This thesis focuses on addressing four research problems in designing embedded streaming systems.

How do you engage society to stop biodiversity loss? How do you create political and social involvement to deal with climate change? And how do you balance the economic needs of industry with the negative effects of pollution? If you find these kinds of questions interesting, then this Pre-University…

Despite substantial progress in understanding tuberculosis (TB), the eradication of the TB epidemic is still far from reach.

Hoe kunnen we op een interdisciplinaire wijze de classificatie van migranten en mensen met een beperking bestuderen en onderzoekers van deze velden samenbrengen om raakvlakken met elkaar te vinden?

To answer questions that look beyond individual entities, network science studies the interactions taking place in complex systems. These complex systems can often have temporal information on when an interaction occurs.

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

Dit op casestudies gebaseerde Engelstalige boek over multivariate analyse voor gevorderde studenten in de geesteswetenschappen legt de nadruk op beschrijvende, exploratieve analyses van verschillende soorten datasets uit een breed scala van subdisciplines, waarbij het gebruik van multivariate analyse…

There is a need for alternative methods to replace, reduce and refine (3R) animal experimentation. Combining experimental data from high-throughput in vitro studies with in silico modeling is a promising approach to unravel the effect of chemicals on living cells and to gain a better understanding of…

This dissertation focused on computational methods based on first principles calculations using the Density Functional Theory (DFT) framework. Emphasis was laid on affordable methods that can provide a tradeoff between computational expense and accuracy.

Light-Harvesting Complex II (LHCII) is responsible for light absorption and excitation energy transfer in plants and photosynthetic algae, while in high light it undergoes conformational changes by which it quenches excitations to prevent photodamage.

Onderzoekers werken al eeuwen aan een atlas van het brein. Maar zelfs in 2017 zijn sommige hersenstructuren nog niet in kaart gebracht, met name in de hersenstam. In dit paper hebben we de test-hertest betrouwbaarheid gemeten van de enige MRI-scan die onderzoekers in staat stelt om de locus ceruleus,…

Data theory research on the analysis on the multidimensional data

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

Galaxies form and evolve through close interaction with their surroundings. As a result, the heavy elements ('metals') that are synthesized in stars, are found both inside and outside galaxies.

The aim of this thesis was to develop novel treatment strategies for different types of eye melanoma utilizing zebrafish models. We first establish orthotopic and ectopic xenograft models for uveal and conjunctival melanoma by engraftment of the immortalized cells derived from these tumors into zebrafish…
