Withstanding the cold: energy feedback in simulations of galaxies that include a cold interstellar medium
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…

Revealing the nature of new low-frequency radio source populations
It has now been well established that shocks and turbulent motions in the intra-cluster medium (ICM) generated through cluster mergers can produce large-scale synchrotron emission.

Synthetic, Physical and Computational Chemistry of Propeller-shaped Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons
This thesis systematically studies the physicochemical properties of non-planar, propeller-shaped, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. The synthesis of several so-called propellerenes is described on a gram scale, using optimized procedures aimed at using less hazardous reagents and reducing the amount…

Studies on the Pathogenesis of Chronic Kidney Disease
In this thesis, two potential therapeutic targets for diabetic nephropathy were dentified and investigated. First, we show that glomerular clusterin is upregulated in diabetic nephropathy and demonstrated that recombinant clusterin protein can protect the podocytes against oxidative stress in vitro.…

Atlas van het brein
Onderzoekers werken al eeuwen aan een atlas van het brein. Maar zelfs in 2017 zijn sommige hersenstructuren nog niet in kaart gebracht, met name in de hersenstam. In dit paper hebben we de test-hertest betrouwbaarheid gemeten van de enige MRI-scan die onderzoekers in staat stelt om de locus ceruleus,…
