Adenosine diphosphate ribosylation (ADP-ribosylation) is a fascinating post-translational modification (PTM) that plays a role in a variety of cellular processes and is associated with several diseases, including cancer and viral infections.

The main aim of this project is to reveal and unravel the invisible histories of the UN, transcending the dominant Western perspective to recover the historical agency of Global South actors. The research will investigate how the UN has both facilitated and limited their role in shaping global order…

The work described in this Thesis is focused on the assembly of oligosaccharide fragments derived from a fungal polysaccharide, galactosaminogalactan (GAG) and fragments of the exopolysaccharide Pel, generated by Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Migration imposes special pressures on the meaning, experience and organization of lifecycle rituals. These pressures are felt most strongly by Muslim migrants to Western Europe. In this innovative study, Nathal M. Dessing examines the effects of migration on the life cycle rituals of Moroccan, Turkish…

This thesis consists of two subjects, that are both a consequence of radiation pressure.

This thesis examines silicon pore optics (SPO), a technology that exploits silicon wafers from the semiconductor industry to create extremely high quality X-ray optics, by studying its manufacturing process, applications, and prospects.

With the emergence of online social networks (OSNs), the way people create and share information has changed, which becomes faster and broader than traditional social media.

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…

This project uses archaeological, literary and epigraphic evidence to investigate urban development in Roman-period North Africa, compiling this in a GIS-linked database in order to analyse the development of urban settlement spatially over time.

Bij het Beleg van Leiden, in 1574, stierf een derde van de bevolking. Nog jaarlijks herdenkt de stad het einde van deze belegering met hutspot, haring en wittebrood. En Leiden staat niet alleen: steden zijn al duizenden jaren het toneel van strijd.

Het Instituut voor Regiostudies (LIAS) doet interdisciplinair onderzoek naar Azië en het Midden-Oosten, van de oudheid tot nu.

De staf van het Instituut voor Regiostudies (LIAS) verricht interdisciplinair onderzoek naar Azië en het Midden-Oosten, van de oudheid tot heden. In ons onderzoek streven wij naar een vruchtbare wisselwerking tussen historische en hedendaagse benaderingen, met bijzondere aandacht voor talen en culturen,…

De Griekse papyrologie is de wetenschap die zich bezighoudt met het ontcijferen en bestuderen van alle teksten die in de Griekse taal op papyrus geschreven staan. Papyrus was het schrijfmateriaal van de oudheid en werd vervaardigd uit op elkaar gekleefde reepjes van de papyrusplant.

The research described in this Thesis was aimed at designing and synthesizing nature-inspired compounds as part of TB vaccine discovery.

Over the past years it has been discovered that the population of extra-solar planets is large and diverse.

Quantum computing is an emerging technology, which holds the potential to simulate complex quantum systems beyond the reach of classical numerical methods.Despite recent formidable advancements in quantum hardware, constructing a quantum computer capable of performing useful calculations remains challenging.In…

In this thesis we investigated the ability of two-photon multifocal microscopy for single-molecule microscopy in live cells and organisms.

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.

Light-Harvesting Complex II (LHCII) is responsible for light absorption and excitation energy transfer in plants and photosynthetic algae, while in high light it undergoes conformational changes by which it quenches excitations to prevent photodamage.

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.

This thesis examines the impacts and challenges of water use of electric power system. This thesis found that there are large differences in water use of electricity technologies, with hydropower and thermal power being two large water users.

Food security is challenged by a growing global population and by climate change. Drought and soil salinity are considered the most important ones that inhibit crop yield and distribution. Worryingly, climate change is predicted to increase not only their frequency and severity, but also their co-occurrence,…

Data theory research on the analysis on the multidimensional data

The database research community has made tremendous strides in developing powerful database engines that allow for efficient analytical query processing.

My PhD research is devoted to studies of the conjectural cluster-algebraic symmetry in the theory of topological string, which is the simplest, however already non-trivial sector in the theory of string.

The work in this thesis has been focused on two subjects. The first is the assembly of alginate oligosaccharides and the generation of building blocks for the enzymatic synthesis of alginate, and the second is the total synthesis of large fragments of the zwitterionic SP1 polysaccharide.
