Streptomyces are prolific producers of enzymes and secondary metabolites, including more than 50% of all clinical antibiotics. This makes them highly attractive for medical, biotechnological, and industrial purposes.

Majorana fermions in superconductors are the subgap quasiparticle excitations that are their own antiparticles.

Shape and biological function are tightly connected. Physical descriptions are used to connect the shape of a biological system with its function.

In this thesis we explore machine and deep learning approaches that address keychallenges in high dimensional problem areas and also in improving accuracy in wellknown problems. In high dimensional contexts, we have focused on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations.

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.

With the advent of multicore processors and data centers, computer hardware has become increasingly parallel, allowing one to run multiple pieces of software at the same time on different machines. Coordination of these pieces is best expressed in a coordination language as an explicit interaction protocol…

ELS@Leiden onderzoek omvat een breed scala aan empirisch-juridische projecten die worden uitgevoerd op Leiden Law School, vanuit het perspectief van meerdere disciplines en methodes. Hier kan je de publicaties van onze (voormalige) lab members vinden sinds het begin van het Sector Plan.

In this thesis, we focus on novel proteins/mechanisms that regulate integrin-adhesion mediated mechano-transduction.

We showed that constitutive and inducible chemical and morphological defenses against Western flower thrips differ between tomato and chrysanthemum plants.

This thesis focuses on amyloid proteins, a class of proteins that convert into amyloid fibrils.

The main topic of this PhD thesis is the Arakelov ray class group of a number field, an algebraic object that contains both the ideal class group structure and the unit group structure.

Neuraminidases are enzymes that cleave glycosidic linkages of sialic acid. These enzymes are involved in influenza infections as well as in many cellular processes in mammals and micro-organisms.

Wetlands provide many ecosystem goods and services which include fish production. The sustainability of small-scale fisheries (SSF) has received considerable attention in recent years because fish is one of the major sources of animal protein to a considerable fraction of the global population which…

Op donderdag 16 november 2017 is Thomas Leclerc gepromoveerd op zijn proefschrift ‘A Corrective Approach to Reduce Aircraft Greenhouse Gas Emissions. Contribution to the Study of Interactions between Legal Orders of International Law’. Zijn promotoren zijn prof.dr. P.M.J. Mendes De Leon en prof. L.…

This book focuses on transnationalism as a key concept to evaluate how Europe responds to cross-border security challenges.

Met de master Recht & Bedrijfskunde is er een breed scala aan carrièremogelijkheden. Door het civiel effect is er ook de mogelijkheid om togaberoepen uit te oefenen. Dus of je nu een carrière in het bedrijfsleven wilt of als jurist, deze master biedt de perfecte basis.

Empirical Legal Studies heeft een methodologische en een substantieve component. In het empirisch bestuderen van het recht gebruiken onze onderzoeksprojecten kwantitatieve en/of kwalitatieve methoden, waarbij ze focussen op het snijpunt van recht en gedrag. We zijn geïnteresseerd in de interactie tussen…

In deep reinforcement learning, searching and learning techniques are two important components. They can be used independently and in combination to deal with different problems in AI, and have achieved impressive results in game playing and robotics. These results have inspired research into artificial…

This thesis aims to enhance our understanding of galaxies by testing theoretical models of galaxy formation against observations, particularly in the cases of extreme systems which have been found to have an excess of baryonic mass in their central regions, in the form of either supermassive black holes…

In his dissertation Michiel Hooykaas outlines the results of six empirical research projects focused at biodiversity awareness in the Netherlands, specifically people’s knowledge about animals.
