Wat maakte het vroege islamitische rijk zo succesvol en hebben we het verhaal gemist door cruciaal bewijs te negeren? De Arabische veroveringen in de 7e eeuw veranderden de sociaal-politieke configuraties in het Middellandse Zeegebied en Eurazië voorgoed. Toch weten we niet echt hoe de Arabieren erin…

The work described in this Thesis is focused on the assembly of oligosaccharide fragments derived from a fungal polysaccharide, galactosaminogalactan (GAG) and fragments of the exopolysaccharide Pel, generated by Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

This thesis examines silicon pore optics (SPO), a technology that exploits silicon wafers from the semiconductor industry to create extremely high quality X-ray optics, by studying its manufacturing process, applications, and prospects.

Migration imposes special pressures on the meaning, experience and organization of lifecycle rituals. These pressures are felt most strongly by Muslim migrants to Western Europe. In this innovative study, Nathal M. Dessing examines the effects of migration on the life cycle rituals of Moroccan, Turkish…

With the emergence of online social networks (OSNs), the way people create and share information has changed, which becomes faster and broader than traditional social media.

This thesis consists of two subjects, that are both a consequence of radiation pressure.

This project uses archaeological, literary and epigraphic evidence to investigate urban development in Roman-period North Africa, compiling this in a GIS-linked database in order to analyse the development of urban settlement spatially over time.

Bij het Beleg van Leiden, in 1574, stierf een derde van de bevolking. Nog jaarlijks herdenkt de stad het einde van deze belegering met hutspot, haring en wittebrood. En Leiden staat niet alleen: steden zijn al duizenden jaren het toneel van strijd.

Een interdisciplinaire blik op omgaan met onzekerheid

De Griekse papyrologie is de wetenschap die zich bezighoudt met het ontcijferen en bestuderen van alle teksten die in de Griekse taal op papyrus geschreven staan. Papyrus was het schrijfmateriaal van de oudheid en werd vervaardigd uit op elkaar gekleefde reepjes van de papyrusplant.

This thesis is largely an experimental study on the formation of solid-state simple and complex organic molecules in the H2O-rich and CO-rich ice phases of dense interstellar clouds and dark cores.

This thesis examines the impacts and challenges of water use of electric power system. This thesis found that there are large differences in water use of electricity technologies, with hydropower and thermal power being two large water users.

In this Thesis, novel charge induction mechanisms of ionic liquids are treated, tested and experimented on complex oxides, in particular cuprates.

The focus of this thesis is on the technical methods which help promote the movement towards Trustworthy AI, specifically within the Inspectorate of the Netherlands.

In this thesis we investigated the ability of two-photon multifocal microscopy for single-molecule microscopy in live cells and organisms.

Light-Harvesting Complex II (LHCII) is responsible for light absorption and excitation energy transfer in plants and photosynthetic algae, while in high light it undergoes conformational changes by which it quenches excitations to prevent photodamage.

Over the past years it has been discovered that the population of extra-solar planets is large and diverse.

Metabolomics is a powerful tool that can provide a comprehensive insight into the complexity of human biology and the pathophysiology of diseases. By analyzing the metabolome, which refers to the complete set of small (endogenous) molecules (with a mass <1500 Da) present within a given biological system,…

The main goal of this thesis is to achieve advanced control of binding properties in bis-pyrrolic and macrocyclic pyrrolic receptors by light.

The aim of this thesis is to explore the use of Bioorthogonal Antigens to study the cross-presentation pathway.

The thesis is about the study of shell evolution of the Hydrocenidae of the genus Georissa. This thesis started with a general overview on the evolutionary process of animals due to ecological changes.

The database research community has made tremendous strides in developing powerful database engines that allow for efficient analytical query processing.

My PhD research is devoted to studies of the conjectural cluster-algebraic symmetry in the theory of topological string, which is the simplest, however already non-trivial sector in the theory of string.

The work in this thesis has been focused on two subjects. The first is the assembly of alginate oligosaccharides and the generation of building blocks for the enzymatic synthesis of alginate, and the second is the total synthesis of large fragments of the zwitterionic SP1 polysaccharide.
