Iedereen moet zich aan de wet houden. Wie dat niet doet, krijgt te maken met politie en justitie. Toepassing van het strafrecht, nationaal, Europees en wereldwijd, lijkt een kwestie van het volgen van de letter van de wet. Toch ligt dit vaak genuanceerder. Bij het Instituut voor Strafrecht & Criminologie…

Tien jaar geleden voerden Nederlandse gevangenissen een nieuw beloningssysteem in: alleen nog bij goed gedrag kunnen gedetineerden extra ‘vrijheden’ verdienen. Zoals meer bezoek en een ruimer trainingsaanbod. Promovendus Jan Maarten Elbers concludeert dat dit systeem nauwelijks aanzet tot gedragsverandering…

Het recht van de Europese Unie beïnvloedt direct en indirect de reikwijdte van strafrechtelijke aansprakelijkheid in Nederland. Die beïnvloeding heeft betekenis voor het materieelrechtelijk legaliteitsbeginsel.

This thesis describes the development and optimization of the first molecular tools to study the enzyme PLA2G4E.

The main research question of this thesis was: Can nitrogen cycling on dairy farms on peat soil in the Dutch Green Heart area be improved by adapting management to the nitrogen supply from soil and by using other grassland species and crops without affecting milk production?

This thesis describes the Multi-site All-Sky CAmeRA (MASCARA), which consists of two small robotic telescope designed to detect exoplanets around the brightest stars in the sky.

The power of personalized nutrition lies in being able to conduct clinical research on healthy people while capturing metabolic markers sensitive to the impact of environmental and metabolic stressors (e.g. diet, changing sex hormones and the menstrual cycle).

Materials with strongly correlated electrons show some of the most mysterious and exotic phases of quantum matter, such as unconventional superconductivity, quantum criticality and strange metal phase.

De onderzoeksgroep Digital Archaeology beheert twee computerlaboratoria voor verschillende doeleinden: een onderwijslab en een onderzoekslab.

In this work, I explore the creation of new methods that optimize simulations of the gravitational N-body problem. Specifically, I take advantage of the recent popularity of Machine Learning methods to find tools that can suit this problem.

One of the effects of climate change is the phenomenon of desertification, a process that occurs in semi-arid and arid areas and causes land degradation as well as vegetation loss. Due to the lack of resources, vegetation self-organizes to sustain itself by forming large-scale spatial patterns.

This dissertation advances automated negotiation by developing agents that can learn and adapt across diverse negotiation settings through three increasingly sophisticated approaches: automated algorithm configuration, portfolio-based strategy selection, and end-to-end reinforcement learning with graph…

This thesis contains results on the arithmetic and geometry of del Pezzo surfaces of degree 1.In Chapter 1 we give the necessary background, assuming the reader is familiar with algebraic geometry.

Welke consumentengroepen hebben de grootste impact op de volksgezondheid en de planeet door hun voedingskeuzes, en hoe kunnen we deze inzichten gebruiken om de transitie naar duurzame eetpatronen te versnellen?

Actinobacteria are Gram-positive bacteria that have a complex multicellular life cycle and are well known for their ability to produce a wide range of bioactive natural products (NPs).

We study the interplay of topology and geometry with chirality for several passive and active systems, employing both analytical and numerical methods.

This thesis focuses on addressing four research problems in designing embedded streaming systems.

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

In the last decades, activity-based protein profiling (ABPP) has emerged as a powerful chemical tool that may aid the ever-challenging drug discovery process.

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.

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