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

This thesis pioneers diatom molecular identification and quantification through genome-scale methods, with four key aims: (i) reviewing DNA/RNA sequencing methods in aquatic biomonitoring to highlight their strengths and limitations;

In-use stocks of products can be considered as intermediaries between human needs and the physical world.

In the past decade many population studies have been performed with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) to understand the bulk properties of protoplanetary disks around young stars. These population studies mostly consisted of low mass stars, with relatively few of the disks around…

In this thesis, classes of strongly interacting quantum field theories, have been studied.

An interdisciplinary collection of the best international scholarship on Muslim youth.

This thesis focused on the exploration of monolayer graphene as a membrane in direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) applications, with improvements achieved through plasma exposure or damage- free chemical functionalization.

BlaC is the β-lactamase of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. We show that it can recover from inhibition by clavulanic acid and that phosphate helps it do so.

Given the accelerating appearance of antimicrobial resistance, there is an urgent need for more fundamental research into novel antibiotic strategies. The work in this thesis helps to address this global problem by developing new antibiotic compounds, inspired by the antibacterial mechanisms of the…

Marine sponges are important members of reef ecosystems, as they play ecological roles that are essential for the health of the reef.

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), one of the largest families of membrane proteins, are responsive to a diverse set of physiological endogenous ligands including hormones and neurotransmitters.

Food security is challenged by a growing global population and by climate change. Drought and soil salinity are considered the most important ones that inhibit crop yield and distribution. Worryingly, climate change is predicted to increase not only their frequency and severity, but also their co-occurrence,…

Synthesis and application of chemical biology tools to study immunomodulatory signaling lipids.

Streptomyces are filamentous bacteria that produce more than two-thirds of known antibiotics.

Radio jets are important to the evoultion of galaxies. However, it is still not fully understood how a radio jet can be triggered.

Trigonostemon Blume is a plant genus in the family Euphorbiaceae comprising 59 species.

Materials with strongly correlated electrons show some of the most mysterious and exotic phases of quantum matter, such as unconventional superconductivity, quantum criticality and strange metal phase.

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…

Er zijn voor jou, als kandidaat van de selectie, twee routes die je kunt bewandelen. Afhankelijk van de route (A of B) wordt naar een aantal criteria gekeken. Voor route A kandidaten tellen de 5vwo-overgangscijfers mee; voor kandidaten uit route B niet. Welke route je moet volgen en of je een toelatingsverzoek…

Pharmaceutical companies, governments and the general public have become increasingly aware that animal models used in drug testing lack vital aspects to serve as an accurate representation of human biology. As models of the human body should become more physiologically relevant, animal models no longer…

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

Dit artikel blikt vijf jaar na dato terug op de lessen van de COVID-19-pandemie. De crisis legde kwetsbaarheden bloot in zorgsystemen, bestuur en sociale samenhang.

International trade has played a major role in defining the modern global economy. Trade, however, entangles the environmental pressures of economic sectors, giving the illusion of environmental improvements, while the opposite may be occurring.

This thesis consists of two main parts. The first part (Chapters 2 and 3) deals with a class of Markov process called Quasi-Skipfree (QSF) processes.

The aim of this thesis was to study phage infection in Streptomyces, focused on cell wall-deficient cells. Bacteriophages (or phages in short) attach to the cell wall of bacteria after which they replicate and lyse the host cell.

When a star is born in our Galaxy, it is quite likely that it has formed within a massive cluster, which hosts numerous high-mass stars bathing their lower mass neighbours in UV radiation.

Deze minor biedt een overzicht van het vakgebied Psychologie.

This dissertation contains four works during my PhD. Different biomaterials have been designed based on coiled-coil peptides. These biomaterials have a range of applications, inclusing drug delivery, cell sorting to cell-cell fusion.

The Vallesian, 11.1-9 Ma, was a special time in the Vallès-Penedes basin near Barcelona, where a biodiversity hotspot existed. Europe had a subtropical climate, with rhinos, forest giraffes, lions, hyenas, flying squirrels and primates.
