In het programma Time Warp brengt bioloog Freek Vonk de gevaarlijkste gifslangen ter wereld voor de camera. Zijn doel is niet het tonen alleen, maar vooral het melken van het slangengif ten behoeve van zijn promotieonderzoek. Vrijdag vertelde hij over zijn fascinatie voor slangen in 'De Wereld Draait…

Na maanden voorbereiding werd het heel spannend: zou de lucht boven Leiden op tijd opklaren voor de beloofde voorstelling van flonkerende sterren en planeten? Honderden Leidenaren gingen op 25 september op sterrenjacht. Ze werden zich meer dan ooit bewust van de effecten van lichtvervuiling.

Circumstellar discs are the reservoirs of gas and dust that surround young stars and have the potential to become planetary systems.

Our modern society thrives on chemicals, and demand is only growing with novel chemicals being introduced onto the market. However, with increasing demand, so come potentially increasing ecological consequences of these man-made chemicals.

Urbanisation is steadily increasing with estimates expecting that 68% of the global population will live in cities by 2050. To accommodate the rural to urban transition, large quantities of land are transformed from natural to urban lands.

In this Yearbook you will find some fascinating examples of what was done in 2021, not only by ourselves, but also by our international colleagues.

If mankind wants to survive into the 22nd century, we will need to change the way we live drastically. The human impact on our planet is everywhere, we are changing the atmosphere, the oceans and the land, leading to global warming, climate change, loss of biodiversity and pervasive pollution. There…

Wat is de invloed van de Internationale Verdragen ICCPR en ICESCR? Hoe kan hun toekomstige rol in de bescherming van de mensenrechten verder worden verbeterd? Dit is een kleine greep uit de vragen die worden gesteld tijdens de conferentie ter ere van de 50ste verjaardag van het ICCPR en ICESCR.

De Learning My Way-methodologie is afgelopen 10 jaar ontwikkeld en geperfectioneerd. Begonnen in experimentele vorm in het FSW Honours College, is LMW al snel door verschillende instellingen opgepakt in opleidingen en voor HRM-doeleinden.

BlaC is the β-lactamase of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. We show that it can recover from inhibition by clavulanic acid and that phosphate helps it do so.

Atherosclerosis is the most important underlying process that drives cardiovascular disease, and is characterized by an accumulation of cholesterol which triggers an inflammatory response in the vessel wall.

Learning My Way wordt gebruikt in een breed scala aan onderwijscontexten. Daarbij wordt altijd een blended learning en flipped classroom-benadering toegepast om optimale integratie van persoonlijke inzichten in dagelijks leven en gedrag mogelijk te maken.

This PhD thesis concerns the topic of arithmetic geometry. We address three different questions and each of the questions in some way is about counting how big some set is or can be.

Bij een medische behandeling geldt een aantal rechten en plichten voor u en voor de arts of specialist. U hebt bijvoorbeeld het recht uw medisch dossier in te zien. De arts moet u bijvoorbeeld informeren over behandeling en onderzoek. U en de zorgverlener zijn verplicht zich aan de regels te houden.

In this dissertation, the synthesis and characterization of a series of iron complexes based on different ligand platforms are described.

Streptomyces are multicellular, Gram-positive bacteria in the phylum of actinobacteria which produce a high amount of bioactive natural products of which the expression is tightly coordinated with the life cycle.

Materials with strongly correlated electrons show some of the most mysterious and exotic phases of quantum matter, such as unconventional superconductivity, quantum criticality and strange metal phase.

The vegetative growth period for leafy vegetables like lettuce is essential for yield and quality.

What is the effect of light at night on plant phenology and physiology, and how does this affect plant interactions with other species?

Studying the impact of urbanisation on the respiratory health of past Dutch populations (1200-1850 CE).

Seminar

In this thesis, single-cell approaches were applied to characterize the impact of aging on the immunological B cell landscape in different models of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, with the goal to identify and study new B cell-associated biomarkers and therapeutic targets to halt atherosclerosis…

The application of nanomaterials in industrial processes and consumer products provides many societal benefits, but can also lead to the release of nanomaterials into the environment. The work in this dissertation aims to provide insights into the potential environmental impacts that may follow from…

In eight chapters, the thesis of Rafaël Vos covers the effect of temperature and pressure on the electrochemical CO2 reduction.

The main focus of this thesis is the behaviour of two-dimensional materials, namely (anti)-ferromagnetic materials in the first two chapters, which show topological phases, and energetic square ice in the third and fourth chapter.

This thesis tackles the urgent challenge of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) through the design of novel antibacterial agents.

In Chapter 1 we provide some background information about modular forms, describe the correspondence between half-integral and integer weight modular forms and explain how the coefficients of half-integral weight modular forms encode the central values of L-functions of twisted modular forms.

S.S. Kolipaka’s thesis questions and investigates the survival prospects of reintroduced tigers and their offspring’s in the human dominated landscape of Panna tiger reserve in India.

A single self-assembled semiconductor quantum dot in a high-finesse optical microcavity - the subject of this thesis - is an interesting quantum-mechanical system for future quantum applications. For instance, this system allows trapping of an extra electron and thus can serve as a spin quantum memory,…

In this thesis, we used genetically engineered mouse models and a variety of cell-culture based assays to identify genes and pathways that are involved in the development and treatment of invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC).

Learning My Way is een sterk interactief programma. Het helpt je inzicht te krijgen in je eigen drijfveren, kwaliteiten en helpt je bovenal deze te verankeren in je dagelijkse professionele en persoonlijke leven.

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).

One of the most important puzzles in modern astrophysics is the nature of dark matter.
