Hoe leefden mensen tijdens de nieuwe steentijd? Dankzij een NWO subsidie van 650.000 euro kan Annelou van Gijn en haar team daar de komende jaren in Vlaardingen uitgebreid onderzoek naar doen. Naar aanleiding van het nieuws over de subsidietoekenning schreven verschillende media over het onderzoek.

Na het ontvangen van je diploma van LUC, kun je als alumni overal ter wereld heen. Velen die je voor zijn gegaan hebben ervoor gekozen om een master als vervolgopleiding te doen. Sommigen beginnen meteen aan hun professionele carrière of volgen een PhD. Door de vele academische vakgebieden die op LUC…

The main topic of this PhD thesis is the Arakelov ray class group of a number field, an algebraic object that contains both the ideal class group structure and the unit group structure.

Neuraminidases are enzymes that cleave glycosidic linkages of sialic acid. These enzymes are involved in influenza infections as well as in many cellular processes in mammals and micro-organisms.

n this thesis we study curves. In the first half, we study moduli spaces of curves and Gromov-Witten invariants, certain kinds of curves counts. We employ logarithmic geometry for this.

Kinase inhibitors are key therapeutic agents, particularly in oncology, yet their clinical efficacy is often hampered by off-target effects and limited understanding of their cellular target profiles.

This thesis focusses on the temperature structure in protoplanetary disks. The relation between structures seen in the dust and gas-phase molecules is investigated.

We investigate the buildup of galaxies from various vantage points. The first two chapters focus on the stellar content of galaxies, especially the distribution of stellar masses at birth and potential variations therein in various galactic environments.

We present an extensive study of methods for exactly solving stochastic constraint (optimisation) problems (SCPs) in network analysis. These problems are prevalent in science, governance and industry.

A modern ship design process is subject to a wide variety of constraints such as safety constraints, regulations, and physical constraints.

Patterned detectors are an existing technology that can be found in almost all color cameras.

The main aim of this thesis was to unravel the signaling and regulatory networks that drive tumor cell migration during breast cancer metastasis.

Cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of death worldwide. The most important risk factor for developing this disease is high cholesterol levels in the blood.

Plants are colonized by an astounding number of microorganisms that can provide different life-support functions, including nutrient acquisition and protection against (a)biotic stresses like drought or pathogen attack.

This thesis discusses several questions regarding the double ramification cycle as a Chow class on the moduli space of stable n-pointed genus g curves using tools from so-called logarithmic geometry.

Time-series forecasting through modelling sequences of temporally dependent observations has many industrial and scientific applications. While machine learning models have been widely used to create time-series forecasting models, creating efficient and performant time-series forecasting models is…

In today's volatile market environments, companies must be able to continuously innovate. In this context, innovation does not only refer to the development of new products or business models but often also affects the entire organization, which has to transform its structures, processes, and ways of…

A century ago, it was unclear whether the stars in the sky were clustered in groups, or widely spread in the universe.

Majorana fermions in superconductors are the subgap quasiparticle excitations that are their own antiparticles.

Streptomyces bacteria are a valuable source of natural products, many of which are used in the clinic or in biotechnology.

Several single-stranded RNA viruses make use of Xrn1-resistant RNAs in their 3’ untranslated regions of their genome RNAs in order to increase their pathogenicity.

The redox-conversion reaction of metal-disulfide and metal-thiolate complexes are important, as they may shed light on electron-transfer reactions that often occur in Nature.
