Healthy aging is one of the prime goals in today's society and atherosclerosis is among the greatest causes of morbidity in elderly. Cardiovascular disease patients receiving treatment are often of advanced aged and have an aged immune system, which limits translating experimental findings to the pa…

Galaxy intrinsic alignments induce a major astrophysical contamination to weak gravitational lensing measurements and need to be modelled and mitigated when extracting cosmological information from such measurements.

Natural resources often stretch across borders that separate modern nation states. This can create conflict and limit opportunities for regulated consumption of their goods and services, but also provide opportunities for joint multinational efforts that exceed single country capabilities.

Hydrodesulfurization (HDS) is an ubiquitous part of oil refining that ensures that fuels are cleaned of impurities and environment release of pollutants such as SOx and NOx gasses are minimized.

In this thesis, we have studied the potential of the zebrafish larval model in studying the ECS, as a complementary model to the existing rodent models.

SDN (Software-Defined Networking) represents a revolutionary approach to network architecture that enables the dynamic and flexible management of network resources through software-based control. This dissertation introduces the idea of SDN and its southbound protocol OpenFlow, then presents the formal…

Carbohydrates, or sugars, are the most diverse and most abundant biomolecules known. However, the isolation of carbohydrate samples in sufficient amounts and purity is often impractical or even impossible, so the chemical synthesis of glycosides becomes relevant. The glycosylation reaction, in which…

This thesis focuses on protoplanetary disks: flattened structures of gas and dust around young stars in which planets are expected to form and grow.

This thesis describes the use of a combined approach of computational and experimental techniques to gain novel insights to understand the glycosylation reaction and its reactive intermediates.

The development of new environmentally sound technologies is seen as a key route towards achieving sustainability.

Science is typically a patchwork of research contributions without much coordination. Especially in clinical trials, the follow-up studies that we do fail to be the most promising.

It is a common technique in global optimization with expensive black-box functions to learn a surrogate-model of the response function from past evaluations and use it to decide on the location of future evaluations.

This collection of papers was compiled in celebration of the remarkable academic career of Professor Wil Roebroeks, who has established himself as one of Europe’s leading figures in Palaeolithic archaeology over the past three decades and founded the Human origins research group at Leiden University…

Leidse wetenschappers gaan een bijdrage leveren aan de ontwikkeling van een camera voor de in aanbouw zijnde European Extremely Large Telescope. Op 28 september tekende de Nederlandse Onderzoekschool voor Astronomie een samenwerkingsovereenkomst met de European Southern Observatory.

Het WARN-project heeft als doel te begrijpen waarom sommige waarschuwingen niet effectief genoeg zijn of niet tijdig de juiste besluitvormers bereiken om een crisis af te wenden.

De huisvesting van de Faculteit Geesteswetenschappen is aan vernieuwing toe. De gebouwen waar onderwijs wordt gegeven en onderzoek wordt gedaan, zijn flink verouderd en verre van duurzaam. Hierdoor komt de kwaliteit van het onderwijs in het geding.

Who are open-source intelligence activists and how reliable are their contributions to public understanding of Russia’s war in Ukraine?

Reconstructie van de taalgeschiedenis en prehistorie in de context van de Indo-Europese taalfamilie.

During the summer, we organize a summer school for researchers who want to learn about communicating science to diverse audiences. The summer school is aimed at researchers in any career stage who are new to science communication. The Summer School is open for all disciplines in science, including social…

Kidney transplantation is a major advance of modern medicine. This course will give you state of the art updates about what used to be an experimental, risky, and very limited treatment option more than 50 years ago and is now routinely performed in many countries worldwide.

Den Haag is de internationale stad van vrede, recht en veiligheid. Voor het Institute of Security and Global Affairs (ISGA) een logische plek om partners binnen ministeries, overheden en NGO’s te bereiken met onderzoek op het gebied van veiligheidsvraagstukken.

Samenwerken is de oplossing voor internationale problemen, bleek tijdens het eindseminar van de Master Honours Class ‘Smart Regional Integration’ – al is dat soms makkelijker gezegd dan gedaan. “Je ziet de studenten ermee worstelen.”

The findings in this thesis improve the understanding of 1) the relationship between exposure characteristics and toxicity of ENPs, 2) the joint toxic action of ENP mixtures and the comparison to metal salt mixtures, 3) how NOM affects the individual and joint toxicity of ENPs, 4) the extent of trophic…

What are the pressing issues of our time, and how can different disciplines come together to address them? Studium Generale and Leiden University College (LUC) present the Global Challenges series: events that bring together researchers from LUC and experts from other disciplines to tackle a shared…

Dit boek neemt je stapsgewijs mee in het schrijven van een scriptie, met (voornamelijk) een focus op experimenteel onderzoek, dat het meest veel voorkomt. Door de stappen van experimenteel onderzoek in chronologische volgorde op te splitsen en bij elke stap tips te geven, hopen de auteurs enig houvast…
