Who are open-source intelligence activists and how reliable are their contributions to public understanding of Russia’s war in Ukraine?

It has now been well established that shocks and turbulent motions in the intra-cluster medium (ICM) generated through cluster mergers can produce large-scale synchrotron emission.

Our recent excavations have focused on the more recent New Kingdom/Late Period (ca. 1500-332 BCE) material.

Protoplanetary disks are the gas and dust environments where planetary systems form around young stars. Using observations from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) this thesis analyses the gaseous molecular reservoir, using multiple tracers to resolve the 3D structure of protoplanetary…

Barrier function is the natural role of the skin. The lipid matrix present in the outermost layer of the skin, the stratum corneum is important for this function.

In this dissertation, the synthesis and characterization of a series of iron complexes based on different ligand platforms are described.

Solar energy harnessed by plants and algae has great potential to be converted into biofuels for future generations.

We zullen menselijke skeletresten bestuderen die zijn samengesteld bij de Faculteit Archeologie door ze te micro-CT-scannen in LUMC-faciliteiten. Met gedetailleerde micro-CT-scans kunnen we de botkwaliteit in het vroegmoderne Nederland (1650-1850) onderzoeken en die vergelijken met de botkwaliteit van…

Op 9 april 2019 verdedigde Yudan Tan haar proefschrift 'The Rome Statute as Evidence of Customary International Law'. Het promotieonderzoek is begeleid door promotor prof. dr. W.A. Schabas.

In this thesis we study the landscape of gravitational models which modify GR by introducing an additional scalar degree of freedom (d.o.f.) to source Cosmic Acceleration.

How can we bridge the gap between experts and the general public?

This dissertation investigates the energy and material related impacts of the transition towards a low-carbon heating system in the Netherlands, in the context of its 2050 climate and circular economy policy goals.

In dit artikel vatten Kristin Makszin en Achim Kemmerling bewijs samen over hoe het VK en de VS leren van het Chileense pensioenmodel, maar beide landen slagen er niet in krediet toe te kennen of de lessen te vervormen.

Galaxy intrinsic alignments induce a major astrophysical contamination to weak gravitational lensing measurements and need to be modelled and mitigated when extracting cosmological information from such measurements.

On the largest scale, the Universe resembles a cosmic spiderweb. Most galaxies coexist in small groups within the threads of this web. At the nodes of the threads are enormous groups of galaxies forming the largest structures in the universe still held together by gravity: clusters of galaxies.

This thesis describes the antimicrobial discovery strategy developed in our group, the den Hertog Group at the Hubrecht Institute. It includes a cultivation-based screening approach for novel antimicrobial agents from the source of fungi, and a bacterial time-lapse imaging approach for antimicrobial…

Kinase inhibitors are key therapeutic agents, particularly in oncology, yet their clinical efficacy is often hampered by off-target effects and limited understanding of their cellular target profiles.

Acute cardiovascular clinical events such as myocardial infarction and cerebral stroke represent the major cause of death in Western societies. These pathologies are primarily resulting from atherosclerosis, a progressive condition characterized by the accumulation of lipids, immune cells, and fibrous…

The studies described in this thesis deal with glycosidases, in particular alpha-galactosidases.

Studying the impact of urbanisation on the respiratory health of past Dutch populations (1200-1850 CE).

The Vallesian, 11.1-9 Ma, was a special time in the Vallès-Penedes basin near Barcelona, where a biodiversity hotspot existed. Europe had a subtropical climate, with rhinos, forest giraffes, lions, hyenas, flying squirrels and primates.

Het onderwerp van deze studie is het portfolio dat wordt gebruikt bij een lerarenopleiding als instrument om bij docenten in opleiding reflectie op hun ontwikkeling als docent te stimuleren.

Dit proefschrift beschrijft de ontwikkeling van een beoordelingsprocedure voor docenten, toegespitst op beginnende eerstegraads docenten Engels.

Dit artikel analyseert de transnationaliteit van terroristische organisaties, waaronder fondsenwerving, communicatie, alliantievorming en doelselectie.

Atherosclerosis is the most important underlying process that drives cardiovascular disease, and is characterized by an accumulation of cholesterol which triggers an inflammatory response in the vessel wall.

With increasing carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere and their detrimental effect on the global climate, modern society needs to push for more renewable energy sources. Storing widely accessible and abundant solar energy in chemical bonds in the form of molecular fuel via artificial photosynthesis…
