n this thesis we study curves. In the first half, we study moduli spaces of curves and Gromov-Witten invariants, certain kinds of curves counts. We employ logarithmic geometry for this.

This thesis describes the design, synthesis, and immunological evaluation of varying (neo)antigenic peptide conjugates containing either a TLR2 or a TLR7 agonist.

The aim of this thesis is to present novel techniques for proving cryptographic schemes secure against quantum adversaries. Most results are within the context of an idealized model called the ‘quantum random-oracle model’.

This thesis is about cosmological inflation and its relation to observations.

Leiden University offers a unique range of summer courses where you can broaden or deepen your knowledge or share your expertise with fellow students.

The largest structures in the Universe are clusters of galaxies. Each can contain hundreds to thousands of galaxies.

We show that Kirchhoff ’s law of conservation holds for non-commutative graph flows if and only if the graph is planar. We generalize the theory of (Euclidean) lattices to infinite dimension and consider the ring of algebraic integers as such a lattice.

In this thesis, we have used numerical approaches to study the effects of translational symmetry breaking on strange metallic systems as realised by the holographic duality⁠.

Make more fluid: In condensed matter systems, electrons can acquire unusual properties from their interaction with the atomic lattice.

In this thesis, we explore a Hochschild homology and cohomology-like notion for logarithmic schemes.

Mensen worden steeds ouder. Soms in goede gezondheid, soms zijn er uitdagingen die de kop op steken. Met onderzoek, innovatief onderwijs en co-creatie met oudere mensen werken studenten van de master Health, Ageing and Society aan oplossingen voor deze uitdagingen.

For questions and suggestions regarding the series, please contact prof. dr. Olaf van Vliet or dr. Max van Lent

Alles wat jij moet weten over de minor De middeleeuwen en vroegmoderne tijd op een rijtje.

Er zijn veel studies waarmee je kunt instromen in de master Health, Ageing and Society! Veel gezondheidsgerelateerde opleidingen zijn direct toelaatbaar, maar je bent ook welkom met een andere studieachtergrond.

Nauwkeurig emoties van anderen herkennen is een essentiële sociale vaardigheid, die relevant is voor het omgaan met de sociale wereld vanaf de kindertijd. Het vermogen van kinderen om dit te doen is een mijlpaal in hun sociaal-emotionele ontwikkeling en wordt geassocieerd met een aantal belangrijke…

Do e-waste workers display enhanced effects of adverse health effects due to informal e-waste processing in Nigeria? Is there a difference between the health outcomes of the exposed and the control groups? Are there difference in health effects within and between job groups (collectors, dismantlers,…

Het belangrijkste doel van dit onderzoek is om de steden van het Romeinse Nabije Oosten in de keizertijd in kaart te brengen, met een focus op locatie, stadsgrootte en stedelijke kenmerken, om de vorm van het stedelijke systeem en de niveaus van integratie te bestuderen.

In this thesis, rational points on K3 surfaces are studied. In the first part of Chapter 1 the Brauer group and the the Brauer-Manin obstruction are introduced.

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

Where does the urge to collect come from? What are the explicit or underlying reasons for gathering large amount of objects?

Quantum computing is an emerging technology, which holds the potential to simulate complex quantum systems beyond the reach of classical numerical methods.Despite recent formidable advancements in quantum hardware, constructing a quantum computer capable of performing useful calculations remains challenging.In…

Given the accelerating appearance of antimicrobial resistance, there is an urgent need for more fundamental research into novel antibiotic strategies. The work in this thesis helps to address this global problem by developing new antibiotic compounds, inspired by the antibacterial mechanisms of the…

Plant diversity is essential for us and our planet as it sustains the stability of our ecosystems, provides vital materials and food to us and supports many ecosystem services.

Heterogeneous catalysis is essential to many industrial applications. These catalysts are often comprised of supported nanoparticles, which contain various different surface sites.

This thesis is about the study of hydrocarbons via infrared spectroscopy.

This dissertation is about Bayesian learning from data. How can humans and computers learn from data?

This thesis describes the Multi-site All-Sky CAmeRA (MASCARA), which consists of two small robotic telescope designed to detect exoplanets around the brightest stars in the sky.

Quantum computers are a proposed fundamentally new type of computer. They aim to perform some computations much faster than previously possible by exploiting phenomena at the quantum scale, called superposition and entanglement.

Including modelling as part of software development appears to have various benefits.

Ice, the solid state of water, plays an important role on our planet as well as the entire universe.Despite the fact that an individual water molecule has a very simple structure, its chemical bonding in the solid phase can be surprisingly complex.

Op 7 december 2021 verdedigde Georgina Kuipers het proefschrift 'Beschadigd vertrouwen'. Het promotieonderzoek is begeleid door prof.mr. W. den Ouden en prof.dr. M.A. van der Steen (EUR).

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…

HEPGAME is a research project that combines the world’s fastest computer algebra system for High Energy Physics equations, FORM, with insights from artificial intelligence. The name combines High Energy Physics and Games.

Systems are called real-time systems, if the correctness of the system does not only depend on the correctness of the system output but also on whether the output is delivered on time.

Heterogeneous catalysis is one of the fundamental processes of modern life, being common in industrial refinery and hydrogen vehicles, all the way to the living cell.
