This thesis deals with the use of sound in interactions in the context of participatory systems and data sonification. We investigate an interactive environment where participants perceive information of the data through sound elements.

Sinds haar oprichting is Universiteit Leiden de thuisbasis van geleerden met een brede en diverse expertise in de geschiedenis, talen, literatuur en materiële culturen die relevant zijn voor de studie van Joden en het Jodendom vanaf de oudheid tot de moderne tijd.

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is the substrate used for the introduction of the ubiquitous and highly dynamic PTM in which either one or multiple adenosine diphosphate ribose (ADPr) moieties are covalently attached to a nucleophilic side chain of an specific amino acid in the target protein…

The extensive use of electronic communication channels and other devices has opened new possibilities for collecting data on human behavior. This information is sometimes openly accessible, but largely part of administrative registration systems that are not open to the broader public. The data provides…

Leidse alumni komen op zeer diverse plekken terecht. De verhalen van onze alumni verzamelen we en publiceren we regelmatig in onze alumni nieuwsbrief en alumnimagazine Leidraad. Op deze pagina zijn al deze interviews terug te vinden. Ze brengen mooi in beeld hoe het Leidse alumni na hun afstuderen is…

In this dissertation non-parametric Bayesian methods are used in the application of robotic vision.

In this special edition of Information Polity there is a focus on the transparency challenges of using algorithms in government in decision-making procedures at the macro-, meso-, and micro-levels.

Maandag jl. werden de Speckmann-prijzen uitgereikt voor het beste Bachelor leeronderzoeksverslag en de beste masterscriptie geschreven in het studiejaar 2011-2012.

Na vele jaren was het dan eindelijk zover. Het Leidse pleitteam (bestaande uit Anne van der Meeren, Heleen Kleinjans, Dries van de Voort, Sophie Vonk en Remco de Lijster en begeleiders Femke Binnendijk en Rogier Kegge) heeft de jaarlijkse pleitwedstrijd van de Vereniging voor Bestuursrecht (VAR) gew…

The Sun and all the stars in the night sky reside in the Milky Way galaxy. In the at-rest reference frame of the Galaxy, typical stars travel with velocities of about 100-200 kilometres per second.

In the traditional theory of linear elasticity, superposition dictates that the response of a material does not depend on the sequence of the applied mechanical actuations.

Protoplanetary disks are the gas and dust environments where planetary systems form around young stars. Using observations from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) this thesis analyses the gaseous molecular reservoir, using multiple tracers to resolve the 3D structure of protoplanetary…

Dissochaeta Blume (Melastomataceae, tribe Dissochaeteae) is well-known as a scrambling plant genus found in Southeast Asia, where it is an inhabitant of the tropical rainforests or evergreen forests.

Endocannabinoids are lipid messengers that modulate various physiological functions by activating the cannabinoid CB1 and CB2 receptors. While the metabolism of endocannabinoids and their action at the CB receptors is fairly well studied, the molecular mechanisms governing their release and transport…
