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…

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

Het recht van de Europese Unie beïnvloedt direct en indirect de reikwijdte van strafrechtelijke aansprakelijkheid in Nederland. Die beïnvloeding heeft betekenis voor het materieelrechtelijk legaliteitsbeginsel.

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.

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).

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?

Stellar feedback is a crucial ingredient in the evolution of galaxies.

De onderzoeksgroep Digital Archaeology beheert twee computerlaboratoria voor verschillende doeleinden: een onderwijslab en een onderzoekslab.

In this work, I explore the creation of new methods that optimize simulations of the gravitational N-body problem. Specifically, I take advantage of the recent popularity of Machine Learning methods to find tools that can suit this problem.

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.

One of the effects of climate change is the phenomenon of desertification, a process that occurs in semi-arid and arid areas and causes land degradation as well as vegetation loss. Due to the lack of resources, vegetation self-organizes to sustain itself by forming large-scale spatial patterns.

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

Vast, often populated, areas in dryland ecosystems face the dangers of desertification.

We consider the propagation of electrical signals through nerve fibres.

Overlevingsanalyse is een onderzoeksgebied dat zich richt op het bestuderen van de tijd tot het optreden van een specifieke uitkomst.

Welke consumentengroepen hebben de grootste impact op de volksgezondheid en de planeet door hun voedingskeuzes, en hoe kunnen we deze inzichten gebruiken om de transitie naar duurzame eetpatronen te versnellen?

Actinobacteria are Gram-positive bacteria that have a complex multicellular life cycle and are well known for their ability to produce a wide range of bioactive natural products (NPs).

This thesis focuses on addressing four research problems in designing embedded streaming systems.

In human cells, a meter-long DNA is condensed inside a micrometer-sized cell nucleus. Simultaneously, the genetic code must remain accessible for its replication and transcription to functional proteins.

The sequence-dependence of biomolecular interactions involving nucleic acids and proteins is essential for numerous processes inside the cell. Insights into the underlying molecular mechanisms have been obtained using various biochemical and biophysical methods on two different levels — bulk and sin…

Real-life processes are characterized by dynamics involving time. Examples are walking, sleeping, disease progress in medical treatment, and events in a workflow.

Plants, are sessile organisms, have developed strategies to adapt to changes in their environment, in part by altering their growth and development.

We are living in an information era where the amount of image and video data increases exponentially.

Metals surfaces form a group of effective catalysts for the reaction of small molecules such as hydrogen (H2).
