Tin electrodeposition applications have rapidly evolved in the past 25 years.

This dissertation focuses on developing new mathematical and statistical methods to properly represent time-varying covariates and model them within the context of time-to-event analysis.

Radiography is an important technique to inspect objects, with applications in airports and hospitals. X-ray imaging is also essential in industry, for instance in food safety checks for the presence of foreign objects.

We developed the bitterling as a unique, well-studied model organism in the area of the evolutionary ecology of brood parasitism. The bitterling-mussel relationship, interspecific mussel host preference, and mussel gill structure are studied in detail, to help understand the developmental adaptation…

Membrane fusion is a vital process in living organisms and is mediated by zipper-like proteins.

The subject of this thesis, ‘Approach to Markov Operators on Spaces of Measures by Means of Equicontinuity’, combines an analytical and probabilistic approach to Markov operators.

Drug development is a time- and resource-consuming process that starts with the discovery and validation of a (protein) target that contributes to pathogenesis or disease progression.

Control of infectious diseases poses continuous challenges for human health.

The effective treatment of tuberculosis (TB) remains a major challenge to global health.

Deze serie benadert begrijpend lezen vanuit een cognitief perspectief. We beschrijven hoe lezers tot begrip komen. Dat wil zeggen: hoe zij coherente mentale representaties opbouwen tijdens het lezen van tekst.

The database research community has made tremendous strides in developing powerful database engines that allow for efficient analytical query processing.

The aim of this thesis is to develop and study a robust and adaptable scaffold for supramolecular polymer self-assembly in water.

This thesis develops a method for direction dependent calibration of the ionosphere in radio interferometric data.

The work in this thesis describes the fundamental role of Lkb1 as a conductor of metabolism-related processes in zebrafish larvae.

Metabolomics has the potential to play a pivotal role in understanding disease onset and progression, and ultimately personalized treatments. One of its major challenges is its large-scale implementation, which is necessary to deal with the high variability of the metabolome. In this work we have developed…
