CMLCA is a software tool that supports the technical steps of the Life Cycle Assessment. The focus of the program is on advanced computational aspects of life cycle inventory calculations.

Anthropogenic change is reshaping ecological systems, raising concerns about increasing transmission of infectious diseases. Among these, mosquito-borne diseases may be particularly sensitive to environmental change, as their transmission depends on vector populations.

Carbohydrates are present on the surface of bacteria making them suitable antigen candidates for vaccine development. This thesis deals with the synthesis of two carbohydrate-based components; the capsular polisaccharide of S. aureus type 5 and teichoic acids from staphilococci and enterococci speci…

In this thesis chemical and physical processes in the ice mantles on interstellar dust grains are studied.

The research group Science Communication and Society aims to understand how science communication works to improve the interaction between science and society. Central themes are ‘Bridging the gap between experts and the general public’ and ‘Evaluating Science Communication’.

This thesis explores squaramide-based supramolecular polymers and hydrogels, enhancing their mechanical strength for 3D cell culture.

The work in this thesis demonstrates how to obtain an atomic-scale picture of a diverse set of complex surface structures observed using STM, under disparate conditions.

In the traditional theory of linear elasticity, superposition dictates that the response of a material does not depend on the sequence of the applied mechanical actuations.

Like a mixture of oil and water, lipid membranes separate into two liquid phases.

The disease acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is characterized by fast progression and low survival rates.

In this PhD study, I aim to deepen our understanding of the influence of major mycorrhizal types, namely arbuscular mycorrhizae (AM) and ectomycorrhizae (EM), on the global soil carbon cycle and their potential distribution changes under future environmental shifts.

This dissertation aims to advance understanding of amoeboid single cell migration under the influence of changing physicochemical environmental properties. The particular focus is on the relatively unknown influence of differing physical properties in the extracellular environment, such as the migratory…

Dit deelproject pleit voor een nauwkeurige en forensische reconstructie van de financiële stromen van en naar de Sovjetrepublieken in Centraal-Azië in de naoorlogse periode.

The progressive loss and degeneration of dopaminergic neurons is a major pathological hallmark of Parkinson's disease (PD). The onset and progression of PD can be triggered by multiple risk factors, for instance, genetic mutation, environmental exposure, and aging.

The ability to count is a property not often attributed to materials, despite the abundance of memory in materials. Regardless of how a material stores information, it is often difficult to retrieve exactly ‘what’ a material remembers.

In 2019 startte LUGO een petitie met het verzoek om een ambitieuze duurzaamheidsvisie voor 2030. Deze petitie is geformuleerd op basis van wat LUGO haalbaar achtte in plaats van op de beperkingen van nu. Wij vinden dat duurzaamheid een van de kernwaarden moet zijn van het volgende centrale beleidsplan…

Modeling and analysis of cyber-physical systems are still challenging. One reason is that cyber-physical systems involve many different parts (cyber or physical), of different nature (discrete or continuous), and in constant interaction via sensing and actuating.

Het Leiden Leadership Centre doet onderzoek naar de ontwikkeling van doeltreffend publiek leiderschap binnen en tussen organisaties. Op basis van onze onderzoeks- en ontwikkelagenda “Verder met Publiek Leiderschap” richten we ons op publiek leiderschap in verbinding met de publieke context, maatschappelijke…

Enkele keren per jaar organiseert het Europa Instituut een ‘Meet the Author’ bijeenkomst. In het kader van deze nieuwe lezingenreeks komen externe academici naar Leiden om te spreken over een recente publicatie. ‘Meet the Author’ bijeenkomsten vangen aan met een gesprek tussen een lid van het Europa…

Het Leiden Leadership Centre is een internationale en interdisciplinaire netwerkorganisatie. In onze aanpak brengen we mensen met verschillende achtergronden en diverse perspectieven samen

Het LAK biedt fotografie voor beginners en gevorderden aan. Tijdens de fotografiecursus verken je de mogelijkheden van de camera en leer je de basisprincipes van de belichting en elementaire vormgevingsaspecten. Tijdens de gevorderdencursus ligt de nadruk op creativiteit en inspiratie en ontwikkel…

Het onderzoeken van medische experimenten op mensen in de koloniale periode in Zuidoost-Azië.

The basic program comprises a total of twelve courses organized by the Research School, that have been purpose-developed for training and support of PhD students and Research MA students who specialize in Medieval Studies (history, art history, and literary history, in particular).

We have studied shape with a particular focus on the zebrafish model system. The shape is an essential appearance of the phenotype of a biological specimen and it can be used to read out a current state or response or to study gene expression.

Empirisch en experimenteel onderzoek dat zich richt op literair, juridisch, medisch en audiovisueel vertalen.

Computational thinking, programming, and algorithms form the basic of many of the things that are shaping our world, the way we work, interact, organize ourselves, and even spend our free time with social networks, streaming media, and games. And this transformation is far from being complete, it is…

Stars and planets form within cold, dense clouds of gas and dust drifting through interstellar space. Although dust makes up only a small fraction of this material, it plays a key role in shaping the chemical evolution of these environments.

Carbonaceous asteroids preserve a record of early solar system processes, where minerals and organic molecules, like polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), offer clues to planetary evolution and prebiotic chemistry.

Astronomical observations of cold regions in the universe show a rich inventory of ices. Part of these ices may end up on planets like our own, but in that journey they will be exposed to considerable amounts of radiation.

Every organisms in the tree of life faces the same challenge: the length of its DNA exceeds the volume of the cell it needs to fit in. Several strategies have evolved to solve this problem, one of them being the expression of proteins that bind and organize the DNA.

This thesis describes how to scale down concepts of macroscopic mechanical metamaterials to the thermal scale using a system of flexibly-linked colloids.

One of the most important correlation functions in physics, especially in cosmology, is the energy density, which describes how much energy is present at each point in spacetime due to matter fields. A key contribution to the energy density of the primordial universe comes from gravitational waves (GWs),…

Large areas of space are filled by molecular clouds that consist of gas and dust grains that are the remnants of dead stars. When these clouds start collapsing, the decreasing temperature and increasing density cause gas particles to start accreting onto dust grain surfaces.

Advanced sensing techniques require graphene with high quality and well-controlled surface chemistry.

During embryonic growth, cells proliferate, differentiate, and collectively migrate to form different tissues at the right position and time in the body.
