The research in this dissertation aims to optimise blood donation processes in the framework of the Dutch national blood bank Sanquin. The primary health risk for blood donors is iron deficiency, which is evaluated based on donors' hemoglobin and ferritin levels.

Als terrorismewetenschappers zijn we geïntrigeerd door diegenen die overgaan tot geweld. We onderzoeken hun motieven, tactieken, ideologieën, organisatiestructuren en de wegen die leiden naar (de)mobilisatie, in de hoop terrorisme beter te kunnen begrijpen en zo een manier te vinden om het tegen te…

Enkele dagen vóór de brand in een voormalig café in Den Hoorn, waarschuwden buurtpreventen al voor onveilige situaties. Rogier Kegge, universitair docent staats- en bestuursrecht en expert in omgevingsrecht, spreekt in het Algemeen Dagblad over de verantwoordelijke partij in dit soort gevallen.

Afgelopen vrijdag 4 december 2015, organiseerde JFV Grotius een congres over de Europese rechtsorde op sneltreinvaart! Veel aspecten van de Europeanisering van de rechtsorde werden onder leiding van prof. dr. Wim Voermans besproken door deskundige inleiders.

Op 20 mei 2019, heeft dr. Yannick van den Brink, universitair docent bij de afdeling Jeugdrecht, deelgenomen aan een live webinar getiteld 'Child Pre-Trial Detention. A Global Movement to Reduce Length of Stay’, samen met collega's uit de Verenigde Staten en Mexico.

De gemeente Den Haag kampt de laatste tijd met de nodige bestuurlijke problemen. Onlangs viel de coalitie naar aanleiding van het justitieel onderzoek naar twee voormalige wethouders en stapte de burgemeester op na een kritisch rapport over de vreugdevuren.

In photoactivated chemotherapy (PACT), a biologically active compound is caged by a light-cleavable protecting group.

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,…

This thesis has described novel synthetic methods to produce a variety of (glyco)peptides and their application in the study of various immunological processes.

Almost all bacteria are enveloped by a cell wall that provides cellular protection.

Cytotoxic T-cells (CTLs) are involved in the clearance of viruses and killing of tumor cells.

A convolutional neural network (CNN) is a biologically inspired algorithm, highly capable at processing images and videos.

Op 23 juni 2020 verdedigde Santy Kouwagam haar proefschrift 'How lawyers win land conflicts for corporations: Legal Strategy and its influence on the Rule of Law in Indonesia'. Het promotieonderzoek is begeleid door promotoren prof.dr. A.W. Bedner en prof.dr. C.E. von Benda-Beckmann.

The work in this thesis describes the fundamental role of Lkb1 as a conductor of metabolism-related processes in zebrafish larvae.

With an emphasis on developing novel miktoarm star polymers termed PeptoMiktoStars, this thesis leverages asymmetric polymeric polypept(o)ide frameworks to advance their effectiveness in delivering hydrophobic drugs and nucleic acids.

This dissertation is part of a broader research project that revolves around unraveling the evolution of balanced lethal systems.

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.

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…

Carbohydrates are present on the surface of bacteria making them suitable antigen candidates for vaccine development. This thesis deals with the synthesis of two carbohydrate-based components; the capsular polisaccharide of S. aureus type 5 and teichoic acids from staphilococci and enterococci speci…

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.

Accurate prediction of the unbound drug concentration-time profile at the CNS target site is crucial for the assessment of the right drug concentration-effect relationship. PBPK models have supported the PK prediction of the CNS target sites and the translation of PK data between species and between…

A structural investigation of coiled coil peptides used as membrane fusogens, mimicing naturally occuring coiled-coil fusion proteins. Synthetic modifications have been made to alter lipid attachment, secondary structure and to insert photoactive azobenzene moieties for active control over coiled coil…

The research group Science Communication and Society aims to understand how science communication works to improve the interaction between science and society. Central themes are ‘Bridging the gap between experts and the general public’ and ‘Evaluating Science Communication’.

Soil biodiversity is of great importance for the maintenance of multifunctionality in terrestrial ecosystems.

In this thesis we study products of linear error correcting codes.

Carbohydrates, alongside proteins and nucleic acids, constitute a crucial and versatile family of biomolecules present in all life forms. They manifest as monosaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides, covalently bonded to proteins and fats. Carbohydrates are integral to plant and arthropod…

In this thesis we have discussed several parameters that affect the electrochemical conversion of enviromentaly harmful molecules such as nitrates and carbon dioxide to more valuable and less deleterious compounds, in order to cast light onto the mechanism of the reaction to achieve an efficient and…

In this thesis, we have used numerical approaches to study the effects of translational symmetry breaking on strange metallic systems as realised by the holographic duality⁠.

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.

In this thesis, we have studied cell images from two types of cells, including pollen grains and the immune cells, neutrophils. These images are captured using a bright field microscope and a confocal microscope.

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.

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.

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…
