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

The electrochemical oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is an essential half-reaction for the utilization of hydrogen as a sustainable fuel, via the conversion of hydrogen to electrons and protons facilitated by the ORR. In the most common fuel cells, the ORR is requires high loadings of non-abundant platinum…

In my research, I used a comparative wood anatomical approach to address wood evolution of the (largely) tropical flowering plant families Apocynaceae and Sapotaceae.

In this thesis, we have studied the potential of the zebrafish larval model in studying the ECS, as a complementary model to the existing rodent models.

A remarkable population of short period transiting rocky exoplanets with equilibrium temperatures on the order of 2,000 K has recently been discovered.

Three major cosmology-focused missions are planned for the next decade: the Euclid space telescope, the Vera C. Rubin Observatory in Chile, and the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope.

Sepsis is a life-threatening condition caused by a dysregulated host response to infection, it is associated with significant morbidity, mortality, and with a high financial burden on global healthcare systems. Bacterial infections are the primary cause of sepsis, but the growing prevalence of antimicrobial…

Optical projection tomography (OPT) is a tomographic 3D imaging technique used for specimens in the millimetre scale.

In multi/many-core System-on-Chips (SoCs), the performance is almost linearly scaling with the number of processing elements.

This dissertation presents the results of the importance of creativity for ICT-students of Dutch universities of applied sciences (in Dutch: hogescholen), and the functioning of training courses that aim to promote creative abilities is highlighted.

Streptomyces present a valuable platform for natural product discovery. Lugdunomycin is a novel angucycline-derived polyketide from Streptomyces sp QL37, with unprecedented skeleton and antimicrobial activity.

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.

An interdisciplinary collection of the best international scholarship on Muslim youth.

Thermodynamics is one of the founding scientific pillars that has helped us better understand heat engines, biology, ecosystems, and even black holes. While it fundamentally describes large systems by examining the bulk behavior of their constituents, it is anchored in the statistical equivalence of…

Internet is een goede plek om snel veel data te vergaren. Maar wie niet oppast, verzamelt sterk gekleurde en eenzijdige data. Daarvoor waarschuwden de sprekers op een symposium op 5 maart over transparante en verantwoorde datawetenschap.

We explored how to morphologically classify well-resolved jetted radio-loud active galactic nuclei (RLAGN) in the LOw Frequency Array (LOFAR) Two-metre Sky Survey (LoTSS) using machine learning.

The studies presented in the work show the potential of the integrative use of biophysical data in defining the structural basis of protein interactions.

This thesis focuses on the X-ray spectral analysis of merging galaxy clusters and the plasma code development for future high-resolution X-ray spectroscopy observations.

This thesis describes the Multi-site All-Sky CAmeRA (MASCARA), which consists of two small robotic telescope designed to detect exoplanets around the brightest stars in the sky.

Studievoorlichting, Proefstuderen

Aleydis Nissen en Rik Raedschelders kregen van het onderzoeksnetwerk van het Bureau van de Europese Unie voor de Grondrechten (FRANET) de opdracht om het 2022 rapport over racisme, xenofobie en aanverwante onverdraagzaamheid in België te schrijven.

Astronomen hebben met de James Webb Space Telescope mogelijk atmosferische gassen ontdekt rond 55 Cancri e, een hete rotsachtige exoplaneet die 41 lichtjaar van de aarde is verwijderd. Dit is het beste bewijs tot nu toe voor het bestaan van een atmosfeer van een rotsachtige planeet buiten ons zonnestelsel.…

Op 5 januari 2018 geeft mr.dr.ir. Bart Custers, hoofd onderzoek bij eLaw, het centrum voor recht en digitale technologie van de Universiteit Leiden een lezing over (monetaire) waarde van persoonsgegevens op de International Conference on Big Data and Smart Computing (ICBDSC 2018) in Casablanca, Mar…

uman skin equivalents (HSEs) are in vitro 3D-skin models that mimic many aspects of the native human skin (NHS) and can be a valuable tool.

Real-life processes are characterized by dynamics involving time. Examples are walking, sleeping, disease progress in medical treatment, and events in a workflow.

De ziekte van Alzheimer en kanker zijn twee voorbeelden van ziektes die verband houden met slecht functionerende cellulaire patronen. Het onderzoek van celweefsel neemt echter veel tijd in beslag en levert bovendien veel gegevens op. Om de analyse van gegevens te vergemakkelijken ontwikkelden Antonios…
