Cancer is considered the silent pandemic of the 21st century and the second leading cause of death worldwide.

In dit artikel wordt onderzocht hoe educatieve risicocommunicatie de openbare veiligheid kan ondersteunen tijdens nucleaire noodsituaties.

This study seeks to analyse how job stress could be the result of performing administrative tasks

Streptomyces present a valuable platform for natural product discovery. Lugdunomycin is a novel angucycline-derived polyketide from Streptomyces sp QL37, with unprecedented skeleton and antimicrobial activity.

This dissertation focuses on developing new mathematical and statistical methods to properly represent time-varying covariates and model them within the context of time-to-event analysis.

In this thesis we will explore the use of fuzzy systems theory for applications in bioinformatics.

Dit proefschrift onderzoekt hoe golven zich gedragen in een imperfecte omgeving. Denk aan een golf op het wateroppervlak na een passerende boot: ook als de boot al lang weg is, blijft de golf nog een tijd zichtbaar. Maar wat gebeurt er als de golf realistische oneffenheden of verstoringen tegenkomt?

In this dissertation, we study partition-based models that can be used both for interpretable predictive modeling and for understanding data via interpretable patterns.

In this thesis, Quantum computing, norms, and polynomials, we investigate the interplay between quantum mechanics, complexity theory, and functional analysis, three central areas of physics, computer science, and mathematics, respectively.

We explored the Universe using weak gravitational lensing, a phenomenon that occurs when light from distant galaxies is bent by the gravitational fields of closer cosmic objects, much like how a lens distorts light.

Voor decennia diende een collectie van antieke Mediterrane keramiek en artefacten als onderwijsmateriaal voor studenten Archeologie aan de Leidse Faculteit der Archeologie. Nu heeft een selectie van deze objecten een nieuw publiek gevonden in het Rijksmuseum van Oudheden in Leiden, waar universitair…

A framework for prospective/ex-ante life cycle assessment (LCA) and ecological risk assessment (ERA) of emerging technologies is developed and applied to a case study of III-V/silicon photovoltaic panels.

The global agri-food system plays a critical role in food security and environmental issues.

Big Science, commonly defined as conventional science made big in three dimensions, namely organizations, machines, and politics, brings a plethora of different stakeholders together, often for a long period of time. This includes policymakers, scientists, (scientific) managers as well as local “host”…

In dit artikel bestuderen de auteurs hoe individuele variabelen en variabelen op landelijk niveau op elkaar inwerken bij het beïnvloeden van politieke genderattitudes in Europa.

Conventional food supplies procured from rural areas are increasingly vulnerable to disruptions caused by extreme weather, geopolitical instability, and logistical bottlenecks.

Calamus javensis is polymorphic. Morphometry and molecular approach resulted in all names used in the complex are regarded as synonyms of C. javensis except C. tenompokensis, which is retained as a distinct species. One variety is here recognized, C. javensis var. polyphyllus (including C. acuminatu…

The transition to electric vehicles (EVs) reduces vehicle emissions to combat climate change. EVs raise concerns regarding the production of lithium-ion batteries and related emissions; while batteries can also provide energy storage services for the electricity system.

This thesis involves three topics: benchmarking discrete optimization algorithms, empirical analyses of evolutionary computation, and automatic algorithm configuration.

Wij richten ons op natuurlijke producten van onderzoek, de traditionele geneeskunde, etnobotanie en fytochemie.

The increasing competition in the automotive industry requires the tailored, swift development of technologically sophisticated vehicles. Therefore, the computationally expensive state-of-the-art simulation technologies are combined with optimization algorithms. An example of a real-world optimization…

The LOFAR radio telescope produces petabytes of data every year. Radio Astronomers use complex multi-step pipelines to process this data and produce scientific images.

Politicologen Rebekah Tromble en Michael Meffert (Universiteit Leiden) analyseren waarom sommige media frames aanhouden, terwijl andere frames snel in de vergetelheid geraken. Zij ontwikkelen een methode die is ontleend aan event-history. De casus die Tromble en Meffert bekijken, is de verslaglegging…
