Science begets technology but technology also begets science. Anne Urai from the Leiden Institute of Psychology is part of an international team team that rolls out a new, user-friendly, plug-and-play AI tool they hope will become an engine of discovery by quantifying the growing volume of recorded…

Doctoral Thesis

FitDis! is designed to ease the determination of binding energy and oligomeric state of coiled coil peptides. It allows direct fitting of concentration dependent thermal peptide unfolding curves measured for instance by CD–spectroscopy.

With tomography it is possible to reconstruct the interior of an object without destroying.

The Graduate School Management (GSM) module is a registration and monitoring module for you and your supervisor(s). All information is stored in a uniform way and made accessible in one place. Converis is the software behind LUCRIS.

In the article Multimodality: Reshaping Anthropology, Mark Westmoreland describes how multimodality provides anthropologists with a new perspective on how we conduct research, produce scholarship, teach students, and interact with diverse audiences.

Generally the data from remote sensing surveys - the scanning of the earth by satellite or aircraft in order to obtain information about it - is screened manually in archaeology. However, constant monitoring of the earth's surface causes a huge influx of data of high complexity and high quality. To…

Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) has become the standard for business processes diagrams.

This dissertation aims to explore how university students use mobile technology for their self-directed language learning and investigate factors influencing their self-directed learning with mobile technology.

The RISIS project aims at creating a distributed research infrastructure to support and advance science and innovation studies. This will give the field a strong scientific push forward, and at the same time, provide a radically improved evidence base for research and innovation policies, for research…
