This thesis investigates opinion dynamics on random graphs through the lens of the voter model, a classical interacting particle system used to describe how consensus emerges in networks.

Understanding interactions in quantum many-body systems remains one of the most profound and difficult challenges in condensed matter physics.

The dissertation describes TEM experiments on heterogeneous catalysts.

The main topic of this PhD thesis is the Arakelov ray class group of a number field, an algebraic object that contains both the ideal class group structure and the unit group structure.

Op 11 mei 2017 vond ter gelegenheid van zijn eerste lustrum het lustrumcongres van Hazelhoff Centre for Financial Law plaats met als thema ‘Public and Private Regulation of Financial Markets’.

Waarom zijn niet alle kinderen even gevoelig voor variaties in hun sociale omgeving?

My PhD research is devoted to studies of the conjectural cluster-algebraic symmetry in the theory of topological string, which is the simplest, however already non-trivial sector in the theory of string.

How did colonial law work to turn people into property? This project argues that colonial ideas about households and domestic authority were critical to legal processes of enslavement in the early modern Dutch empire. Using colonial court records from Dutch Brazil, Suriname, and the Moluccas, the project…

Politicologen Tom Louwerse, Simon Otjes en Cynthia van Vonno introduceren hun Dutch Parliamentary Behaviour Dataset, waarin zij het stemgedrag in de Tweede Kamer sinds 1945 beschikbaar maken voor onderzoek.

In dit proefschrift worden de attitudes, kennis, noteringsvaardigheden en beredeneerde praktijken van Nederlandse leraren in het voortgezet onderwijs met betrekking tot cultureel responsief lesgeven in een multiculturele klascontext onderzocht.

Niels van Willigen (Instituut Politieke Wetenschap, Universiteit Leiden) plaatst de Nederlandse deelname aan VN vredesmissies in een historische context. Hij bekijkt de redenen voor een afname van de Nederlandse inbreng na 1990 en verkent de obstakels en mogelijkheden voor een ‘Nederlandse terugkeer’…

This project explores themes at the intersection of maritime history and environmental history by looking at the problems Dutch ships encountered in the different climates of the Atlantic and Indian Ocean worlds, and the solutions they could provide.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are the most abundant class of organic compounds in space. The PAH field evolves from the constant interaction between experimentalists, theorists, modellers and observers. While laboratory research and quantum chemical calculations together set up the molecular…

Shape and biological function are tightly connected. Physical descriptions are used to connect the shape of a biological system with its function.

This thesis deals with properties of Jacobians of genus two curves that cover elliptic curves.

This Thesis focuses on the design and synthesis of ADP-ribosylated compounds that can be applied in biological studies.

De masterspecialisatie Philosophical Perspectives on Politics and the Economy van de Universiteit Leiden was voorheen bekend onder de naam Philosophy, Politics and Economics.

This thesis mainly extends the theory of positive operators on Riesz spaces to a setting of pre-Riesz spaces.

In this thesis, we extend the concept of null models as canonical ensembles of multi-graphs with given constraints and present new metrics able to characterize real-world layered systems based on their correlation patterns.

A management strategy has been developed for field margins to reduce pesticide drift to non-target areas and to promote biodiversity on arable land. To this end, 3 and 6 m wide strips along the edges of winter wheat, sugar beet and potato crops have been left unsprayed with herbicides and insecticides…

Despite the history of studies on methanol formation from CO2, the dominant elementary reaction steps that constitute the chemical mechanism for this catalyzed process are not determined.

The parabolic Anderson model (PAM), which is the Cauchy problem for the heat equation with random potential. The PAM is a mathematical model that describes how mass (i.e. matter or energy) flows in a medium in the presence of a field of sources and sinks.

Theresa May houdt vol dat geen Brexit-deal beter is dan een slechte Brexit-deal. Volgens diverse wetenschappers is dit echter niet het geval. Het zou niet alleen slecht zijn voor Groot-Brittannië, maar ook voor Nederland.

This thesis aimed to investigate the impact of exposure dynamics, relative contributions of ENPs(particle) and ENPs(ion), and dosing regimens on the toxicity of ENPs varying in different physico-chemical properties, on the composition and functioning of soil microbial communities.

In this thesis, rational points on K3 surfaces are studied. In the first part of Chapter 1 the Brauer group and the the Brauer-Manin obstruction are introduced.

Microbiome composition of the spermosphere and the rhizosphere of wild and modern bean accessions grown in an agricultural and a native soil from Colombia was characterized by metagenomics and cultivation-dependent approaches.

Plants are colonized by an astounding number of microorganisms that can provide different life-support functions, including nutrient acquisition and protection against (a)biotic stresses like drought or pathogen attack.

A History of Dutch Corruption and Public Morality toont 300 jaar verandering, continuïteit en diversiteit in de geschiedenis van Nederlandse politieke corruptie en publieke moraliteit. Het analyseert een reeks corruptieschandalen en toont hoe de debatten daarover waren verbonden met de grote veranderingen…
