Enzymes are innately sensitive to changes in the amino acid sequence, which largely constrains their evolutionary potential, i.e., evolvability. This evolutionary burden can be alleviated in the presence of stabilizing mutations, which increase the buffering capacity of enzymes to tolerate mutations…

The PID-directed shift in PIN polarity has been broadly accepted as one of the essential mechanisms for the regulation of auxin transport polarity.

Vinasse is a major by-product generated by the sugarcane biofuel industry. It is a source of microbes, nutrients and organic matter and often it is recycled as fertilizer.

This dissertation presents the results of the importance of creativity for ICT-students of Dutch universities of applied sciences (in Dutch: hogescholen), and the functioning of training courses that aim to promote creative abilities is highlighted.

Optimization tasks in practice have multifaceted challenges as they are often black box, subject to multiple equality and inequality constraints and expensive to evaluate.

This thesis seeks to combine two different research topics; Multi-Objective Optimization and Complex Network Analysis.

Inflammatory skin diseases such as psoriasis and atopic dermatitis can severely impact both the physical and social aspect of a patient’s life. Aberrant inflammatory responses are thought to be a major causative factor in these disorders, but an abundance of different factors contribute to the development…

Due to their central physiological roles in living organisms, retaining beta-glycosidases have been the subject of tremendous research efforts to examine their structure/function relation using numerous biophysical and biochemical approaches.

How can ecosystem services within river catchments be quantified in spatial and temporal explicit way?

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,…

De onderzoekers van het departement ‘World Archaeology’ van de Faculteit Archeologie richten zich in hun onderzoek op verschillende periodes en regio’s: van de oorsprong van de mens tot aan de Middeleeuwen en de moderne tijd, en van Azië tot Zuid-Amerika.

De psychologen Fenna Poletiek en Erik de Kwaadsteniet krijgen van vakbond FNV een subsidie om te onderzoeken hoe mensen zich gaan gedragen ten opzichte van werk als ze een basisinkomen krijgen. Hoe gaan ze op zoek naar een antwoord?

This thesis systematically analyzes the physical-chemistry of lipid-graphene interactions with the major objective of reconciliating the variety of results reported in the literature.

Aangezien jeuk en pijn zeer belastend kunnen zijn, vooral wanneer mensen chronisch aan (een van) deze symptomen lijden, is het belangrijk te weten door welke factoren deze gewaarwordingen worden beïnvloed. Het wordt steeds duidelijker dat psychologische factoren een belangrijke rol spelen bij het ervaren…

Triplet superconductivity refers to a condensate of equal-spin Cooper pairs (pairs of electrons with equal spin).

The studies in this thesis are focused on the physical effects in the flat band materials. The results contain the discovery of strong enhancement of RKKY spin-spin interactions with specific geometric arrangement and dynamical generation of excitonic order parameter with high magnitude.

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’.

Biological polymers, including proteins and the genome, undergo folding processes crucial for their proper functioning. Even slight changes in the folding structure of these biopolymers can have significant implications, leading to the development of various pathological conditions, such as neurodegenerative…
