Hoe zetten belangenorganisaties in Nederland strategisch procederen in om politieke, maatschappelijke of juridische veranderingen te realiseren, en hoe verhoudt deze strategie zich tot andere klassieke vormen van beleidsbeïnvloeding?

This thesis revolves around the electronic spectroscopy of molecules in the laboratory and the search for the carriers of the diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs).

Dit proefschrift betreft een interpretatief onderzoek naar de wijze waarop leraren hun dagelijkse leraar-leerling interacties interpreteren in termen van het belang van hun leerlingen.

In oktober werd Sophie Starrenburg gekozen tot lid van het coördinerende comité van de ESIL ‘Interest Group on the International Law of Culture’. Ze zal hierin samenwerken met Giovanni Carlo Bruno (Italian National Research Council), Andrzej Jakubowski (Polish Academy of Sciences) en Lucas Lixinski…

The main focus of this thesis is the behaviour of two-dimensional materials, namely (anti)-ferromagnetic materials in the first two chapters, which show topological phases, and energetic square ice in the third and fourth chapter.

The electrochemical oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is an essential half-reaction for the utilization of hydrogen as a sustainable fuel, via the conversion of hydrogen to electrons and protons facilitated by the ORR. In the most common fuel cells, the ORR is requires high loadings of non-abundant platinum…

In this thesis, we have studied the potential of the zebrafish larval model in studying the ECS, as a complementary model to the existing rodent models.

This collection of papers was compiled in celebration of the remarkable academic career of Professor Wil Roebroeks, who has established himself as one of Europe’s leading figures in Palaeolithic archaeology over the past three decades and founded the Human origins research group at Leiden University…

Electrons in a crystal lattice have properties that may differ from those of a free electron in vacuum.

This thesis consists of three chapters. Each chapter is on a different subject. However, all three chapters address issues that arise in counting arithmetically interesting objects.

The interest of this thesis lies in spin transport in normal metals and superconducting half-metallic junctions.

Dit was het programma van De Kennisboomgaard 2025:

In this thesis chemical and physical processes in the ice mantles on interstellar dust grains are studied.

The first direct detection of gravitational waves opened the possibility of mapping the Universe via this new and independent messenger.

An objective of this research was to achieve direct, well-defined and non-rate-limiting electron transfer between respiratory enzymes and the electrode surface by means of 'Q-wires'.

This thesis describes the antimicrobial discovery strategy developed in our group, the den Hertog Group at the Hubrecht Institute. It includes a cultivation-based screening approach for novel antimicrobial agents from the source of fungi, and a bacterial time-lapse imaging approach for antimicrobial…

This thesis studies operator-algebraic aspects of subproduct systems, a generalization of product systems of Hilbert spaces.

The thesis focuses on synthesis strategies in oligosaccharide campaigns, and the influence of protecting groups.

Reinforcement learning is a framework that enables agents to learn in a manner similar to humans, i.e. through trial and error. Ideally, we would like to train a generalist agent capable of performing multiple tasks and achieving various goals.

This dissertation is a collection of four research articles devoted to the study of Kummer theory for commutative algebraic groups.

This thesis consists of three papers that are centered around the common theme of Hausdorff uo-Lebesgue topologies and convergence structures on vector lattices and on vector lattices and vector lattice algebras of order bounded operators.

In this thesis we study products of linear error correcting codes.

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

Metabolomics is a powerful tool that can provide a comprehensive insight into the complexity of human biology and the pathophysiology of diseases. By analyzing the metabolome, which refers to the complete set of small (endogenous) molecules (with a mass <1500 Da) present within a given biological system,…

Carbohydrates, alongside proteins and nucleic acids, constitute a crucial and versatile family of biomolecules present in all life forms. They manifest as monosaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides, covalently bonded to proteins and fats. Carbohydrates are integral to plant and arthropod…

This multidisciplinary minor provides students with knowledge on how and why humans became the way they are. The minor focuses on the evolution of the species Homo sapiens from other hominin lineages and animal ancestors, and on the various factors shaping this process. Not only is human evolution of…

Antibiotic-resistant bacteria pose a major health threat. Addressing this challenge requires among others the development of new antibacterial compounds. The research described in this thesis focuses on discovering novel antibiotics from soil bacteria, specifically Streptomyces and Paenibacillus.Despite…

This dissertation is about Bayesian learning from data. How can humans and computers learn from data?

Healthy aging is one of the prime goals in today's society and atherosclerosis is among the greatest causes of morbidity in elderly. Cardiovascular disease patients receiving treatment are often of advanced aged and have an aged immune system, which limits translating experimental findings to the pa…
