This dissertation presents four separate chapters, all striving towards the same goal: to understand dynamic phenomena occurring in dynamic networks and to explore the emergence of equilibrium in a broad sense.

Veel docenten in het voortgezet onderwijs houden rekening met verschillen tussen leerlingen. Uit het promotieonderzoek van Saskia Stollman (ICLON) blijkt dat zij hierbij ruimte om te experimenteren en ondersteuning van de school(leiding) nodig hebben.

Wout Broekema benadrukt dat organisaties niet alleen leren van crises, maar ook vergeten, waarbij cruciale kennis en werkwijzen verloren gaan.

Individuen die werken in de publieke sector zien zichzelf geconfronteerd worden met tegenstrijdige waarden, tegenstrijdige eisen en de noodzaak van het dienen van het soms moeilijk definieerbare publieke belang.

Studievoorlichting

One of the major limitations in culturing complex tissues or organs is the lack of vascularization in the cultured tissue. Development of a functional capillary bed could overcome this problem.

Throughout the history of computer science, a major challenge has been how to assert that software is free of bugs and works as intended. Software bugs can lead to serious negative impacts on any software system. Throughout the main body of the thesis, we implemented a series of studies on exploring…

Hydrocarbonylation of alkenes with carboxylic acids in synthesis of carboxylic acid anhydrides is relatively less explored. We herein present a study and optimization of a palladium-catalyzed hydrocarbonylation reaction of alkenes using carboxylic acids as the nucleophile, by which acid anhydrides can…

Stars like the sun are born in large molecular clouds existing from gas and dust. During the formation process, the chemical composition of the material can be altered drastically by the changing physical conditions.

Food waste is a defining inefficiency of the modern food system, with profound implications for resource use, climate change, and circular economy transitions. This dissertation examines food waste through two complementary lenses: the prevention of avoidable food waste and the valorization of unavoidable…

In this course, you will explore the organs involved in our food digestion and discover the common causes of abdominal and pelvic pain. The latest graphics and animations will give you new insights and understandings of this part of the body.

Every organisms in the tree of life faces the same challenge: the length of its DNA exceeds the volume of the cell it needs to fit in. Several strategies have evolved to solve this problem, one of them being the expression of proteins that bind and organize the DNA.

Participants in this course will learn to support student teachers and new colleagues in their professional development as teachers, with particular emphasis on the context of bilingual or international education, as in the ICLON World Teachers Programme (WTP).

This thesis focuses on data found in the field of computational drug discovery. New insight can be obtained by applying machine learning in various ways and in a variety of domains. Two studies delved into the application of proteochemometrics (PCM), a machine learning technique that can be used to…

Whilst government’s ability to design ‘context-specific’ regional innovation policy is generally assumed to depend on the region’s decision-making power, the aim of this study is to investigate how regional government matters. In order to open up the black box of policy design, the study develops a…
