In his dissertation Michiel Hooykaas outlines the results of six empirical research projects focused at biodiversity awareness in the Netherlands, specifically people’s knowledge about animals.

Archeologie in Afrika was en is vaak nog een westerse koloniale activiteit. Tomomi Fushiya, recentelijk gepromoveerd op dit onderwerp, schreef hierover een artikel in de december-uitgave van Archeologie Magazine.

Large carnivores and humans, along with their livestock, have co-existed for thousands of years. However, human population growth and an increase in economic activities are modifying the landscape for large carnivores and their prey.

De Filipijnse antropologen Andrea Malaya M. Ragragio en Myfel D. Paluga blikken terug op de baanbrekende Netflix show Trese en waar het aan ontbrak bij de verhalen van inheemse volken. Zij publiceerden het artikel 'What Netflix Got Wrong About Indigenous Storytelling' in het digitale antropologie tijdschrift…

Big Science, commonly defined as conventional science made big in three dimensions, namely organizations, machines, and politics, brings a plethora of different stakeholders together, often for a long period of time. This includes policymakers, scientists, (scientific) managers as well as local “host”…

Mariana Françozo krijgt een Starting Grant van de European Research Council. De 1,5 miljoen euro zullen door Dr. Françozo en haar onderzoeksteam worden ingezet om een beter begrip te krijgen van het proces waarbij de traditionele kennis van de diverse inheemse Braziliaanse volken is omgezet in westerse…

Dit op casestudies gebaseerde Engelstalige boek over multivariate analyse voor gevorderde studenten in de geesteswetenschappen legt de nadruk op beschrijvende, exploratieve analyses van verschillende soorten datasets uit een breed scala van subdisciplines, waarbij het gebruik van multivariate analyse…

This thesis describes how different colours of light affect various aspects of the growth and development of Arabidopsis and tomato plants⁠.

This thesis is largely an experimental study on the formation of solid-state simple and complex organic molecules in the H2O-rich and CO-rich ice phases of dense interstellar clouds and dark cores.

Errors are everywhere, and mechanical failures are especially common: buckled grain silos and cracked support columns are, justly, seen as an issue to be avoided.

This thesis combines field and laboratory studies to address some of the most pressing questions in the field of microplastic research.

This dissertation aims to advance understanding of amoeboid single cell migration under the influence of changing physicochemical environmental properties. The particular focus is on the relatively unknown influence of differing physical properties in the extracellular environment, such as the migratory…

In this work the reconstruction of a tau neutrino signal in the KM3NeT detector is discussed.

This dissertation revolves around the design and implementation of novel instrumentation and related measurement techniques, at the single molecule level, for use in biophysical research. Chapter 1 presents an introduction to the field of fluorescence-based single molecule measurements. In particular,…

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…

Early time-resolved experiments by Frauenfelder on the ensemble of the kinetic rebinding of CO to myoglobin molecules resulted in a stretched exponential relaxa-tion due to a very large spread of the reaction rates of individual molecules.

In human cells, a meter-long DNA is condensed inside a micrometer-sized cell nucleus. Simultaneously, the genetic code must remain accessible for its replication and transcription to functional proteins.

This dissertation is an experimental study of laser-generated, atmospheric pressure, transient toroidal helium plasmas.

The work presented in this thesis is based on ALMA surveys of protoplanetary disks in three star-forming regions: Lupus, OMC-2, and NGC 2024.

This thesis is about the study of hydrocarbons via infrared spectroscopy.
