Radiography is an important technique to inspect objects, with applications in airports and hospitals. X-ray imaging is also essential in industry, for instance in food safety checks for the presence of foreign objects.

This thesis describes the Multi-site All-Sky CAmeRA (MASCARA), which consists of two small robotic telescope designed to detect exoplanets around the brightest stars in the sky.

My PhD project studies how the temporally sequential Hox gene expression is regulated during head-tail patterning of the frog embryo.

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.

This dissertation is organised into three parts, each addressing a distinct research area related to Gibbs measures.

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.

The endophytic microbiota is a community of various microorganisms that reside in plant tissue. These microbes are known to promote plant health and resilience, and their members do not simply exist side by side.

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

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

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

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

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 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.

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…

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is among the cancers with the highest mortality rate, despite a relatively low incidence.

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.

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…

Climate change is a challenge for both current and future generations. New biological resources have to be developed in order to meet the demand for energy as well as the demand for food.

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.

Understanding how chemical complexity emerges during star formation requires connecting molecular material preserved in interstellar ices with that observed in the gas phase after protostellar heating begins.

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.

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.

Deze praktische gids informeert studenten over de taal en andere vaardigheden die nodig zijn om een presentatie in het Engels te geven. Deze bondige en toegankelijke gids is bijzonder behulpzaam voor leerders van het Engels.
