It researches (the possibilities for) the development of a set of principles and best practices for insolvency office holders by comparing multilateral treaties and soft law recommendations and national legislation within Europe.

The deeper understanding of an organism's pathology is important for developing treatments. Over centuries of systematic research, clinical researchers have demonstrated that the more information they acquire about the cellular properties and their organisation in the tissue, the better they can understand…

By growing in a soil plants change the biotic and abiotic properties of the soil in which they grow.

In populations with a seed-bank, individuals can temporarily become dormant and refrain from reproduction until they can become active again. The repository of all dormant individuals in the population is called the seed-bank. Seed-banks are observed in many taxa, including plants, bacteria and other…

The thesis deals with the study of giant radio galaxies (GRGs), which are radio galaxies of megaparsec sizes.

The Vallesian, 11.1-9 Ma, was a special time in the Vallès-Penedes basin near Barcelona, where a biodiversity hotspot existed. Europe had a subtropical climate, with rhinos, forest giraffes, lions, hyenas, flying squirrels and primates.

Stars like the sun are born in large molecular clouds existing from gas and dust. During the formation process, the chemical composition of the material can be altered drastically by the changing physical conditions.

Where does the urge to collect come from? What are the explicit or underlying reasons for gathering large amount of objects?

Statistical considerations guide the design and implementation of the experiments that scientists perform. For instance, in a clinical trial about a the efficacy of a treatment, its effect in a certain minimum amount of patients has to be observed in order to make confident assertions about the efficacy…

Waarom bestudeerden negentiende-eeuwse geleerden Oudengelse religieuze teksten? Dit onderzoek laat zien hoe geloof, naast politiek en literatuur, hun interesse stuurde en hoe deze teksten het christelijke denken beïnvloedden in Europa.

Statistische modellen doen betere voorspellingen over toekomstig gedrag dan psychologen die gedrag louter verklaren. Daarom moeten psychologen zich meer richten op de ontwikkeling van accurate statistische voorspellingsmodellen. Dat stelt Mark de Rooij, hoogleraar Methodologie en Statistiek van Psychologisch…

The origin and evolution of galaxies are closely linked to many different physical phenomena.

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.

N-acylethanolamines (NAEs), including N-arachidonoylethanolamine (anandamide, AEA), N-palmitoylethanolamine (PEA) and N-oleoylethanolamine (OEA), are signaling lipids that play an important role in different physiological process.

De Leidse hoogleraar astronomie Mike Garrett zoekt naar tekenen van buitenaardse intelligentie. In zijn Kaiser Lentelezing op 23 april zet hij uiteen hoe ver de wetenschap op dit punt is.

Uncertainty and noise are frequently-encountered obstacles in real-world applications of numerical optimization. The practice of optimization that deals with uncertainties and noise is commonly referred to as robust optimization.

We are living in an information era where the amount of image and video data increases exponentially.

Automated Machine Learning (AutoML) is widely used to automatically build a suitable practical Machine Learning (ML) model for an arbitrary real-world problem, reducing the effort of practitioners in the ML development cycle for real-world applications. Optimization is a key part of a typical AutoML…

In this thesis, topics relating to the optimization of high-throughput pipelines used for imaging are discussed. In particular, different levels of implementation, i.e., conceptual, software, and hardware, are discussed and the thesis outlines how advances on each level need to be made to make gains…

Despite being the second largest transmembrane protein family after GPCRs, the SLC superfamily has only gained significant attention in early drug development over the past decade.

OB associations are loose groups of young, massive stars. They constitute the last stage of the massive starformation process, and the context in which new stars are formed.

This research delves into a region of space known as the interstellar medium (ISM), which is essentially the area between the stars filled with gas and dust.

Bij de Onderzoeksgroep Geweld en Geweldpreventie (Violence and Violence Prevention) wordt onderzoek gedaan naar de complexiteit van hedendaags geweld, de uiteenlopende verschijningsvormen ervan en strategieën voor preventie.

Surface acoustic waves (SAWs) are mechanical waves that travel along the surface of a material and find many applications in modern technologies due to the ease of excitation on piezoelectric substrates via interdigital transducers (IDTs).

Plant exudates appeared long time ago in the history line of life in the early Devonian. They are typical saps produced by specialized cells.
