Traditional drug discovery approaches have been hampered by (in vitro) cell-culture models that poorly represent the situation in the human body.

Mycoheterotrophy is a particular mode of life in which plants obtain carbohydrates from their associated fungal partners, instead of by using photosynthesis.

This PhD thesis concerns the topic of arithmetic geometry. We address three different questions and each of the questions in some way is about counting how big some set is or can be.

As a non-invasive genetic method, eDNA based approaches have become an important component of ecologists' and environmental managers' toolkits for biomonitoring in conservation and an increasingly important source of ecological knowledge.

This thesis examines enzyme domain architecture and engineering to improve the breakdown of lignocellulose and starch, abundant biopolymers crucial for sustainable biofuel and biochemical production. Carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) facilitate this degradation, but the structural complexity of…

Pectin is a plant cell wall polysaccharide made of mainly D-galacturonic acid (GA) subunits. The potency of the filamentous fungus Aspergillus niger to naturally secrete high amounts of pectinases to degrade pectin has been utilized for the industrial production of pectinases.

This thesis applies data mining in commercial settings in the telecommunications industry.

Plants and their pollinators form complex interaction networks. Within these networks, species differ widely in the number of species they interact with.

Vandaag de dag liggen statistische methodes aan de grondslag van beslissingen in allerlei facetten van het leven, van de gezondheidszorg en agricultuur tot de financiële sector en marketing.

Fungal food spoilage often starts with a contamination with spores. Experimental data strongly indicate the existence of subpopulations of spores with different levels of resistance to preservation methods.

Classical statistical methods, such as p-values, are difficult for researchers to apply correctly. They for example do not allow drawing conclusions from a study early, or for extending a study with extra research groups that want to make their data available later.

To an algebraic curve C over the complex numbers one can associate a non-negative integer g, the genus, as a measure of its complexity.

Marine sponges are important members of reef ecosystems, as they play ecological roles that are essential for the health of the reef.

Let A be a commutative algebraic group over a field K, and let G be a finitely generated subgroup of the K-rational points of A. The purpose of this thesis is to study the degrees of the Kummer extensions relative to A,K and G.

This thesis describes the genetic and prokaryotic diversity of giant barrel sponges.

De masterclass is inleidend, en toegankelijk voor iedereen met interesse in wat het betekent om goed evaluatieonderzoek te doen. Kennis van methoden en technieken is niet vereist.

Science is typically a patchwork of research contributions without much coordination. Especially in clinical trials, the follow-up studies that we do fail to be the most promising.

Where does the urge to collect come from? What are the explicit or underlying reasons for gathering large amount of objects?

Animal diet studies are critical for understanding ecological processes such as trophic interactions, energy flow, and nutrient cycling. By examining what animals consume, ecologists gain insights into species specialization, predator-prey relationships, and ecosystem management.

​Het Verre gezicht biedt de lezer een fraaie staalkaart van de politieke en culturele relaties tussen Nederland en Azië, Afrika en Amerika.

Aspergillus niger is an important industrial producer of organic acids and enzymes producing large amounts of spent fungal biomass.

In this thesis integral points on affine del Pezzo surfaces are studied.

The recently introduced nature-originated deep eutectic solvents, so-called natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES) are considered as truly green solvents, which composed of natural ingredients found abundantly in organisms.

Statistical considerations guide the design and implementation of the experiments that scientists perform. For instance, in a clinical trial about a the efficacy of a treatment, its effect in a certain minimum amount of patients has to be observed in order to make confident assertions about the efficacy…

Globally and regionally, biodiversity is declining and there are shifts in species’ occurrences and functional traits.

Plants produce an astonishing variety of secondary metabolites (SMs) which are thought to play vital roles in the fitness of plants through ecological interactions.

Op 11 november 2021 verdedigde Mariana Gkliati het proefschrift 'Systemic Accountability of the European Border and Coast Guard'. Het promotieonderzoek is begeleid door promotoren prof.dr. P. Rodrigues en prof.dr. L. Besselink (UvA).

Comparative and Dutch Politics is one of the three organisational clusters of the Institute of Political Science.

Onderzoek vindt plaats binnen drie onderzoekscholen: Azië, Midden-Oosten en Religiestudies. Hierbinnen richten we ons op specifieke regio’s en onderwerpen zoals talen en culturen, erfgoed, en de menselijke digitale wereld.

Hoe zet Rusland propaganda in en wat kenmerkt Russische propaganda als het gaat om taal en argumentatie?

De afwikkeling van faillissementen lijdt geregeld onder een gebrek aan voldoende beloning voor faillissementscuratoren. Curatoren hebben in de praktijk vooral onvoldoende middelen om fraude te bestrijden, waardoor de kans bestaat dat fraude onbestraft blijft. Dit boek bevat de resultaten van het onderzoek…

Het doorvoeren van allerlei veranderingen, introduceren van nieuwe structuren, verdergaande regels en administratieve systemen lijken soms af te leiden van het bestaansrecht of de publieke opgave van de organisatie. Bovendien komt er meer erkenning voor de behoefte van medewerkers in publieke organisaties…
