In this thesis, we study systems of electrons in which strong correlations give rise to emergent exotic physics.

In the first part, we introduce a new condition, called toric-additivity, on a family of abelian varieties degenerating to a semi-abelian scheme over a normal crossing divisor.

It has now been well established that shocks and turbulent motions in the intra-cluster medium (ICM) generated through cluster mergers can produce large-scale synchrotron emission.

The focus throughout this thesis will be on gathering fundamental studies of the detailed structure and composition of the electrode/electrolyte interface effect on the rate and mechanism of key electrocatalytic reactions.

Glycosidases are essential in fundamental biological processes and are responsible for the degradation of most (oligo)saccharides, glycolipids and glycoproteins.

Stochastic resetting is simple enough to be approached analytically, yet modifies stochastic processes in a non-trivial way.

During my PhD research, I studied the photon statistics of light emitted by a microcavity that contains a single quantum dot (QD) on resonance.

In this thesis, the role of mast cells in atherosclerosis and novel therapeutic strategies to inhibit atherosclerosis progression are discussed. The first part of the thesis specifically focuses on the relation between mast cells and advanced human atherosclerotic plaque characteristics.

This dissertation consists of two parts, with the common theme

More than 5,000 exoplanets have been found over the past couple of decades. These exoplanets show a tremendous diversity, ranging from scorching hot Jupiters, common super-Earths, to widely separated super-Jupiters on the planet/brown dwarf boundary.

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

Op 21 oktober 2021 verdedigde Frederik Behre het proefschrift 'A European Ministry of Finance?'. Het promotieonderzoek is begeleid door promotor prof.dr. S.C.G. Van den Bogaert.

In the early universe, the dynamics of the Higgs field can give rise to many interesting phenomena.

GLOBOX is a spatially differentiated multimedia fate, exposure and effect model. It is used for the calculation of spatially differentiated LCA characterisation factors on a global scale.

In this course, you will explore the organs involved in our food digestion and discover the common causes of abdominal and pelvic pain. The latest graphics and animations will give you new insights and understandings of this part of the body.

Depressie bij jongeren wordt vaak benaderd als een individueel probleem. Maar wie alleen naar het kind kijkt, mist een belangrijk deel van het verhaal, stelt promovenda Myrthe Veenman: ‘Ouders doen ertoe’.

How did we come into existence? Are we alone? These questions have driven humans for centuries.

In the thesis the dynamics of strategies is studied from two perspectives.In the first part of the thesis strategies are considered to be opinions present in a community.

Less than 1 in 10 drug candidates that enter phase 1 clinical trials actually gets approved for human use.

The dissertation offers new tools and insights to computation and modelling of topological phases, with an emphasis on the aperiodic setting.

In this thesis we examine certain phenomena in symplectic topology which are related to the theory of isolated singularities.

Wat maakte het vroege islamitische rijk zo succesvol en hebben we het verhaal gemist door cruciaal bewijs te negeren? De Arabische veroveringen in de 7e eeuw veranderden de sociaal-politieke configuraties in het Middellandse Zeegebied en Eurazië voorgoed. Toch weten we niet echt hoe de Arabieren erin…

Indigenous Latin American artifacts have attracted the interest of Europeans since the earliest moment of contact between Europeans and the Indigenous peoples of the Americas. The ERC-funded BECACO project uses an innovative multidisciplinary framework to investigate the provenance of ethnographic and…

Moritz Jesse has been awarded a Jean Monnet Chair by the European Commission. In his MIND-EU Project he will focus on a coherent way to teach Migration, Integration, and Non-Discrimination at Leiden Law School at bachelor and master level.

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?

It has been a long-standing mystery how complex biological structures emerge from such seemingly uncoordinated building blocks as cells and tissues, in the presence of only minimal environmental guidance.

In this thesis, I studied the origin and evolution of the non-thermal radiation in merging galaxy clusters.

An objective of this research was to achieve direct, well-defined and non-rate-limiting electron transfer between respiratory enzymes and the electrode surface by means of 'Q-wires'.

Endocannabinoids are lipid messengers that modulate various physiological functions by activating the cannabinoid CB1 and CB2 receptors. While the metabolism of endocannabinoids and their action at the CB receptors is fairly well studied, the molecular mechanisms governing their release and transport…
