Ice, the solid state of water, plays an important role on our planet as well as the entire universe.Despite the fact that an individual water molecule has a very simple structure, its chemical bonding in the solid phase can be surprisingly complex.

We consider the propagation of electrical signals through nerve fibres.

This thesis deals with the use of sound in interactions in the context of participatory systems and data sonification. We investigate an interactive environment where participants perceive information of the data through sound elements.

With the emergence of online social networks (OSNs), the way people create and share information has changed, which becomes faster and broader than traditional social media.

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…

Op 23 juni 2019 verdedigde Zygimantas Juska zijn proefschrift 'The Role of Collective Redress Actions to Achieve Full Compensation for Violations of European Union Competition Law'. Het promotieonderzoek is begeleid door promotor prof. dr. T.R Ottervanger.

Naar motivatie wordt al 100 jaar onderzoek verricht. En dat is niet verwonderlijk, want motivatie ligt aan de basis van ons bestaan. Waarom doen we de dingen die we doen? Waarom willen we iets, of stellen we juist uit? Maar ook in grote dingen: waarom worden we verliefd, kopen we een huis, starten we…

The energy system is at the heart of two of the greatest challenges of the 21st century: decreasing CO2 emissions to meet the ambitions of the Paris agreement while fulfilling the growing energy demand associated with the economic aspirations of a growing world population.

Modeling and analysis of cyber-physical systems are still challenging. One reason is that cyber-physical systems involve many different parts (cyber or physical), of different nature (discrete or continuous), and in constant interaction via sensing and actuating.

Over the last three decades, the discovery of exoplanets has revealed the boundless variety of worlds beyond our own Solar System⁠. Majority of planetary systems contain short-period planets that are larger than Earth but smaller than Neptune⁠.

The skin is our natural barrier and lipids are a key part of this barrier. In the outer skin layer, the stratum corneum (SC), lipids form a densely organized structure dependent on the composition of these lipids.

This thesis focuses on using liposomes in two different treatment strategies; vaccination (or immunotherapy) and delivery of a small molecule, and in two different disease models; cancer and atherosclerosis.

Hoe kunnen praktijk en theorie elkaar versterken in de neurowetenschappen? Hoogleraar Birte Forstmann spreekt in haar oratie op 2 oktober over het bouwen van interdisciplinaire bruggen tussen cognitieve neurowetenschap en cognitieve modellen. Haar aanpak kan bijdragen aan hersenonderzoek met minder…

Low-carbon (LE) technologies have a significant potential to reduce the total carbon emissions in China.

Hydrodesulfurization (HDS) is an ubiquitous part of oil refining that ensures that fuels are cleaned of impurities and environment release of pollutants such as SOx and NOx gasses are minimized.

Statistische modellen doen betere voorspellingen over toekomstig gedrag dan psychologen die gedrag louter verklaren. Daarom moeten psychologen zich meer richten op de ontwikkeling van accurate statistische voorspellingsmodellen. Dat stelt Mark de Rooij, hoogleraar Methodologie en Statistiek van Psychologisch…

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.

Veel belangrijke onderwerpen in de informatica, zoals de juistheid van software, de efficiëntie van algoritmen en de modellering van gecompliceerde systemen, zijn afhankelijk van een goede theoretische onderbouwing. In de Theoriegroep bestuderen we deze fundamentele bouwstenen en ontwikkelen we verificatiemethoden…
