Metal production is not only energy-intensive and a major source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, but is also associated with other impacts affecting human health and ecosystems.

Environmental challenges such as plastic pollution and biodiversity loss require extensive monitoring. Citizen science, in which members of the public participate in scientific research, has therefore become an important approach in environmental science.

Dit project gaat over hoe gebarentalen in de loop van de tijd veranderen en zich verspreiden, en hoe dit wordt beïnvloed door hun overdrachtsgeschiedenis.

The aim of this thesis is to expedite and ensure the systematic accuracy of clearance scaling from adults to paediatric patients, with a special focus on drugs undergoing hepatic metabolism.

This thesis examines strategies to address the global threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Antimicrobial resistance poses an increasing global health risk, highlighting the need for new treatments against Gram-negative pathogens.

De tweede geheel vernieuwde editie van 'The E-Primer' bespreekt hoe een breed scala experimenten kan worden geprogrammeerd in E-Prime 3. E-Prime is een van de meest gebruikte softwarepakketten voor het ontwerpen van psychologische experimenten.

In the Schouwburgstraat, LUGO is currently redesigning the back-garden in order to increase biodiversity and make it a more beautiful space. Throughout October 2023 until March 2024, we will be making changes to the garden with our team of volunteers.

Glucocorticoids (GCs) are widely prescribed as anti-inflammatory drugs due to their well-established immunosuppressive effects.

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is an important bulk chemical that is used in various industrial processes. More than 95% of the H2O2 used in industry is made via the anthraquinone process during which a large amount of energy is going to waste.

The solar system was formed approximately 4.56 billion years ago. Despite the numerous theories that have been developed over the years, the formation and evolution of the solar system still remain unclear.

The upscaling of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) data is recognized as one of the main challenges in the ex-ante LCA of emerging technologies. This challenge arises since industrial-scale system specifications for these technologies are unknown and industrial data is lacking.

The soil ecosystem consists of the largest reservoir of biodiversity on Earth.

The development process of any software has become extremely important not just in the IT industry, but in almost every business or domain of research.

A P300-based Brain Computer Interface character speller, also known as P300 speller, has been an important communication pathway, under extensive research, for people who lose motor ability, such as patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis or spinal-cord injury because a P300 speller allows human-beings…

Enkele keren per jaar organiseert het Europa Instituut een ‘Meet the Author’ bijeenkomst. In het kader van deze nieuwe lezingenreeks komen externe academici naar Leiden om te spreken over een recente publicatie. ‘Meet the Author’ bijeenkomsten vangen aan met een gesprek tussen een lid van het Europa…

Het Leiden Leadership Centre doet onderzoek naar de ontwikkeling van doeltreffend publiek leiderschap binnen en tussen organisaties. Op basis van onze onderzoeks- en ontwikkelagenda “Verder met Publiek Leiderschap” richten we ons op publiek leiderschap in verbinding met de publieke context, maatschappelijke…

Modeling and analysis of cyber-physical systems are still challenging. One reason is that cyber-physical systems involve many different parts (cyber or physical), of different nature (discrete or continuous), and in constant interaction via sensing and actuating.

Het Leiden Leadership Centre is een internationale en interdisciplinaire netwerkorganisatie. In onze aanpak brengen we mensen met verschillende achtergronden en diverse perspectieven samen

The ability to count is a property not often attributed to materials, despite the abundance of memory in materials. Regardless of how a material stores information, it is often difficult to retrieve exactly ‘what’ a material remembers.

The genetic information of all living organisms is contained in their DNA. Cells modify the degree of DNA compaction by epigenetics, which largely determines what genes are read out and which genes are transcriptionally silent.

In 2019 startte LUGO een petitie met het verzoek om een ambitieuze duurzaamheidsvisie voor 2030. Deze petitie is geformuleerd op basis van wat LUGO haalbaar achtte in plaats van op de beperkingen van nu. Wij vinden dat duurzaamheid een van de kernwaarden moet zijn van het volgende centrale beleidsplan…

Het LAK biedt fotografie voor beginners en gevorderden aan. Tijdens de fotografiecursus verken je de mogelijkheden van de camera en leer je de basisprincipes van de belichting en elementaire vormgevingsaspecten.
