This research delves into a region of space known as the interstellar medium (ISM), which is essentially the area between the stars filled with gas and dust.

Bij de Onderzoeksgroep Geweld en Geweldpreventie (Violence and Violence Prevention) wordt onderzoek gedaan naar de complexiteit van hedendaags geweld, de uiteenlopende verschijningsvormen ervan en strategieën voor preventie.

Surface acoustic waves (SAWs) are mechanical waves that travel along the surface of a material and find many applications in modern technologies due to the ease of excitation on piezoelectric substrates via interdigital transducers (IDTs).

Plant exudates appeared long time ago in the history line of life in the early Devonian. They are typical saps produced by specialized cells.

Over the last decades, aviation safety has improved strongly. As a downside, airline pilots do not have as many opportunities to develop through experience the competencies that they need in critical situations.

Solar energy is used by photosynthetic organisms to drive energy required cellular processes. Is absorbed by two groups of pigments, located in the LHCs.

The following report discusses a survey on the topic of the Sustainable Development Goals that was distributed among researchers at Leiden University in the month of November 2021.

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

This dissertation presents new cryptographic protocols, which can be divided into two families.

Plants and their pollinators form complex interaction networks. Within these networks, species differ widely in the number of species they interact with.

Until the 1990s, the only known planets were those in our Solar System. Three decades later, several thousand exoplanets have been discovered orbiting stars other than the Sun, and substantial efforts have been made to explore these strange new worlds through spectroscopic analyses of their atmosphe…

This proposed research uses ego-documents from visual artists that were not intended for publication to reassess the scholarly debate on the demise of the Russian Avant-garde aesthetic in the twenties and early thirties of the 20th century.

Low-mass main-sequence stars like our Sun are continuous sources of outflowing hot magnetised plasma. In the case of the Sun, this is known as the solar wind, whereas for other stars they are called stellar winds.

There is concern about the threat that nanoplastics (NPs) may pose to both wildlife and humans. This thesis explores the mechanisms of toxicity of polystyrene nanoparticles (PS-NPs) in chicken embryo.

Marine sponges are important members of reef ecosystems, as they play ecological roles that are essential for the health of the reef.

Glycoside hydrolases (glycosidases/GHs) are widely abundant enzymes in all kingdoms of life and are important biocatalysts that catalyze the hydrolysis of glycosidic linkages in oligo/polysaccharides, glycoproteins and glycolipids with tremendous efficiency

Science is typically a patchwork of research contributions without much coordination. Especially in clinical trials, the follow-up studies that we do fail to be the most promising.

Plants are colonized by an astounding number of microorganisms that can provide different life-support functions, including nutrient acquisition and protection against (a)biotic stresses like drought or pathogen attack.

Natural resources often stretch across borders that separate modern nation states. This can create conflict and limit opportunities for regulated consumption of their goods and services, but also provide opportunities for joint multinational efforts that exceed single country capabilities.

One of the main challenges in the development of an effective anti-cancer vaccine is the generation of an adequate and directed cellular immune response.

Streptomyces are bacteria abundant in soil that participate in diverse and complex interactions. These bacteria are the main producers of the antibiotics we currently use in the clinic.

Technologies that help to enhance our educational environments can be found everywhere.

In today's volatile market environments, companies must be able to continuously innovate. In this context, innovation does not only refer to the development of new products or business models but often also affects the entire organization, which has to transform its structures, processes, and ways of…

Human language is constantly evolving with its linguistic structure being shaped by language users at both individual and population levels. Focusing on the interplay between processes of language acquisition and communicative need in shaping human languages, this thesis introduces a novel computational…

Hoogleraar André Baranski maakt zich hard voor de kwaliteitsverbetering van orgaanuitname. Belangrijk hierbij is volgens hem dat uitnamechirurgen bij orgaantransplantaties wereldwijd gestandaardiseerd worden opgeleid en gecertificeerd. Dat zei hij in zijn oratie op 16 april.

Wat is effectief kijkgedrag voor taalleerders en hoe kunnen leerkrachten taalleerders effectief trainen om effectieve kijkstrategieën toe te passen die hun leerproces maximaliseren bij het bekijken van ondertiteld materiaal?

Nu belastingsystemen over grenzen gaan, speelt de politiek een steeds grotere rol. Irma Mosquera Valderrama pleit voor een wereldwijd, inclusief systeem.

The main objective of this thesis was to develop clinically relevant survival models for patients with high-grade soft tissue sarcoma of the extremities, in particular the development and validation of prediction models for use in clinical practice.

Nu robotica steeds vaker zijn intrede doet in de wereld van noodhulpverlening, bieden brandbestrijdingsrobots—ook wel firebots genoemd—veelbelovende mogelijkheden om de veiligheid en efficiëntie te verbeteren. Maar om technologieën te ontwikkelen die daadwerkelijk ten goede komen aan de samenleving,…

The basic program comprises a total of twelve courses organized by the Research School, that have been purpose-developed for training and support of PhD students and Research MA students who specialize in Medieval Studies (history, art history, and literary history, in particular).

PhD kandidaat Marco Romagna doet momenteel onderzoek naar hacktivisme en hacktivisten, online activisten vaardig in hacken, een relatief nieuw onderzoeksgebied. Romagna doceert aan de Haagse Hogeschool en werkt binnen het Centre of Expertise Cyber Security, dat ook verbonden is met het Leidse ISGA (Institute…

Wat als ernstig zieke patiënten hun diagnose niet willen horen? Moet een arts een patiënt altijd alle beschikbare informatie geven? Communicatieonderzoeker Liesbeth van Vliet, medisch antropoloog Annemarie Samuels en onderzoeksstagiaire Fiona Brosig stelle deze vragen over open informatievoorziening…

In meta-analysis, heterogeneity often exists between studies. In such cases, it is essential to investigate the sources of heterogeneity and understand the relationship between effect size and study characteristics (i.e., moderators).

Even though more than 4000 extra-solar planets are known today, only a small fraction of these has been captured in an image. To better understand the planet formation mechanisms in solar-like environments we started the Young Suns Exoplanet Survey (YSES).

One of the key discoveries in exoplanet research over the past decade is the abundance of small planets in our Milky Way. Despite their high numbers, our understanding of their atmospheres remains limited, and it is unknown if they possess atmospheres at all.
