Africa in 1800-1804 is fully researched in regard to ornithology.

Vinasse is a major by-product generated by the sugarcane biofuel industry. It is a source of microbes, nutrients and organic matter and often it is recycled as fertilizer.

This work describes the use of click-to-release chemistry to get spatiotemporal control over immunocytokine activity. Until now, immunocytokines (cytokines coupled to a tumor-targeting-moiety) remained active throughout the body, being able to bind their respective receptors, causing mild to severe…
