Let A be a commutative algebraic group over a field K, and let G be a finitely generated subgroup of the K-rational points of A. The purpose of this thesis is to study the degrees of the Kummer extensions relative to A,K and G.

The role of material production as a driver of environmental impacts is increasing, which calls for a better understanding of global material flows. This thesis explores the role of in-use stocks of products, buildings and infrastructure as a key driver of global material demand and discusses the implications…

In this thesis we use Josephson and noise scanning tunneling microscopy for the study of conventional, unconventional (iron-based) and disordered superconductors. On the one hand, Josephson scanning tunneling microscopy allows us to directly visualize the superfluid density with high spatial resolut…

This thesis focuses on the synthesis, characterization and performance towards CO2 electroreduction of mono and bi-metallic particles based on p-block metals

Artificial photosynthesis has recognised potential to produce green and sustainable fuels from earth-abundant resources such as water, carbon dioxide (CO2), and sunlight.

This thesis aims to investigate the effect of tripartite interaction between microbial inoculants, the plant, and herbivore insects on the rhizosphere microbiome and volatilome. We investigated the rhizosphere microbiome and volatilome of tomato plants exposed to insect herbivory and/or inoculated with…

De multidisciplinaire minor De (on)rechtvaardige samenleving onderzoekt sociale rechtvaardigheid in Nederland. Je kijkt vanuit verschillende invalshoeken naar thema’s als armoede, discriminatie, woningnood, klimaat en migratie. Door praktijkgerichte opdrachten en reflectie op je eigen rol in de samenleving,…

Ter gelegenheid van zijn eerste lustrum zal het Hazelhoff Centre for Financial Law op 11 mei 2017 een lustrumcongres organiseren met als thema ‘Public and private regulation of financial markets’.

“Temminck’s Order” is the scientific biography of Coenraad Jacob Temminck (1778–1850), a Dutch naturalist and the first director of ’s Rijks Museum van Natuurlijke Historie in Leiden.

The lipids in the uppermost layer of the skin, the stratum corneum (SC), play an important role in the skin barrier function. The three main SC lipid classes are ceramides (CER), cholesterol and free fatty acids.

In astronomy, the interpration of observations and measurements plays a crucial role: we rely purely and fundamentally on the information that reaches us as observers. And 80% of all matter in the universe is undetectable directly.

Green hydrogen is produced via a process called water electrolysis. During electrolysis water is split into oxygen and hydrogen.

In some condensed matter systems, such as the surface of a 3D topological insulator, the electrons are effectively massless and we must necessarily use the massless Dirac equation to describe them.

Matthias Haentjens en Ross Spence namen deel aan een congres en PhD-workshop in Warschau op 16 en 17 november 2018.

Anthropogenic noise has been shown to affect marine animals in various ways, this may have fitness consequences at individual and population level. This thesis aims to increase insight into the quantification of sound-induced behavioural responses that are relevant to fitness, and into factors that…

Het Leiden Advocacy Project on Plastic (LAPP) is een pro bono initiatief aangaande juridische vraagstukken omtrent plastic. LAPP is opgericht om het toenemende probleem van plasticvervuiling aan te pakken en onderzoek te doen naar juridische kwesties gerelateerd hieraan. Studenten werken hierbij als…

Wanneer een fysisch systeem symmetrieën bezit gaan deze vaak gepaard met een representatie van de symmetriegroep op een Hilbertruimte. Groepsrepresentaties op Hilbertruimten zijn intensief onderzocht.

Like a mixture of oil and water, lipid membranes separate into two liquid phases.

The research presented in this thesis makes use of small molecules (as H2 , D2 and O2 ) on well-defined single crystal surfaces (flat Pt(111), flat Cu(211) and curved Pt(111)) to elucidate the role of surface structure and degrees of freedom in the reactant in specific surface reactions.

The aim of this thesis was to develop aluminium salt-based nanoparticles that may ultimately be used as adjuvant in human vaccines.

Dissociative chemisorption is an important reaction step in many catalytic reactions.

This thesis describes how complex and real-world relevant analytical solutions can be found starting from a simple Nagumo problem posed on one or two-dimensional lattices.

Deze week werd het handboek voor grensoverschrijdende bankenresolutie “Research Handbook on Cross-border Bank resolution” gepubliceerd.

The studies in this thesis are focused on the physical effects in the flat band materials. The results contain the discovery of strong enhancement of RKKY spin-spin interactions with specific geometric arrangement and dynamical generation of excitonic order parameter with high magnitude.

In unconventional high temperature superconductors, supercurrent vortices are known to spoil the Landau levels. In this thesis the emergence of Landau levels is studied in different types of superconductors: Weyl superconductors, and the Fu-Kane heterostructure.

To meet the rising demand for minerals driven by the global shift to clean energy technologies, ensuring responsible and resilient supply chains is critical. Minerals like cobalt, lithium, and nickel for batteries, neodymium and zinc for wind turbines, and indium for solar panels are essential.

In eight chapters, the thesis of Rafaël Vos covers the effect of temperature and pressure on the electrochemical CO2 reduction.

Politicologen Tom Louwerse, Simon Otjes en Cynthia van Vonno introduceren hun Dutch Parliamentary Behaviour Dataset, waarin zij het stemgedrag in de Tweede Kamer sinds 1945 beschikbaar maken voor onderzoek.

How did colonial law work to turn people into property? This project argues that colonial ideas about households and domestic authority were critical to legal processes of enslavement in the early modern Dutch empire. Using colonial court records from Dutch Brazil, Suriname, and the Moluccas, the project…

This project explores themes at the intersection of maritime history and environmental history by looking at the problems Dutch ships encountered in the different climates of the Atlantic and Indian Ocean worlds, and the solutions they could provide.

Niels van Willigen (Instituut Politieke Wetenschap, Universiteit Leiden) plaatst de Nederlandse deelname aan VN vredesmissies in een historische context. Hij bekijkt de redenen voor een afname van de Nederlandse inbreng na 1990 en verkent de obstakels en mogelijkheden voor een ‘Nederlandse terugkeer’…
