This thesis focuses on amyloid proteins, a class of proteins that convert into amyloid fibrils.

Stars and planets form within cold, dense clouds of gas and dust drifting through interstellar space. Although dust makes up only a small fraction of this material, it plays a key role in shaping the chemical evolution of these environments.

In this thesis, we present new laboratory data of interstellar dust analogues.

The origin and evolution of galaxies are closely linked to many different physical phenomena.

Om de klimaatcrisis het hoofd te bieden, kan een bepaalde nederigheid van de mens ten aanzien van de natuur van groot belang zijn. Tegelijkertijd kan nederigheid ook politieke overheersing in de hand werken. Hoe kunnen mensen zich op een bescheidener manier tot de natuur verhouden zonder hun vrijheid…

What physics controls the properties of quantum matter, such as how electrons flow inside high-temperature superconductors? This question has captivated the physics community and industry for decades, in part due to the great technological potential such materials have, but also because they have resisted…

Het WARN-project heeft als doel te begrijpen waarom sommige waarschuwingen niet effectief genoeg zijn of niet tijdig de juiste besluitvormers bereiken om een crisis af te wenden.

Jaroslaw Kantorowicz and Rok Spruk onderzoeken de bijdrage van institutionele hervormingen aan economische groei.

In this thesis, we have studied cell images from two types of cells, including pollen grains and the immune cells, neutrophils. These images are captured using a bright field microscope and a confocal microscope.

The aim of this thesis is to develop and study a robust and adaptable scaffold for supramolecular polymer self-assembly in water.

Innovation plays an essential role in firms' competitiveness and long-term success. It varies from different types, ranging from run-of-the-mill innovation that brings incremental changes to existing technologies to radical innovation that breaks from existing trajectories.

Nowadays, it is well known that hydrogen and helium (and small traces of lithium and beryllium) were created shortly after the Big Bang, while the heavier elements are created in the cores of stars at different evolutionary stages. When these stars explode as supernovae, they expel metals synthesised…

This thesis explores how electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy can be used to investigate key biochemical processes.

The origin and evolution of galaxies are closely tied to the cyclic feedback processes between stars and the interstellar medium (ISM).

Religion and ethnicity are inextricably linked in discourse within and about Central Asia. One common narrative suggests that as a result of differences between historically sedentary and nomadic populations, ethnic Tajiks and Uzbeks are naturally more religious and more likely to radicalise than their…

This thesis investigates the application of deep learning techniques in image analysis across various domains, focusing on four main themes: feature extraction, classification, segmentation, and integration, demonstrating the transformative potential of these technologies.

Op 30 september 2021 verdedigde Babette van Hazebroek haar proefschrift 'Understanding delinquent development from childhood into early adulthood in early onset offenders'. Het promotieonderzoek is begeleid door promotoren prof.dr. J.W. de Keijser en prof. dr. A. Popma (VUMC).

This thesis focuses on the role of chemokine receptors CXCR3 and CCR2 in the inflammatory process and infection control using the zebrafish model.

De auteurs presenteren een benadering voor het achterhalen van de voorkeuren van de bevolking voor gebruik in de optionele wegingstap in de Levenscyclusanalyse (LCA).

Acute cardiovascular syndromes, including myocardial infarction or stroke, are the principal cause of death in the Western society. The main underlying pathology of cardiovascular diseases is atherosclerosis, which is caused by the accumulation of lipids and inflammatory cells in the vessel wall, in…

AI MAPS richt zich op drie thema's om de belangrijkste uitdagingen op het gebied van veiligheid aan te pakken, en benadert deze door de lens van vrijheid en sociaal welzijn.

De onderzoeksprojecten binnen eLaw richten zich op baanbrekende en toekomstgerichte maatschappelijke uitdagingen op het snijvlak van recht en technologie.

Sinds de 16e eeuw hebben religieuze overwegingen de studie van het Oudengels en zijn sprekers gemotiveerd. In de 19e eeuw wendden geleerden zich vooral tot de studie van de Oudengelse literatuur om sporen te vinden van voorchristelijke, 'Germaanse' religie, zoals besproken in Eric G. Stanley's baanbrekende…
