In this thesis, we consider various (electro)chemical phenomena at surfaces and nanoparticles and their underlying atomistic processes, which we studied using first-principles methods such as density functional theory.

Self-assembly offers a promising route to create complex structures and materials using simple building blocks. Through, colloidal self-assembly, we can understand the governing principles of the self-assembly process and unlock its potential in diverse applications in materials science, photonics and…

Most of current public-key cryptography is considered insecure against attacks from sufficiently powerful quantum computers. Post-quantum cryptography studies methods to secure information resistant against such attacks. One proposal is isogeny-based cryptography, which bases its security on computational…

In this thesis, we have studied cell images from two types of cells, including pollen grains and the immune cells, neutrophils. These images are captured using a bright field microscope and a confocal microscope.

De motivatie van studenten van lerarenopleidingen voor het beroep van leraar is afhankelijk van diverse factoren. Lerarenopleidingen kunnen de betrokkenheid van hun studenten beïnvloeden.

Ontwikkeling van effectieve VR-training voor internationaal recht van gewapende conflicten (ILAC)

Synthesis and application of chemical biology tools to study immunomodulatory signaling lipids.

Het doel van dit promotieonderzoek was te onderzoeken wat leraren zelf willen leren. De centrale onderzoeksvraag luidde: wat, hoe en waarom willen leraren leren? En hangt dit af van hun jaren leservaring en de school waarin ze werken?

In this thesis, several aspects of software debugging from automated crash reproduction to bug report analysis and use of contracts have been studied.

In most applications, electrocatalysts exhibit a large surface area to volume ratio, for example using nanoparticles.

Solar energy harnessed by plants and algae has great potential to be converted into biofuels for future generations.

Heeft u belangstelling voor een universitaire opleiding, maar wilt u niet meteen een hele studie volgen, kies dan een van de vele à la carte-cursussen die de Faculteit der Geesteswetenschappen aanbiedt.

Cardiovascular diseases are a leading cause of death worldwide, and better models are urgently needed for disease progression studies and drug development.

In this thesis I highlight the applications of Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) sequencing. This technique is a relatively new approach in the sequencing field, where nanopores are embedded in a membrane, DNA molecules are pulled through nanopores and an electrical current serving as the sequencing…

Consequences for sediment stability and seston trapping

Bacteriophages, or phages for short, are the most abundant biological entity in nature. They shape bacterial communities and are a major driving force in bacterial evolution.

Nowadays, it is well known that hydrogen and helium (and small traces of lithium and beryllium) were created shortly after the Big Bang, while the heavier elements are created in the cores of stars at different evolutionary stages. When these stars explode as supernovae, they expel metals synthesised…

Welke juridische en reguleringsvraagstukken spelen er als kinderen, adolescenten of ouderen gebruik maken van het internet?

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…

In the past decade many population studies have been performed with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) to understand the bulk properties of protoplanetary disks around young stars. These population studies mostly consisted of low mass stars, with relatively few of the disks around…

In-use stocks of products can be considered as intermediaries between human needs and the physical world.

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.

A single self-assembled semiconductor quantum dot in a high-finesse optical microcavity - the subject of this thesis - is an interesting quantum-mechanical system for future quantum applications. For instance, this system allows trapping of an extra electron and thus can serve as a spin quantum memory,…

“Hoe meer het reguliere bankwezen wordt gereguleerd, des te groter zal het schaduwbankwezen worden.”

Single-molecule spectroscopy has become a powerful method for using organic fluorescent molecules in numerous applications.

Over several decades, a variety of computational methods for drug discovery have been proposed and applied in practice. With the accumulation of data and the development of machine learning methods, computational drug design methods have gradually shifted to a new paradigm, i.e. deep learning methods…

Cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) is a powerful technique used to visualize the inside of cells and to study specific protein complexes. Within this thesis, I describe the use of various cryo-EM techniques to gain insight into the structural changes of the human pathogen, Vibrio cholerae, as it…

Welke kansen en bedreigingen vloeien voort uit de institutionele en normatieve diversiteit op het terrein van de rechten van de mens voor de effectieve bescherming van die rechten in een wereld die gekenmerkt wordt door pluralisme?

Minister Koolmees heeft een onafhankelijke commissie van experts gevraagd het kabinet te adviseren over de regulering van werk. De commissie zal onderzoeken hoe werk er in de toekomst uit gaat zien en met wat voor wetten en regelgeving de overheid daar het beste bij kan aansluiten.

Nieuw onderzoek van de National University of Singapore en Leiden laat zien dat chimpansees en bonobo’s net zoveel contrast in hun ogen hebben als mensen, waardoor ze gemakkelijk de richting van iemands blik kunnen volgen.

The AT-Hook Nuclear Localized 15 (AHL15) gene belongs to a plant-specific gene family of DNA-binding proteins. Overexpression of AHL15 in Arabidopsis thaliana delays developmental phase transitions whereas its loss of function causes a slight acceleration.
