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.

In the current global context, there is a pressing need to address sustainable energy supplies to safeguard our Planet and its ecosystems. The choices made by human society have a significant impact on genetic evolution and climate.

Prof. Ton Liefaard en dr. Stephanie Rap (m.m.v. Apollonia Bolscher LL.M.) zijn betrokken bij het ontwikkelen van een training Toolkit en Manual voor het project Improving Juvenile Justice Systems in Europe: Training for Professionals (JUST/2013/FRC/AG).

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

Materials balances have been used in the recent past for the analysis of substance oriented environmental problems and the formulation of measures for environmental policy. In this study an integrated tool, based on the materials balance principle, has been developed for the analysis of both environmental…

Sepsis is a life-threatening condition caused by a dysregulated host response to infection, it is associated with significant morbidity, mortality, and with a high financial burden on global healthcare systems. Bacterial infections are the primary cause of sepsis, but the growing prevalence of antimicrobial…

Climate change is a challenge for both current and future generations. New biological resources have to be developed in order to meet the demand for energy as well as the demand for food.

Van hoogbegaafde kinderen wordt vaak gedacht dat zij vanzelfsprekend op de top van hun kunnen presteren. Psycholoog Bart Vogelaar ontdekte dat ook deze groep met training en uitleg op een test vooruitgang boekt. Bijzonder genoeg gaan ze daarin precies gelijk op met hun leeftijdsgenootjes. Promotie op…

This thesis addresses the problem of designing performance and energy efficient embedded streaming systems, that is, systems which process a stream of input data coming from the environment and generate a stream of output data going into the environment.

The work in this thesis demonstrates how to obtain an atomic-scale picture of a diverse set of complex surface structures observed using STM, under disparate conditions.

Promotores: Prof.dr. H. van Veen & Prof.dr. W. de Boer (Wageningen University)

This thesis focus on the interaction between M dwarf stellar winds and Galactic cosmic rays and the possible effects on the habitability of exoplanets.

Accurate prediction of the unbound drug concentration-time profile at the CNS target site is crucial for the assessment of the right drug concentration-effect relationship. PBPK models have supported the PK prediction of the CNS target sites and the translation of PK data between species and between…

This thesis described the development of novel scanning tunneling microscopy techniques to investigate strongly correlated electronic states in quantum matter.

Op 3 en 4 november 2022 organiseerde Melanie Fink een workshop voor de auteurs van de samengestelde uitgave ‘Access to Justice and the EU’s Remedies System’. Het boek zal naar verwachting begin 2024 verschijnen bij Cambridge University Press.

For centuries astronomers studied the Universe by collecting light. Nowadays, we are living in times of great technological advancements, which allow us to explore our Universe in a new way - though gravitational wave radiation.

Het verzamelen en interpreteren van grote hoeveelheden data is niet meer weg te denken uit de maatschappij en de wetenschap. De Universiteit Leiden is een kennis- en expertisecentrum van data science dat de nadruk legt op interdisciplinaire samenwerking en innovatie.

In multi/many-core System-on-Chips (SoCs), the performance is almost linearly scaling with the number of processing elements.

Astronomen willen het heelal begrijpen, van de Oerknal tot nu, en hoe dit verder zal gaan. In Leiden concentreren ze zich daarbij op twee vragen: 'Hoe ontstaan sterren en planeten? en 'Hoe ontstonden in het jonge heelal sterrenstelsels en zwarte gaten?' Een nieuwe generatie telescopen – net klaar of…

The type-IV secretion system (T4SS) is a machinery able to transfer DNA and proteins between bacteria and in certain cases also to eukaryotic cells.

This thesis describes the development and optimization of the first molecular tools to study the enzyme PLA2G4E.

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 main research question of this thesis was: Can nitrogen cycling on dairy farms on peat soil in the Dutch Green Heart area be improved by adapting management to the nitrogen supply from soil and by using other grassland species and crops without affecting milk production?

This thesis describes the Multi-site All-Sky CAmeRA (MASCARA), which consists of two small robotic telescope designed to detect exoplanets around the brightest stars in the sky.

The power of personalized nutrition lies in being able to conduct clinical research on healthy people while capturing metabolic markers sensitive to the impact of environmental and metabolic stressors (e.g. diet, changing sex hormones and the menstrual cycle).

Heterogeneous catalyzed processes are highly significant to the chemical industry. Dissociative chemisorption (DC) of molecules on surfaces is always considered as a step with a high degree of rate control for heterogeneous catalysis.

In this dissertation, matching, entropy, holes and expansions come together. The first chapter is an introduction to ergodic theory and dynamical systems.
