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.

Time-series forecasting through modelling sequences of temporally dependent observations has many industrial and scientific applications. While machine learning models have been widely used to create time-series forecasting models, creating efficient and performant time-series forecasting models is…

We have conducted a full spectral line survey of the 3-13 micron region of two massive protostars, AFGL 2591 and AFGL 2136, for the first time at high spectral resolution.

Humans and songbirds learn their vocalizations early in life by exposure to the vocalizations of adult conspecifics. Often, better learning outcomes are achieved with live, social, tutors than with audio-only exposure to vocalizations.

Biological cells, the basic building blocks of all life forms, are surrounded by a lipid membrane. More than half of the membrane is occupied by membrane proteins, which can regulate the cell functionality through specific arrangements.

In today's volatile market environments, companies must be able to continuously innovate. In this context, innovation does not only refer to the development of new products or business models but often also affects the entire organization, which has to transform its structures, processes, and ways of…

Thermodynamics is one of the founding scientific pillars that has helped us better understand heat engines, biology, ecosystems, and even black holes. While it fundamentally describes large systems by examining the bulk behavior of their constituents, it is anchored in the statistical equivalence of…

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.

In populations with a seed-bank, individuals can temporarily become dormant and refrain from reproduction until they can become active again. The repository of all dormant individuals in the population is called the seed-bank. Seed-banks are observed in many taxa, including plants, bacteria and other…

Over the last three decades, the discovery of exoplanets has revealed the boundless variety of worlds beyond our own Solar System⁠. Majority of planetary systems contain short-period planets that are larger than Earth but smaller than Neptune⁠.

In the early universe, the dynamics of the Higgs field can give rise to many interesting phenomena.

Het onderzoek van het Brain and Education Lab richt zich op de ontwikkeling van cognitieve processen die betrokken zijn bij leren en academische vaardigheden zoals begrijpend lezen, wiskunde en ruimtelijke vaardigheden. Daarbij richt het onderzoek zich specifiek op één van de meest opwindende fasen…

De sociale ontwikkeling is één van de belangrijkste domeinen van kwetsbaarheid bij Jonge kinderen met een extra X- of Y-chromosoom. Het is daardoor voor hen uitdagender om sociale signalen te signaleren in hun omgeving, die te verwerken en er gepast op te reageren.

Het REViVE-subproject richt zich op de periode waarin vrouwen overgaan van hun vruchtbare jaren naar de menopauze: de perimenopauze.
