The focus of the dissertation

This thesis explores different avenues to develop insurmountable antagonists for CC Chemokine Receptors, such as CCR1, CCR2 and CCR5.

This thesis consists of two main parts. The first part (Chapters 2 and 3) deals with a class of Markov process called Quasi-Skipfree (QSF) processes.

For many system in statistical physics the microcanonical and canonical ensemble are equivalent in the thermodynamic limit, but not for all.

Plant exudates appeared long time ago in the history line of life in the early Devonian. They are typical saps produced by specialized cells.

It is a common technique in global optimization with expensive black-box functions to learn a surrogate-model of the response function from past evaluations and use it to decide on the location of future evaluations.

Arithmetic geometry concerns the number-theoretic properties of geometric objects defined by polynomials. Mathematicians are interested in the rational solutions to these geometric objects.

The overall theme of this thesis is to complement the electrochemical data acquired in fuel cell research with in situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS).

This thesis studies the geometry of representation varieties and character stacks. These are spaces parametrizing the representations of a finitely generated group, typically the fundamental group of a compact manifold, into an algebraic group G.

Gibbs measures, as used in Statistical Mechanics, have a definition that is remarkably similar to the definition ofg-measures, used in dynamical systems.

Building a Deep Cross-media Transfer Network to extract visual relations that relieve the problem of insufficient training data for visual tasks.

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

In a typical glycosylation reaction, a donor is activated to form a (variety of) electrophilic species which can react with a nucleophilic acceptor, following a reaction mechanism having both SN1 and SN2 character.

The focus of the described research in this thesis is on the oxidative stress response (Nrf2 pathway). The aim of the research presented in this thesis is to obtain more information concerning microRNAs which are involved in the Nrf2 pathway, to determine and evaluate the application of microRNAs for…

Electron microscopy has become an extremely important techniquein a wide variety of elds.

Heterogeneous catalysis is one of the fundamental processes of modern life, being common in industrial refinery and hydrogen vehicles, all the way to the living cell. The dissociation of H2 on Cu(111) is an important benchmark system for studying heterogeneous catalysis, with a large and varied amount…

Materials with strongly correlated electrons show some of the most mysterious and exotic phases of quantum matter, such as unconventional superconductivity, quantum criticality and strange metal phase.

Sustainable energy from wind and solar is most readily available near the sea.

A key step in the synthesis of oligosaccharides and glycoconjugates is the formation of the glycosidic bond.

Statistical considerations guide the design and implementation of the experiments that scientists perform. For instance, in a clinical trial about a the efficacy of a treatment, its effect in a certain minimum amount of patients has to be observed in order to make confident assertions about the efficacy…

In today's volatile market environments, companies must be able to continuously innovate. In this context, innovation does not only refer to the development of new products or business models but often also affects the entire organization, which has to transform its structures, processes, and ways of…

In september 2017 start de nieuwe Engelstalige bachelor Security Studies in Den Haag. Het onderwijsprogramma is uniek en is ontwikkeld door het Institute of Security and Global Affairs van de faculteit Governance and Global Affairs. Er is grote behoefte aan breed opgeleide academici in dit domein.

Tijdens je studie al voor een maatschappelijke opdrachtgever aan de slag: bij Urban Studies gebeurt dat. Voor het vak Urban Studies in Practice voeren derdejaarsstudenten projecten uit voor publieke opdrachtgevers, zoals de gemeente Den Haag.

Isabelle Duyvesteyn wordt de nieuwe opleidingsvoorzitter van International Studies. Per 1 september staat de hoogleraar aan het roer van de grootste opleiding van de Faculteit Geesteswetenschappen.

De opleidingen International Studies en Urban Studies hebben een nieuw adres. Na vijf jaar in het Wijnhavengebouw zijn ze verhuisd naar de Schouwburgstraat. ‘Het is goed om als Faculteit Geesteswetenschappen een eigen plek in Den Haag te hebben.’

De Werkgroep Italië Studies reikt jaarlijks een prijs uit voor de beste wetenschappelijke publicatie op het gebied van de Italië Studies aan een onderzoeker die werkzaam is vanuit de Nederlandse of Vlaamse academische wereld (ongeacht de nationaliteit van de onderzoeker).

De Faculteit Geesteswetenschappen van de Universiteit Leiden wil haar onderwijs op het gebied van de islam vernieuwen en verbreden. Dit betekent dat aandacht voor islamonderwijs blijft bestaan. Maar de zelfstandige bacheloropleiding Islamstudies wordt vanaf collegejaar 2014-2015 niet meer aangeboden…
