This thesis combines field and laboratory studies to address some of the most pressing questions in the field of microplastic research.

Nature uses a special class of histone proteins, histone variants, to modulate the properties of chromatin at defined genomic locations.

Transport inspectorates are looking for novel methods to identify dangerous behavior, ultimately to reduce risks associated to the movements of people and goods. We explore a data-driven approach to arrive at smart inspections of vehicles.

This thesis concerns the relation bettween the good reduction of Shimura varieties and the associated loop groups.

In this work the reconstruction of a tau neutrino signal in the KM3NeT detector is discussed.

De Swahilikust kent een lange geschiedenis van transoceanische islamitische verbindingen die teruggaat tot de 25e eeuw. Toch heeft de boekdrukkunst de wereld veranderd; niet alleen de onze. In dit project worden unieke vormen en archieven van intellectuele geschiedenis ontrafeld die vanuit Zuid-Zuid-verbindingen…

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.

This thesis mainly focuses on multimodal understanding and Visual Question Answering (VQA) via deep learning methods. For technical contributions, this thesis first focuses on improving multimodal fusion schemes via multi-stage vision-language interactions.

One of the major limitations in culturing complex tissues or organs is the lack of vascularization in the cultured tissue. Development of a functional capillary bed could overcome this problem.

The work in this thesis demonstrates how to obtain an atomic-scale picture of a diverse set of complex surface structures observed using STM, under disparate conditions.

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.

Bacteria are highly complex and diverse organisms that have adapted to survive in ecological niches ranging from the most extreme to the most heterogeneous environments.

The research described in this Thesis was aimed at designing and synthesizing nature-inspired compounds as part of TB vaccine discovery.

This thesis focuses on the design and synthesis of activity-based probes and inhibitors targeting enzymes involved in the degradation of specific plant glycans.

This thesis describes how complex and real-world relevant analytical solutions can be found starting from a simple Nagumo problem posed on one or two-dimensional lattices.

This thesis is about cosmological inflation and its relation to observations.

This thesis studies operator-algebraic aspects of subproduct systems, a generalization of product systems of Hilbert spaces.

CT scanning of skeletal remains can tell us about how strong or weak a persons bones were and we can relate that back to diet, activity, and reproductive factors.

This thesis consists of three papers that are centered around the common theme of Hausdorff uo-Lebesgue topologies and convergence structures on vector lattices and on vector lattices and vector lattice algebras of order bounded operators.

This dissertation aims to advance understanding of amoeboid single cell migration under the influence of changing physicochemical environmental properties. The particular focus is on the relatively unknown influence of differing physical properties in the extracellular environment, such as the migratory…

Photocatalysis has emerged as a powerful tool for enabling challenging transformations in organic synthesis. This thesis explores the development of several photocatalytic reactions designed to form carbon-heteroatom bonds from less-functionalized precursors.

Dit project stelt het idee van een liberale Amerikaanse wereldorde ter discussie. Het onderzoekt hoe illiberale denkbeelden het buitenlands beleid van de VS vormden en wat dat betekent voor internationale politiek vandaag.

Kleding van westerse merken in Nederlandse winkels wordt onder andere gemaakt door Noord-Koreaanse arbeiders. Daarnaast financiert de Nederlandse staat mede de aanleg van een snelweg in Pakistan waar arbeidskrachten worden uitgebuit. Dat concludeert het LeidenAsiaCentre dat op 2 april een rapport hierover…
