This proposed research uses ego-documents from visual artists that were not intended for publication to reassess the scholarly debate on the demise of the Russian Avant-garde aesthetic in the twenties and early thirties of the 20th century.

Hoe worden nachtruimtes verbeeld, geproduceerd, ervaren en verteld door migrantengemeenschappen in Europa? Dit onderzoeksproject onderzoekt deze vraag in acht Europese steden: Aarhus, Amsterdam, Berlijn, Cork, Galway, Lissabon, Londen en Rotterdam.

The majority (80%) of e-waste generated globally are recycled informally in developing countries.

In 2009-2010 ontstond in het westerse discours het idee van een meer ‘assertief’ China, een opvatting die China krachtig van de hand wijst. Niettemin is, vooral sinds Xi Jinping in 2012 aan de macht kwam, duidelijk dat China zijn lang gehanteerde buitenlandse beleidsdoctrine van ‘een lage profilering…

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).

This dissertation is an experimental study of laser-generated, atmospheric pressure, transient toroidal helium plasmas.

In this thesis, we aimed to better understand the underlying mechanisms involved in TNBC progression and metastasis formation and discover new targets to reduce breast cancer related deaths.

Invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) is the second most common type of breast cancer.

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 applications of studying the early development of insects range from agriculture to material science.

Supramolecular polymers are class of materials that are formed by non-covalent interactions such as hydrogen bonding, π-π interactions, electrostatic interactions and the hydrophobic effect.

Outflows are crucially important for the gas budget and evolution of luminous star-forming galaxies and AGNs, with observed mass outflow rates of the same order as the star formation rate. Greater star formation and black hole growth lead to more intense feedback and outflows, resulting in self-regulated…

The radio sky harbours both galactic and extragalactic sources of arcminute- to degree-scale emission of various physical origins. To discover extragalactic diffuse emission in the Cosmic Web beyond galaxy clusters, one must image low–surface brightness structures amidst a sea of brighter compact fore-…

Stars and planets form within cold, dense clouds of gas and dust drifting through interstellar space. Although dust makes up only a small fraction of this material, it plays a key role in shaping the chemical evolution of these environments.

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide.

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…

I have studied the hot, diffuse gas around and between galaxies. Specifically, I have used the EAGLE numerical simulations of galaxy formation to predict the properties of this gas, and I have used those properties to predict specific observables: soft X-ray absorption and emission lines.

A key step in the synthesis of oligosaccharides and glycoconjugates is the formation of the glycosidic bond.

This thesis pioneers diatom molecular identification and quantification through genome-scale methods, with four key aims: (i) reviewing DNA/RNA sequencing methods in aquatic biomonitoring to highlight their strengths and limitations;

Why do sexual violence policies still fail to systematically address men and masculinities, when the need for cultural change among men has been central in public debates since #MeToo?

The dissertation offers new tools and insights to computation and modelling of topological phases, with an emphasis on the aperiodic setting.

Material circularity and energy efficiency are highly relevant and intertwined issues for the transition towards a carbon-neutral and circular built environment. In the Netherlands, the building sector has been rendered a priority towards a circular and low-carbon society.

Medewerkers en studenten van de Universiteit Leiden protesteren 25 november in Den Haag tegen de miljardenbezuinigingen op het hoger onderwijs. ‘Deze bezuinigingen zijn een heel slecht idee en dat willen we laten zien,’ zegt Claire Weeda van WOinActie. ‘Wetenschap en onderwijs zijn essentieel voor onze…

Within this thesis the central stage is taken by the discovery and investigation of transglycosylation of sterols. First, investigation focuses on the development of a method to accurately detect and quantify glucosylated metabolites in biological materials.

In this thesis, we used genetically engineered mouse models to identify genes and pathways that are involved in ILC formation and in the development of resistance to FGFR-targeted therapy.

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is an important bulk chemical that is used in various industrial processes. More than 95% of the H2O2 used in industry is made via the anthraquinone process during which a large amount of energy is going to waste.

Uit onderzoek van de NOS blijkt dat gokbedrijven, waaronder Holland Casino en de Nederlandse Loterij, meer invloed hadden dan verslavingsdeskundigen bij de totstandkoming van nieuwe regels over gokreclames.

Bert van Duijn is werkzaam op het gebied van planten-elektrofysiologie.

Twee onderzoekers uit de onderzoeksgroep Plant ecology and Phytochemistry van het Instituut Biologie Leiden hebben beurs gekregen van de Stichting Technologische Wetenschappen.

Twee jaar geleden trad Ingrid van Engelshoven aan als minister op OCW. 'Academische onrust is het voorlopig resultaat van het beleid van deze D66-minister, dat zich kenmerkt door een volledig gebrek aan visie op wetenschap in brede zin,' betogen Leidse hoogleraren en D66-leden Hermen Overkleeft en Sjaak…

As a virtually inexhaustible source, solar energy plays a major role in future global energy scenarios.

The thesis explores how interstellar chemistry evolves as a function of time and changing physical architectures during the formation of stars.

This thesis is an experimental study of the UV irradiation of the interstellar ice analogues, relevant for the different stages of the star and planet formation sequence.

Vandaag, 23 september, wordt Paul Hooykaas, hoogleraar moleculaire genetica in het Instituut Biologie Leiden (IBL), geïnstalleerd als Akademiehoogleraar.

Plants and their pollinators form complex interaction networks. Within these networks, species differ widely in the number of species they interact with.

De tentoonstelling Beschermde planten in de Hortus botanicus laat het belang van biodiversiteit zien aan de hand van verhalen over beschermde planten. Geert de Snoo, decaan van de faculteit der wiskunde en natuurwetenschappen en hoogleraar Conservation Biology, opende de tentoonstelling op 22 mei 2015,…
