What invertebrates are available to feed nestlings in an agricultural landscape of varied complexity?

What is the current relevance of the ethics of counterterrorism and what is the added value of ethics support within the practice of counterterrorism?

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are the most abundant class of organic compounds in space. The PAH field evolves from the constant interaction between experimentalists, theorists, modellers and observers. While laboratory research and quantum chemical calculations together set up the molecular…

A plasma is an ionized gas with very low electrical resistivity. As such, magnetic field lines are 'frozen in' and move with the fluid. Magnetic field lines that are linked, knotted and tangled, cannot be undone by the fluid motions.

De programmagroep Leer- en Gedragsproblemen in het Onderwijs is verantwoordelijk voor onderwijs op het gebied van leerproblemen binnen de bachelor- en masteropleidingen van het Instituut Pedagogische Wetenschappen.

De onderzoeksgroep Governance of Crises bestudeert fenomenen, dynamieken en actoren die te maken hebben met crisisgovernance. Het Crisis Research Center (CRC) van de Universiteit Leiden maakt deel uit van deze onderzoeksgroep.

The research aims to explore the evolutionary adaptability of enzymes and the impact of temperature on protein evolution pathways, using M. tuberculosis β-lactamase BlaC as the object of study. Enzymes inherently embody a delicate balance between activity and stability, and the acquisition of new enzymatic…

The database research community has made tremendous strides in developing powerful database engines that allow for efficient analytical query processing.

This thesis explores Breaking of Ensemble Equivalence (BEE) in random graph models by examining the spectral properties of adjacency matrices. The goal is to identify spectral characteristics that differentiate random graph ensembles, enhancing the understanding of complex network structures and beh…

The main research question of this thesis was: Can nitrogen cycling on dairy farms on peat soil in the Dutch Green Heart area be improved by adapting management to the nitrogen supply from soil and by using other grassland species and crops without affecting milk production?

The research in this thesis is focused on tomographic reconstruction based on two imaging modalities in electron microscopy.

Atherosclerosis is the main underlying pathology of cardiovascular disease. Atherosclerosis is caused by an immune response which is directed against (modified) lipoproteins which accumulate in the vessel wall.

With the help of quantum mechanics, digital quantum hardware may be able to tackle some of the problems that are too difficult for ordinary computers. But despite these expectations and the ongoing effort of the research community, reliable quantum computers are not yet realized in a lab setting.

The research described in this thesis focused on the use of bioorthogonal antigens to investigate immunological processes in antigen presenting cells. Bioorthogonal antigens are antigenic proteins produced through recombinant expression in a methionine auxotrophic E. coli strain.

Historische migratiestudies hebben zich lange tijd voornamelijk gericht op de Europese en Atlantische wereld. In dit programmatische langetermijnproject willen we het perspectief verbreden naar de volledige migratie-ervaring van de niet-westerse wereld.

Dit artikel geschreven door Marieke Liem & Alexander Kamprad onderzoekt de relatie tussen terrorisme en interpersoonlijk geweld. Ze voerden cross-nationale analyses uit over de effecten van mortaliteitscijfers voor het terrorisme op moordcijfers. Uit de resultaten bleek dat terrorisme sterk en positief…
