Dit boek, geschreven door prof. mr. Bob Wessels (em.) en Ilya Kokorin LLM, , beschrijft en analyseert de Europese insolventieverordening (herschikt) ('EIR 2017’) die inwerking is getreden in juni 2017.

In September 2023 the new minor Sustainability, Climate Change and Food starts. This minor critically examines the complexities of food sustainability through ecological, socio-economic, political, and cultural systems.

In astronomy, the interpration of observations and measurements plays a crucial role: we rely purely and fundamentally on the information that reaches us as observers. And 80% of all matter in the universe is undetectable directly.

The demand for neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) magnets is rapidly growing, while the neodymium supply chain is under pressure. Recycling can alleviate these issues. This thesis investigates the potential for deploying novel magnet recycling technologies and their environmental consequences.

Data theory research on the analysis on the multidimensional data

Improvements of weak gravitational lensing shape measurements are presented and some used for data analysis.

Has the industrial sector in China effectively been decarbonizing in recent years, across different regions and subsectors, and is it plausible that it will reduce its CO2 emissions in conformity with national and internationally pledged emission goals?

Materials balances have been used in the recent past for the analysis of substance oriented environmental problems and the formulation of measures for environmental policy. In this study an integrated tool, based on the materials balance principle, has been developed for the analysis of both environmental…

Schaatscoach en bewegingswetenschapper Jac Orie legt al vijftien jaar alles vast over de prestaties van 'zijn' schaatsers. Dankzij datawetenschapper Arno Knobbe, die de verzamelde data op nieuwe manieren doorberekent, kan Orie zijn team nog slimmer trainen in de aanloop naar de Olympische Winterspelen…

Description of Development of a low cost technology for in-situ treatment of groundwater for potable and irrigation purposes (TiPOT) (2004 - 2007)

Review of new technical decisionsupport systems in the environmental field, and application in water management decission processes.

Veel Nederlandse schaatsers en voetballers behoren tot de absolute wereldtop. Toch kunnen ze dankzij slimme statistische analyses wellicht nóg een beetje beter worden. De Universiteit Leiden werkt er samen met Delft en Amsterdam aan.

Vast, often populated, areas in dryland ecosystems face the dangers of desertification.

The challenge of achieving fast quantification in metabolomics is the presence of severe matrix effects during the MS analysis of complex samples.

Gold nanorods are biocompatible nanoparticles that present an excellent two-photon signal that can be used to get high spatial resolution inside living cells. Gold nanorods are photostable and therefore can be followed inside cells for long time, with possible applications as trackers in live cells.

This thesis describes the functional analysis of the Arabidopsis AHL15 gene.

The skin is our natural barrier and lipids are a key part of this barrier. In the outer skin layer, the stratum corneum (SC), lipids form a densely organized structure dependent on the composition of these lipids.

The deeper understanding of an organism's pathology is important for developing treatments. Over centuries of systematic research, clinical researchers have demonstrated that the more information they acquire about the cellular properties and their organisation in the tissue, the better they can understand…

Onderzoekers van het Leiden Institute of Advanced Computer Science (LIACS) gaan een opleidingsprogramma ontwikkelen voor de volgende generatie van beginnende onderzoekers (ESR's). Gedurende een vierjarig project zullen zij worden opgeleid om industriële uitdagingen op een holistische manier te benaderen…

De Sterrewacht biedt volledige opleidingsprogramma's aan waarbij onderzoek en onderwijs met elkaar zijn verweven. Lees alles over de bacheloropleiding Sterrenkunde en de masteropleiding Astronomy in Leiden.

Woensdag 14 juli publiceerden Nederlandse astronomen een primeur in vakblad Nature. Het was hen als eersten ter wereld gelukt om isotopen te ontwaren in de damkring van een exoplaneet. Een ontdekking die ons meer kan leren over het ontstaan van planeten. Verschillende media schreven over de bijzondere…

Alastair Reed, universitair docent bij het Institute of Security and Global Affairs (ISGA), is geïnterviewd door Devex, het mediaplatform voor de wereldwijde ontwikkelingsgemeenschap.

Twee teams met taalwetenschappers deden onafhankelijk van elkaar onderzoek naar de identiteit van ‘Q’, de persoon van wie wordt verondersteld dat die de complottheorie heeft verspreid. Beide studies lijken te wijzen naar hetzelfde duo.

1) Assess the trends in supply and production status of these critical minerals and mineral products worldwide and Europe’s dependence including on intermediate products such as permanent magnets, RE based super alloys, batteries, polishing compounds, phosphors, catalysts etc. 2) Trace the entire value…
