Wat zijn de gevolgen van maatschappelijke trends zoals vergrijzing, individualisering en internationalisering voor regelgeving en instituties op het terrein van sociale zekerheid, pensioenen en de arbeidsmarkt?

How can we quantify the density of species within a community through environmental DNA concentrations?

Integrating life cycle assessment (LCA) with life cycle costing (LCC) offers the opportunity to simultaneously analyze the environmental and economic aspects of product alternatives, for the integration of which a unified computational has been proposed by Heijungs et al. (2013) [1]. The project aims…

Understanding how galaxies form, interact, and evolve comes largely from comparing theory predictions with observational data. Numerical simulations of galaxies provide the most accurate approach to testing the theory, as they follow the non-linear evolution of gas and dark matter in great detail and…

This dissertation is about Bayesian learning from data. How can humans and computers learn from data?

Cancer is considered the silent pandemic of the 21st century and the second leading cause of death worldwide.

Cardiovascular syndromes are the major cause of death in Western societies.

Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is one of the main reasons for drug attrition during pre-clinical and clinical phases of drug development as well as for drug withdrawal post-marketing.

De meeste kinderen leren pas op de middelbare school Frans. Hoe leuk is het als ze al wat Franse woorden leren en kennismaken met de Franse cultuur op de basisschool? Dat kan via deze kennismakingslessen, gemaakt door studenten van de Universiteit Leiden.

Software development is a complex process. It is important that software products become stable and maintainable assets.

This thesis is about the study of hydrocarbons via infrared spectroscopy.

In this thesis we investigated the ability of two-photon multifocal microscopy for single-molecule microscopy in live cells and organisms.

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

This work describes the use of click-to-release chemistry to get spatiotemporal control over immunocytokine activity. Until now, immunocytokines (cytokines coupled to a tumor-targeting-moiety) remained active throughout the body, being able to bind their respective receptors, causing mild to severe…

Synthesis and application of chemical biology tools to study immunomodulatory signaling lipids.

Epithelial-mesenchymal plasticity (EMP) and tumor cell migration play an important role in cancer progression, and an improved understanding of the mechanisms underlying these concepts is essential for developing new targeted approaches.

Our recent excavations have focused on the more recent New Kingdom/Late Period (ca. 1500-332 BCE) material.

All crested and marbled newts (the genus Triturus) suffer from an unusual genetic abnormality, called a balanced lethal system, that kills exactly half of their offspring. How can a trait so disadvantageous have survived millions of years of natural selection?

The invention of neural networks marks a critical milestone in the pursuit of true artificial intelligence. Despite their impressive performance on various tasks, these networks face limitations in learning efficiently as they are often trained from scratch.

In this thesis we classify the pairs (p,G), where p is a prime number and G is a finite p-group possessing an intense automorphism, i.e. an automorphism that sends each subgroup of G to a G-conjugate, that is non-trivial and whose order is coprime to p.

Atherosclerosis is the most prominent underlying pathology of cardiovascular disease and an important cause of major adverse cardiovascular events.

The filamentous bacteria Streptomyces are widespread inhabitants of terrestrial soils.

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…

How presence, abundance and enzymatic activities of AM and EM fungi differently affect soil carbon sequestration processes?

The parabolic Anderson model (PAM), which is the Cauchy problem for the heat equation with random potential. The PAM is a mathematical model that describes how mass (i.e. matter or energy) flows in a medium in the presence of a field of sources and sinks.

Combinatorial games are games for two competing players, moving in a turn-by-turn fashion, in which there is no chance nor hidden information⁠. Chess, checkers and the simpler tic tac toe are well-known examples of this class of games, as well as game of go⁠.
