In 2009-2010 ontstond in het westerse discours het idee van een meer ‘assertief’ China, een opvatting die China krachtig van de hand wijst. Niettemin is, vooral sinds Xi Jinping in 2012 aan de macht kwam, duidelijk dat China zijn lang gehanteerde buitenlandse beleidsdoctrine van ‘een lage profilering…

In this thesis, we show how MRFM can usefully contribute to the field of condensed-matter.

Assessing the risks of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) solely on the basis of experimental assays is time-consuming, resource intensive, and constrained by ethical considerations (such as the principles of the 3Rs of animal testing). The adoption of computational toxicology in this field is a high p…

For each living organism health is ensured by correct functioning of its cells. Cells therefore have elaborate methods for regulation of their proteins.

De quantumfysica ontstond ongeveer 100 jaar geleden in Europa en bracht een ware technologische revolutie teweeg door middel van halfgeleiders, lasers, glasvezel en vele andere technologieën die vandaag de dag alomtegenwoordig zijn in ons leven. Nu, tijdens de tweede quantumrevolutie, kan Europa opnieuw…

Why do sexual violence policies still fail to systematically address men and masculinities, when the need for cultural change among men has been central in public debates since #MeToo?

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

The focus of this thesis is how stars like our Sun and planets like Jupiter, Saturn, and Earth are formed.

Material circularity and energy efficiency are highly relevant and intertwined issues for the transition towards a carbon-neutral and circular built environment. In the Netherlands, the building sector has been rendered a priority towards a circular and low-carbon society.

De zoektocht naar betrouwbare AI staat hoog op zowel de politieke als de onderzoeksagenda en vormt de eerste onderzoeksdoelstelling (H1) van TAILOR: het ontwikkelen van de fundamenten voor betrouwbare AI. Deze doelstelling richt zich op het ontwerpen en ontwikkelen van AI-systemen die de garanties inbouwen…

The thesis describes experimental steps towards reduction of friction on the macroscopic scale by scenarios of thermo- and superlubricity well-known on the nanoscale.

In this project of the Center for Public Values & Ethics (CPVE) ongoing research is conducted on the history of advice to Dutch central government by so-called State committees from 1814 to 2014. State committees have been installed by Dutch central government since 1814 to provide expert advice, research…

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

Hoe kwamen vroegmoderne mensen achter nieuwe kennis? En maakte dat hen meer bereid om innovatie te accepteren? In dit project wordt onderzocht hoe en met welk effect nieuwe kennis zich verankerde onder het bredere publiek in de vroegmoderne Lage Landen.

Het archeologisch erfgoed van Zuid-Amerika wordt in toenemende mate bedreigd door de uitbreiding van landbouwactiviteiten, de uitbreiding van infrastructuur, illegale houtkap en de huidige bosbranden die het Amazonegebied en andere gebieden van het continent teisteren.

Statistical distributions in LCA and converting between different representations of these distributions.

Binnen Dappere Kleintjes werken we aan verschillende projecten om peuters en kleuters te helpen die snel angstig of verlegen zijn. We richten ons op het vroeg herkennen van angstig gedrag én op het ondersteunen van ouders om hier mee om te gaan.

The solar system was formed approximately 4.56 billion years ago. Despite the numerous theories that have been developed over the years, the formation and evolution of the solar system still remain unclear.

Detecting planets during their formation stages is crucial for understanding the history and diversity of fully developed planetary systems like our own. However, observing young planets directly is challenging because they are often deeply embedded within their host protoplanetary discs, rich in gas…

Corruption, integrity (or a lack thereof…) and public values are near omnipresent elements in public administration and politics of all times. Cases of corrupt public officials and politicians continuously emerge. Strangely enough, however, it often remains unknown what actually occurred, how something…

The thesis is part of a bigger project, the HEPGAME (High Energy Physics Game). The main objective for HEPGAME is the utilization of AI solutions, particularly by using MCTS for simplification of HEP calculations.

Onderzoekers aangesloten bij het Leiden Leadership Centre zijn actieve leden van het PUPOL netwerk. PUPOL is een internationaal academisch netwerk voor publiek en politiek leiderschap. Dit netwerk stimuleert de uitwisseling van ideeën en bevordert gezamenlijk onderzoek tussen wetenschappers gericht…

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.

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…

Given the accelerating appearance of antimicrobial resistance, there is an urgent need for more fundamental research into novel antibiotic strategies. The work in this thesis helps to address this global problem by developing new antibiotic compounds, inspired by the antibacterial mechanisms of the…

The parabolic Anderson model (PAM), which is the Cauchy problem for the heat equation with random potential. The PAM is a mathematical model that describes how mass (i.e. matter or energy) flows in a medium in the presence of a field of sources and sinks.

Sheltering is an immediate human need and determines well-being andhealth.

Drug-target binding kinetics determine the time course of the central event in pharmacotherapy: Drug-target interaction.

Freshwater biodiversity has been threatened by eutrophication due to excessive nutrients in the environment. Releasing the freshwater species from such pressures requires efforts from industry and manufacturers to avoid emissions to vulnerable and high-risk regions.
