Streptomyces are filamentous bacteria that produce more than two-thirds of known antibiotics.

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.

Ramesh Ganohariti onderzoekt de juridische identiteit in drie post-Sovjet aspirant-lidstaten en schetst in dit artikel vier veelvoorkomende scenario's.

The CC chemokine receptor 2 (CCR2), a member of the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily, is widely involved in autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. However, no drugs for this receptor have made it to the pharmaceutical market yet.

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

Onder welke omstandigheden beperken paramilitaire groepen hun gebruik van politiek geweld? Dit artikel onderzoekt het gebruik hiervan door de PIRA.

Of all the mass in our Universe, 80% is thought to consist of a hypothetical and invisible substance called dark matter (DM).

In deze publicatie worden problemen met betrekking tot de grensoverschrijdende afwikkeling van financiële instellingen onderzocht.

Freshwater is an important resource, but at a great risk of species decline due to habitat loss, pollution and over-exploitation, and invasive alien species.

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…

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.

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.

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

What Determines Perceptions of Bias toward the International Criminal Court? Evidence from Kenya. In dit artikel, gepubliceerd in op de website SAGE Journals in het Journal of Conflict Resolution, onderzoeken de auteurs Geoff Dancy, Yvonne Marie Dutton, Tessa Alleblas, Eamon Aloyo de houding ten opzichte…

Dit artikel gaat in op de onderzoekskloof door te onderzoeken hoe deze instanties hun personeel zo kunnen inzetten dat ze maximale prestaties leveren met het personeel dat ze hebben.

Jan van den Berg heeft zij proefschrift op 8 november 2018 verdedigd.

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.

The stratum corneum is the outermost skin layer and consists of dead cells embedded in a lipid matrix.

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.

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

The studies described in this thesis deal with glycosidases, in particular alpha-galactosidases.

The Sun and all the stars in the night sky reside in the Milky Way galaxy. In the at-rest reference frame of the Galaxy, typical stars travel with velocities of about 100-200 kilometres per second.

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…

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…

By growing in a soil plants change the biotic and abiotic properties of the soil in which they grow.

Dit artikel levert een bijdrage aan een groeiend aantal onderzoeken naar radicalisering. Het richt zich specifiek op het onderscheid tussen individuen die radicalisering en daardoor betrokken raken bij terroristisch geweld en individuen die radicaliseren maar niet betrokken raken bij geweld.

The aim of this thesis was to study phage infection in Streptomyces, focused on cell wall-deficient cells. Bacteriophages (or phages in short) attach to the cell wall of bacteria after which they replicate and lyse the host cell.

The thesis describes experimental steps towards reduction of friction on the macroscopic scale by scenarios of thermo- and superlubricity well-known on the nanoscale.

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.

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…

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…

Nog steeds werken we zoveel mogelijk vanuit huis. Hoe vergaat het de medewerkers van het Instituut Geschiedenis? Philip Post en Maartje Janse vertellen hun ervaring.

Protoplanetary disks are the gas and dust environments where planetary systems form around young stars. Using observations from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) this thesis analyses the gaseous molecular reservoir, using multiple tracers to resolve the 3D structure of protoplanetary…
