In this course, we will focus on the fascinating history of the Arabic Medieval World. We will take you on a journey through the Middle Ages. All along, we will present you with historiographical debates and dilemmas and travel back and forth in time explaining to you how events of the past affected…

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.

Verken ons wonderbaarlijke universum vanuit de plaatselijke kroeg!

In dit project richten we ons op het verbeteren van de effectiviteit en efficiëntie van LM's met narratieve data.

A remarkable population of short period transiting rocky exoplanets with equilibrium temperatures on the order of 2,000 K has recently been discovered.

This dissertation consists of two parts, with the common theme

Security and safety challenges rank among the most pressing issues of modern times. Challenges such as cyber-crime, terrorism, and environmental disasters impact the lives of millions across the globe. The course will introduce you to this broad theme in an increasingly complex world.

The International Course on Water Use and Management in Cagayan Valley The Philippines (2011-2015)

The main research question of this thesis was: Can nitrogen cycling on dairy farms on peat soil in the Dutch Green Heart area be improved by adapting management to the nitrogen supply from soil and by using other grassland species and crops without affecting milk production?

This thesis investigates Open-world Continual Learning (OWCL), a learning paradigm designed for intelligent systems operating in non-stationary environments with persistent exposure to unknown data.

DNA carries various forms of information. Out of these forms of information the most well-known is classical genetic information.

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.

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.

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

In this thesis we study bistable reaction-diffusion equations on lattice domains.

This thesis investigates opinion dynamics on random graphs through the lens of the voter model, a classical interacting particle system used to describe how consensus emerges in networks.

Understanding interactions in quantum many-body systems remains one of the most profound and difficult challenges in condensed matter physics.

The dissertation describes TEM experiments on heterogeneous catalysts.

We are living in an information era where the amount of image and video data increases exponentially.

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.

This thesis describes the role of pollution, specifically neonicotinoid insecticides, as an actor of the ongoing biodiversity decline.

My PhD research is devoted to studies of the conjectural cluster-algebraic symmetry in the theory of topological string, which is the simplest, however already non-trivial sector in the theory of string.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are the most abundant class of organic compounds in space. The PAH field evolves from the constant interaction between experimentalists, theorists, modellers and observers. While laboratory research and quantum chemical calculations together set up the molecular…

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

This thesis deals with properties of Jacobians of genus two curves that cover elliptic curves.

This Thesis focuses on the design and synthesis of ADP-ribosylated compounds that can be applied in biological studies.
