In this thesis, we developed new ways to use a technique called electroextraction (EE) to extract charged molecules from one liquid into another using an electric field.

If mankind wants to survive into the 22nd century, we will need to change the way we live drastically. The human impact on our planet is everywhere, we are changing the atmosphere, the oceans and the land, leading to global warming, climate change, loss of biodiversity and pervasive pollution. There…

In Sofia Express gaat Jan Paul Hinrichs op zoek naar de literaire geheimen van de Bulgaarse hoofdstad Sofia, een stad waarin detectives, spionage en andere intriges nooit ver weg zijn.

Wat zijn de gevolgen van maatschappelijke trends zoals vergrijzing, individualisering en internationalisering voor regelgeving en instituties op het terrein van sociale zekerheid, pensioenen en de arbeidsmarkt?

Voordrachten in het kader van het onderzoeksproject Zelfredzaamheid en sociale bescherming over de levenscyclus (aug. 2017 – dec. 2023).

De onderzoeksgroep Corporate Governance en Strategie onderzoekt hoe, met wie en voor wie een onderneming waarde creëert/vastlegt, met als doel de praktijk en beleidsmakers te informeren over kwesties rondom bestuur. De onderzoeksgroep focust zich op het duale karakter van de onderneming. Namelijk als…

Mensenrechten zijn lang het unieke domein van staten geweest. Dat is veranderd met de globalisering en de opkomst van multinationale ondernemingen. De zorg voor fundamentele arbeidsrechten binnen mondiale toeleveringsketens vormt een probleem.

In human cells, a meter-long DNA is condensed inside a micrometer-sized cell nucleus. Simultaneously, the genetic code must remain accessible for its replication and transcription to functional proteins.

At the moment, over 350.000 chemicals are registered worldwide for production and use. Their application, however, may harm human health and the environment.

Ferritin is a spherical metalloprotein, capable of storing and releasing iron in a controllable way. It is composed of a protein shell of about 12 nm and within its cavity, iron is stored in a mineral form.

Transplantation of labial salivary glands to the eyelids for patients with dry eye appears to give excellent results clinically.

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…

The first steps are made in personalised cancer vaccination strategies, which aim to induce a more specific immune response with fewer side effects. The activation of cytotoxic T cells is crucial for an effective immune response.

This thesis is a collection of theoretical works aiming at adjusting quantum algorithms to the hardware of quantum computers.

In this work, I explore the creation of new methods that optimize simulations of the gravitational N-body problem. Specifically, I take advantage of the recent popularity of Machine Learning methods to find tools that can suit this problem.

There are many interpretations of quantum mechanics, and ultimately experiments are needed to verify or falsify these interpretations.

The research aims to explore the evolutionary adaptability of enzymes and the impact of temperature on protein evolution pathways, using M. tuberculosis β-lactamase BlaC as the object of study. Enzymes inherently embody a delicate balance between activity and stability, and the acquisition of new enzymatic…

The function of TLRs in innate immunity has aroused worldwide attention soon after its discovery. Because of the broad functions of TLR2 in innate immunity, the drive for the development of TLR2-targeted vaccines or therapeutic treatments has accelerated in the last decades.

Principles of Environmental Sciences provides a comprehensive picture of the principles, concepts and methods that are applicable to problems originating from the interaction between the living and non-living environment and mankind. Both the analysis of such problems and the way solutions to environmental…
