n this PhD thesis, the recombination of different atomic lattices in stacked 2D materials such as twisted bilayer graphene is studied. Using the different possibilities of Low-Energy Electron Microscopy (LEEM), the domain forming between the two atomic layers with small differences is studied.

Humans can see the world through the eyes of other humans and imagine what they know, want, and intend. This competence is known as Theory of Mind.

In this thesis, classes of strongly interacting quantum field theories, have been studied.

A novel mathematical model describes spatial-temporal drug distribution within one or more brain units, which are cubic representations of a piece of brain tissue with brain capillaries at the edges.

Kantorowicz onderzoekt hoe genderstereotypen de perceptie van leiderschapscompetentie beïnvloeden bij verschillende soorten crises.

This study seeks to analyse how job stress could be the result of performing administrative tasks

Vaak wordt gezegd dat een crisis iemands ware aard naar boven brengt. Het coronavirus stelt het multilaterale systeem op de proef. Politicoloog Gisela Hirschmann (Universiteit Leiden) maakt zich zorgen over de toekomst van internationale samenwerking.

In dit artikel onderzoeken Wout Broekema, Wouter Jong en Sara Perlstein het ontwerp en de beoordeling van crisisonderzoeken vanuit een leerperspectief.

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

Dit onderzoek presenteert een vijfstappenplan voor de ontwikkeling van een effectieve gedragsgerichte cyberveiligheidsstrategie.

In the current global context, there is a pressing need to address sustainable energy supplies to safeguard our Planet and its ecosystems. The choices made by human society have a significant impact on genetic evolution and climate.

Atherosclerosis is the most important underlying process that drives cardiovascular disease, and is characterized by an accumulation of cholesterol which triggers an inflammatory response in the vessel wall.

Pharmaceutical companies, governments and the general public have become increasingly aware that animal models used in drug testing lack vital aspects to serve as an accurate representation of human biology. As models of the human body should become more physiologically relevant, animal models no longer…

Supply risks are not new. But the aggravation of power conflicts on the international stage coupled with global shifts towards energy transition and digitalization has triggered the next supply risk research era.

Milieuwetenschapper Jan Willem Erisman is altijd bereid om toelichting te geven over alles wat met stikstof te maken heeft. Hij is vaak in de media, bij hoorzittingen en in de Tweede Kamer. Deze inspanningen leveren hem ook dit jaar weer een plek op in de FoodAgriTop 50: de lijst met meest invloedrijke…

In this thesis, we used genetically engineered mouse models and a variety of cell-culture based assays to identify genes and pathways that are involved in the development and treatment of invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC).

Understanding how galaxies form, interact, and evolve comes largely from comparing theory predictions with observational data. Numerical simulations of galaxies provide the most accurate approach to testing the theory, as they follow the non-linear evolution of gas and dark matter in great detail and…

Early time-resolved experiments by Frauenfelder on the ensemble of the kinetic rebinding of CO to myoglobin molecules resulted in a stretched exponential relaxa-tion due to a very large spread of the reaction rates of individual molecules.

Barrier function is the natural role of the skin. The lipid matrix present in the outermost layer of the skin, the stratum corneum is important for this function.

This thesis describes a study from both a theoreticaL and an experimental point of view.

Arithmetic geometry concerns the number-theoretic properties of geometric objects defined by polynomials. Mathematicians are interested in the rational solutions to these geometric objects.

Neurodegenerative diseases pose a large medical and societal challenge. The etiology of these diseases is still poorly understood, which makes drug discovery for these diseases difficult.

Food security is challenged by a growing global population and by climate change. Drought and soil salinity are considered the most important ones that inhibit crop yield and distribution. Worryingly, climate change is predicted to increase not only their frequency and severity, but also their co-occurrence,…

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

Op 29 Juni 2017 heeft Doris Dull-Zessner haar proefschrift “Value Congruence in a Multinational Corporation” verdedigd. De supervisors zijn prof.dr.mr. J.A.A. Adriaanse and prof.dr. J.I. van der Rest.

Veel docenten in het voortgezet onderwijs houden rekening met verschillen tussen leerlingen. Uit het promotieonderzoek van Saskia Stollman (ICLON) blijkt dat zij hierbij ruimte om te experimenteren en ondersteuning van de school(leiding) nodig hebben.

Wout Broekema benadrukt dat organisaties niet alleen leren van crises, maar ook vergeten, waarbij cruciale kennis en werkwijzen verloren gaan.

Individuen die werken in de publieke sector zien zichzelf geconfronteerd worden met tegenstrijdige waarden, tegenstrijdige eisen en de noodzaak van het dienen van het soms moeilijk definieerbare publieke belang.

This dissertation presents four separate chapters, all striving towards the same goal: to understand dynamic phenomena occurring in dynamic networks and to explore the emergence of equilibrium in a broad sense.

Materials with strongly correlated electrons show some of the most mysterious and exotic phases of quantum matter, such as unconventional superconductivity, quantum criticality and strange metal phase.

Food waste is a defining inefficiency of the modern food system, with profound implications for resource use, climate change, and circular economy transitions. This dissertation examines food waste through two complementary lenses: the prevention of avoidable food waste and the valorization of unavoidable…

Stars like the sun are born in large molecular clouds existing from gas and dust. During the formation process, the chemical composition of the material can be altered drastically by the changing physical conditions.
