Whilst government’s ability to design ‘context-specific’ regional innovation policy is generally assumed to depend on the region’s decision-making power, the aim of this study is to investigate how regional government matters. In order to open up the black box of policy design, the study develops a…

Image segmentation is a fundamental task in computer vision, with applications ranging from medical diagnostics to archaeological research.

The external tissues of plants and animals are colonized by microbial communities termed microbiota. When organisms are exposed to environmental pollutants, these substances will therefore encounter microbiota at the exposure interface.

Dit project heeft tot doel robotontwikkeling en beleidsvorming te koppelen.

Dr. Eduard Fosch-Villaronga, post-doc onderzoeker (Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action beurs) bij eLaw, heeft een boek gepubliceerd over de integratie van robotsystemen en kunstmatige intelligentie in de zorg.

This work describes the use of click-to-release chemistry to get spatiotemporal control over immunocytokine activity. Until now, immunocytokines (cytokines coupled to a tumor-targeting-moiety) remained active throughout the body, being able to bind their respective receptors, causing mild to severe…

Mycorrhizas are symbiotic associations between soil fungi and most plant species.

Wetland plants are distinguished from plants of other terrestrial ecosystems by their adaptations to specific habitat stresses, including waterlogged and flooding and the subsequent abundance of phytotoxic compounds.

GoodBrother streeft ernaar om het bewustzijn van ethische-, juridische- en privacyproblemen die verband houden met op audio en video gebaseerde monitoring te vergroten, en om privacybewuste werkoplossingen voor begeleid wonen voor te stellen.

SAFEandSOUND heeft de ambitie om de beleidscyclus te verbinden met gegevens die zijn gegenereerd in robottestzones om empirisch onderbouwde beleidsvorming voor robottechnologieën te ondersteunen.

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…
