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…

The global agri-food system plays a critical role in food security and environmental issues.

Pulsars were first discovered in 1967 and since then the population has grown and expanded over several wavelengths.

Bij Studeren à la carte of toehoorderschap is er sprake van aanschuifonderwijs: u schuift aan bij een reguliere collegereeks, zonder dat u tentamen aflegt. Na afloop ontvangt u een certificaat van deelname. Hierop staan geen studieresultaten (er is immers geen tentamen afgelegd).

Acute cardiovascular syndromes, including myocardial infarction or stroke, are the principal cause of death in the Western society. The main underlying pathology of cardiovascular diseases is atherosclerosis, which is caused by the accumulation of lipids and inflammatory cells in the vessel wall, in…

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

Electrocatalysis allows for storing electricity or converting it into chemical bonds, producing chemical building blocks and fuels using renewable resources.

Increasing the efficiency of gene targeting (GT) as a genome editing tool in plants has been an important goal in plant biotechnology.

A sustainable resource management is an essential aspect to satisfy the current human needs without compromising the needs of future generations.

In this thesis, the focus lies on studying glucocorticoid receptor dynamics in living cells with the aim of understanding how this transcription factor finds its DNA target sites to regulate transcription.

In some condensed matter systems, such as the surface of a 3D topological insulator, the electrons are effectively massless and we must necessarily use the massless Dirac equation to describe them.

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.

De prof. A.E.J. Modderman Stichting is verbonden aan de Universiteit Leiden en beoogt bevordering van het onderzoek op het gebied van de strafrechtswetenschappen.

The explosive radiation and diversification of the advanced snakes (superfamily Colubroidea) was associated with changes in all aspects of the shared venom system. Morphological changes included the partitioning of the mixed ancestral glands into two discrete glands devoted for production of venom ormucous…

The ability to count is a property not often attributed to materials, despite the abundance of memory in materials. Regardless of how a material stores information, it is often difficult to retrieve exactly ‘what’ a material remembers.

In most applications, electrocatalysts exhibit a large surface area to volume ratio, for example using nanoparticles.

De minor Creative Strategies for a Society in Change (CSSC) legt een verbinding tussen het verkrijgen van inzicht in creatieve maakprocessen en het verkennen van maatschappelijke problematieken die kenmerkend zijn voor onze tijd.

Lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) are a group of orphan diseases characterized by lysosomal dysfunction or impaired lysosomal catabolism and affect collectively about 1 in 5000 live births.

Solar energy harnessed by plants and algae has great potential to be converted into biofuels for future generations.

Heeft u belangstelling voor een universitaire opleiding, maar wilt u niet meteen een hele studie volgen, kies dan een van de vele à la carte-cursussen die de Faculteit der Geesteswetenschappen aanbiedt.

Cardiovascular diseases are a leading cause of death worldwide, and better models are urgently needed for disease progression studies and drug development.

Artificial photosynthesis has recognised potential to produce green and sustainable fuels from earth-abundant resources such as water, carbon dioxide (CO2), and sunlight.

uman skin equivalents (HSEs) are in vitro 3D-skin models that mimic many aspects of the native human skin (NHS) and can be a valuable tool.

In previous studies at our laboratory it was demonstrated that drug exposure of HepG2 cells can lead to an altered TNFα-induced NF-κB oscillatory phenotype, concurrent with a synergistically increased sensitivity for TNFα-induced apoptosis.

Microglia support the central and peripheral nervous system by forming the first line of defense against hazardous events. Microglia are increasingly acknowledged as critical players in neurodegenerative diseases, highlighting them as potential therapeutic targets.

In this project, researchers from computer science, law, psychology, and public administration research in practice how artificial intelligence (AI) can be leveraged to make decision-making in the security domain more effective, while also keeping it safe and accountable.

Hoe kunnen we op een interdisciplinaire wijze de classificatie van migranten en mensen met een beperking bestuderen en onderzoekers van deze velden samenbrengen om raakvlakken met elkaar te vinden?

This thesis describes the implementation and on-sky demonstration of high-resolution integral-field spectroscopy for extreme adaptive optics systems that are used to find and characterize exoplanets.

In this thesis, we describe the latest advances in SQUID-detected Magnetic Resonance Force Microscopy (MRFM).

Single-molecule spectroscopy has become a powerful method for using organic fluorescent molecules in numerous applications.
