In this dissertation, matching, entropy, holes and expansions come together. The first chapter is an introduction to ergodic theory and dynamical systems.

During post-embryonic development into adults, animals face an environment that fluctuates constantly. For example, in nutrient availability, temperature, and osmolarity (e.g., salt concentration).

The research presented in this thesis concerns one of the most important questions in software engineering of our time: how can we make sure that software is free from memory safety bugs?

In Nederland en in België nam de maatschappelijke en politieke belangstelling voor de veiligheid bij grootschalige evenementen en noodsituaties sterk toe.

LUC is the first to confer the diploma of the Faculty of Governance and Global Affairs, the new Faculty name since January 2016 making this graduation an extra special occasion.

This thesis aims to demonstrate how the achromatic nature and design flexibility of liquid-crystal optics can be used to improve high-contrast imaging instruments to facilitate detailed exoplanet characterization.

Op 17 januari houdt Frits Scholten (Rijksmuseum Amsterdam) een lezing getiteld: "Private Devotion & Immersive Play - The Use of 'Spiritual Toys' in the Late Middle Ages". De lezing wordt gehouden in het kader van een Lorentz center workshop over 'Religious Imagination in the Late Medieval Low Countries…

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.

In this thesis, the research focuses on the properties of dark matter and dark matter haloes and how they connect with the galaxies we can observe in the Universe.

Hospital pharmacies face significant challenges: the demand for sterile drug reconstitutions is increasing, while specialized personnel remain scarce. Automation offers a potential solution, but its practical implementation in hospitals is still unclear.

In this thesis we will explore the use of fuzzy systems theory for applications in bioinformatics.

We present an extensive study of methods for exactly solving stochastic constraint (optimisation) problems (SCPs) in network analysis. These problems are prevalent in science, governance and industry.

This thesis discusses several questions regarding the double ramification cycle as a Chow class on the moduli space of stable n-pointed genus g curves using tools from so-called logarithmic geometry.

In the first part of this thesis we study the geometry of folding patterns.

Quantum position verification (QPV) - the subject of this thesis - is a novel way to authenticate unknown nodes in a quantum network without the need to physically meet up.

Hieronder vind je de antwoorden op een aantal veelgestelde vragen over toelating tot de klinische specialisaties van de Master Psychologie.

De expositie First Americans in Museum Volkenkunde demonstreert de veerkracht en creativiteit van inheemse Amerikanen. Indringende kunst, mode en affiches laten zien dat het verleden nooit ver weg is. Kunstenaar Jacob Meders liet zich inspireren door 16-eeuwse prenten uit de Leidse Universiteitsbibliotheek.…

The development process of any software has become extremely important not just in the IT industry, but in almost every business or domain of research.

The endophytic microbiota is a community of various microorganisms that reside in plant tissue. These microbes are known to promote plant health and resilience, and their members do not simply exist side by side.

In this thesis we use state-of-the-art observations and simulations to provide the best constraints to date on the HVS ejection rate and constraints on the stellar content and dynamics at the GC, including the progenitor binary populations and their star formation history.

Participants in this course will learn to support student teachers and new colleagues in their professional development as teachers, with particular emphasis on the context of bilingual or international education, as in the ICLON World Teachers Programme (WTP).

Learning a programming language is challenging. Even one of the first –but crucial– concepts to learn, variables, is hard to grasp. Variables can represent different roles and functions within a code and need to be named appropriately to support code comprehension and debugging.

In deep reinforcement learning, searching and learning techniques are two important components. They can be used independently and in combination to deal with different problems in AI, and have achieved impressive results in game playing and robotics. These results have inspired research into artificial…

In this thesis, we investigate how deep generative models (AI models that can create new designs) can be better utilized for technical and industrial design. Our goal is to generate designs that are not only realistic (plausible), but also efficient, reliable, and usable in complex 2D and 3D applica…

This thesis investigates how galaxies form and what diversifies the evolutionary histories of galaxies.

The University of Poitier and UCLouvain organize two study days on the topic of funerary poetry.
