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…

Open Science en Erkennen & Waarderen komen samen in dit universiteitsbrede programma.

The origin and evolution of galaxies are closely linked to many different physical phenomena.

The European Council and the European Commission have a similar role in agenda setting. Both place issues on the EU agenda. However, these institutions have distinct designs. They have different political attributes (the European Council has considerably more political authority) and information-processing…

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…

Het is voor scholen in toenemende mate een forse uitdaging om uitval van docenten op te vangen. Het lerarentekort benadrukt het belang van een ondersteunende werkomgeving en sterke binding tussen docent en school.

In this thesis chemical and physical processes in the ice mantles on interstellar dust grains are studied.

Accurate prediction of the unbound drug concentration-time profile at the CNS target site is crucial for the assessment of the right drug concentration-effect relationship. PBPK models have supported the PK prediction of the CNS target sites and the translation of PK data between species and between…

In this thesis, we developed new ways to use a technique called electroextraction (EE) to extract charged molecules from one liquid into another using an electric field.

Autopaghy is an intracellular degradation system which targets cytosolic components to lytic compartments for degradation and recycling of the building blocks of the cell.

Op donderdag 9 november is Reijer Passchier gepromoveerd op zijn proefschrift over ‘informal constitutional change’. Zijn promotor is Professor Wim Voermans.

This thesis focuses on two processes involved in fighting infections: metabolism and immune cell motility and navigation.

Software development is a complex process. It is important that software products become stable and maintainable assets.

This thesis advance our understanding and the application of molecular catalysts relevant to the reduction of oxygen as well as reduction of nitrite.

This thesis investigates the evolution and fate of gaseous exoplanets, which are continuously shaped by stellar activity across both short and long timescales.

The idea of citizens and public professionals collaborating to provide public services has widely spread in several countries around the globe. Co-production is often presented as the go-to solution for challenges like a legitimacy crisis of both the government and the market, and financial concerns.…

Radio jets are important to the evoultion of galaxies. However, it is still not fully understood how a radio jet can be triggered.

Galaxies in the Universe are distributed along the intricate framework of the Cosmic Web. Groups and clusters of galaxies comprise the densest regions in this network, and therefore, are excellent cosmic laboratories to study different aspects of galaxy evolution in extreme environments.

The thesis is about the study of shell evolution of the Hydrocenidae of the genus Georissa. This thesis started with a general overview on the evolutionary process of animals due to ecological changes.
