This dissertation focused on computational methods based on first principles calculations using the Density Functional Theory (DFT) framework. Emphasis was laid on affordable methods that can provide a tradeoff between computational expense and accuracy.

Exoplanets close in to their host star receive high levels of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) irradiation, capable of heating and ultimately driving the hydrodynamic escape of their atmospheres.

Drug development critically depends on preclinical models that mimic human physiology, yet traditional two-dimensional cultures and animal models often lack predictive power.

Afgelopen jaar zijn ongeveer 2000 internationale studenten gestart met een master aan de Universiteit Leiden. Om dit mogelijk te maken bestaan er verschillende beurzen waar internationale studenten aanspraak op kunnen doen. Een van die opties is de LExS-beurs: het Leiden University Excellence Scholarship…

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

On the occasion of the appearance of the monograph "Varieties of the Self.Peter Abelard and the Mental Architecture of the Paraclete" written by Babette Hellemans and published at Brill in 2023, a workshop will be organized concerning rules of observance as ‘texts of life’ in ascetic communities. The…

The findings in this thesis improve the understanding of 1) the relationship between exposure characteristics and toxicity of ENPs, 2) the joint toxic action of ENP mixtures and the comparison to metal salt mixtures, 3) how NOM affects the individual and joint toxicity of ENPs, 4) the extent of trophic…

This dissertation revolves around the design and implementation of novel instrumentation and related measurement techniques, at the single molecule level, for use in biophysical research. Chapter 1 presents an introduction to the field of fluorescence-based single molecule measurements. In particular,…

Decentralized plug and play systems for energy production are the future picture of our society. Artificial photosynthetic systems are used for this purpose.

This work is dedicated to interpreting in cohomological terms the special values of zeta functions of arithmetic schemes.

The research described in this thesis focused on identifying novel drug targets and synergistic combinations for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), a virulent subtype of breast cancer with a dismal prognosis and limited therapeutic options.

Human civilization consumes a huge amount of fossil fuels, which has resulted in an atmospheric CO2 level which has not been higher in over 800 millennia.

Surface acoustic waves (SAWs) are mechanical waves that travel along the surface of a material and find many applications in modern technologies due to the ease of excitation on piezoelectric substrates via interdigital transducers (IDTs).

Hydrogen fuel cells are expected to be pivotal in the energetic transition towards renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power. However, their industrial scalability is severely hindered by the high cost and degradation rate of platinum catalysts, one of their key components. Addressing this…

Vitamin A or retinol is essential in embryonic development, the visual cycle and the immune system.

Op 13 oktober 2021 verdedigde Ross Spence het proefschrift 'Collateral Transactions and Shadow Banking'. Het promotieonderzoek is begeleid door promotoren prof.mr. M. Haentjens en prof.dr. A.M. Pacces (UvA).

Fungal food spoilage often starts with a contamination with spores. Experimental data strongly indicate the existence of subpopulations of spores with different levels of resistance to preservation methods.

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…

Plants and soils from natural ecosystems harbor great diversity of soil microorganisms, which could potentially contribute to the sustainability of horticulture. The knowledge about using wild plant species and soil from natural ecosystem to improve the crop health will advance the application of ecological…

Het BioPartner Center Leiden heeft woensdag 2 september feestelijk het startsein gegeven voor de bouw van het nieuwe Accelerator bouwproject. Maria van der Hoeven, minister van economische zaken, verrichtte de openingshandeling door het heien van de eerste paal.

Begin 2019 publiceerde de QANU (Quality Assurance Netherlands Universities) een rapport over het Leiden University Centre for Linguistics (LUCL). Deze toetsing vindt elke 6 jaar plaats als onderdeel van de algehele monitoring en borging van de onderzoekskwaliteit in Nederland.

De samenwerkingsbereidheid van leerlingen ligt ten grondslag aan een goede relatie tussen leraar en leerling, en is positief gerelateerd aan de betrokkenheid met school van leerlingen. Het bevorderen van samenwerkingsbereidheid in plaats van tegendraads gedrag van leerlingen zou vooral nuttig kunnen…

The thesis describes terrestrial field trials aimed to detect side-effects of pesticides within the framework of pesticide registration procedures. Field trials were developed using vascular plants Brassica napus and Poa annua, caterpillars Pieris brassicae and effects on decomposition were studied…

Hoe meer we leren over een (neuro-)psychologische of lichamelijke aandoening en de hieraan gerelateerde gedragsfactoren, hoe beter we deze niet alleen kunnen signaleren, maar ook behandelen. Het is dus belangrijk dat recente inzichten over (neuro-)psychologische problemen en daaraan gerelateerde gedragsfactoren…

Als een nieuwe methode is ontwikkeld om een (neuro-)psychologische aandoening of hieraan gerelateerde gedragsfactoren te herkennen en te behandelen, kan deze nog niet direct in de klinische praktijk worden ingezet. Eerst moet de methode geëvalueerd worden, bij voorkeur in gerandomiseerde, gecontroleerde…

Before the large scale use of renewable energy sources can be implemented in our society, the storage of electrical energy needs to be tackled. Storage the energy as hydrogen via the reduction of protons is a good option.

Participants in this course will learn to support student teachers and new colleagues in their professional development as teachers, with particular emphasis on the context of bilingual or international education, as in the ICLON World Teachers Programme (WTP).
