The mission of our group is understanding how science communication works to improve the interaction between science and society. We believe better science communication can improve our society and engage many different groups with science, also improving science.

Impliciet of expliciet, we hebben allemaal ideeën over hoe de wet zou moeten functioneren, wiens belangen zij zou moeten vertegenwoordigen en welke rol zij in de samenleving zou moeten spelen. Dit project verkent de manieren waarop deze vragen worden behandeld in de werken van de Romeinse historicus…

Synthetic microswimmers take an important place within the interdisciplinary field of active soft matter.

Multi-objective evolutionary computation aims to find high quality (Pareto optimal) solutions that represent the trade-off between multiple objectives.

Circumstellar discs are the reservoirs of gas and dust that surround young stars and have the potential to become planetary systems.

Breeding for resistance becomes more and more important because we want to reduce the use of pesticides. A fast and cheap alternative can be to make use of morphological or chemical markers.

We have examined sequences from the ligand-binding domain of the nicotinic acetyl choline receptor (nAChR) in 148 vertebrate species. We are in interested in this receptor because the α-neurotoxins of many venomous snakes binds to this receptor in its location at the neuromuscular junction in all ve…

In this dissertation non-parametric Bayesian methods are used in the application of robotic vision.

A recent study on reintroduced tigers in Panna Tiger Reserve in India reveals that risks from tigers increased more because of human behaviour and people's livestock husbandry practices.

Het belangrijkste doel van dit onderzoek is om de steden van het Romeinse Nabije Oosten in de keizertijd in kaart te brengen, met een focus op locatie, stadsgrootte en stedelijke kenmerken, om de vorm van het stedelijke systeem en de niveaus van integratie te bestuderen.

Did the Jochids leave their mark on the Grand Duchy, taking into account that the Lithuanian state was one of the main successor states of the Great Horde in the 16thCentury?
