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?

Announcement of the publication of Vamping the Stage: Female Voices of Asian Modernities, the first book-length study of women, modernity, and popular music in Asia (University of Hawai'i Press, 2017).

The soil-dwelling, filamentous bacteria of the genus Streptomyces are renowned for their production of useful secondary metabolites including antibiotics. The work described in this thesis provides new insights on the role and regulation of antibiotic production and resistance in these bacteria.

Let A be a commutative algebraic group over a field K, and let G be a finitely generated subgroup of the K-rational points of A. The purpose of this thesis is to study the degrees of the Kummer extensions relative to A,K and G.

The aim of this thesis is to present novel techniques for proving cryptographic schemes secure against quantum adversaries. Most results are within the context of an idealized model called the ‘quantum random-oracle model’.

This thesis represents a comprehensive investigation into the control of cancer stemness and metastatic initiation using a combination of advanced zebrafish xenograft models and in vitro assays.

Het Multistakeholder Global Governance (MGG) Project is een vierjarig project dat onderzoekt in hoeverre en onder welke omstandigheden multistakeholderconstructies van mondiaal bestuur goed functioneren in termen van capaciteit, effectiviteit en legitimiteit.

Van zelfrijdende auto’s tot innovatieve medicijnontwikkeling, kunstmatige intelligentie (AI) gaat ons leven op uiteenlopende manieren fundamenteel veranderen. Onze computerwetenschappers bestuderen de technologie op een diep en fundamenteel niveau. Maar we zoeken ook naar medische toepassingen en antwoorden…

Op welke manier ontwikkelt de ‘rule of law’ zich in Westerse samenlevingen in het licht van de opkomst en verspreiding van diverse digitale technologieën en hoe kan de rule of law invloed hebben op het gebruik en de verspreiding van deze technologieën.

GLOBALINT is een baanbrekend onderzoek naar inlichtingendiensten in het ‘mondiale Zuiden’. De centrale vraag is ‘hoe beïnvloeden (on)democratische verschuivingen in politiek bestuur de inlichtingendiensten in de context van gewelddadig conflict?’

Quantum computing is an emerging technology, which holds the potential to simulate complex quantum systems beyond the reach of classical numerical methods.Despite recent formidable advancements in quantum hardware, constructing a quantum computer capable of performing useful calculations remains challenging.In…
