This thesis describes how complex and real-world relevant analytical solutions can be found starting from a simple Nagumo problem posed on one or two-dimensional lattices.

In this thesis we study bistable reaction-diffusion equations on lattice domains.

This thesis takes steps toward understanding the interaction between gas-phase and solid-state molecules in star- and planet-forming regions.

Het masterprogramma is officieel geopend door Z.E. Kees Klompenhouwer, de Nederlandse Ambassadeur in Tsjechië.

In this thesis, we study travelling waves in stochastic reaction-diffusion equations. We extend techniques from the deterministic theory for travelling waves to apply to the stochastic version, which allows us to compute the stochastic wave speed and shape, and draw conclusions on the stability of the…

What are the flows of C&DW (e.g. bricks, concrete, gypsum and wood) in the case study countries ? How to define the specification for each material to be quantified? What indicators should be used to identify the pattern of each C&DW management system? How to interpret the MFA results in relation…

Europese burgers worden geconfronteerd met uitdagingen op het gebied van globalisering, migratie, technologische ontwikkelingen en klimaatverandering. Deze uitdagingen vergen het uiterste van onderlinge internationale en intergenerationele solidariteit, wat rechtstreeks betrekking heeft op de grondslagen…

We consider the propagation of electrical signals through nerve fibres.

The Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics states that a measurement collapses a wavefunction onto an eigenstate of the corresponding measurement operator.

Stellar feedback is a crucial ingredient in the evolution of galaxies.

The majority (80%) of e-waste generated globally are recycled informally in developing countries.

Hoe worden nachtruimtes verbeeld, geproduceerd, ervaren en verteld door migrantengemeenschappen in Europa? Dit onderzoeksproject onderzoekt deze vraag in acht Europese steden: Aarhus, Amsterdam, Berlijn, Cork, Galway, Lissabon, Londen en Rotterdam.

OB associations are loose groups of young, massive stars. They constitute the last stage of the massive starformation process, and the context in which new stars are formed.

Material circularity and energy efficiency are highly relevant and intertwined issues for the transition towards a carbon-neutral and circular built environment. In the Netherlands, the building sector has been rendered a priority towards a circular and low-carbon society.

In Nederland bieden ongeveer 130 van de 700 middelbare scholen een tweetalige stroom aan. Toch is er nog maar weinig wetenschappelijk onderzoek naar CLIL (content and language integrated learning). Met haar proefschrift wil Evelyn van Kampen (promovendus bij het ICLON) bijdragen aan een beter begrip…

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.

In this course, we will focus on the fascinating history of the Arabic Medieval World. We will take you on a journey through the Middle Ages. All along, we will present you with historiographical debates and dilemmas and travel back and forth in time explaining to you how events of the past affected…

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

The zebrafish is a promising vertebrate model organism in early drug discovery and development.

The Vallesian, 11.1-9 Ma, was a special time in the Vallès-Penedes basin near Barcelona, where a biodiversity hotspot existed. Europe had a subtropical climate, with rhinos, forest giraffes, lions, hyenas, flying squirrels and primates.

This thesis focusses on the temperature structure in protoplanetary disks. The relation between structures seen in the dust and gas-phase molecules is investigated.

In astronomy, the interpration of observations and measurements plays a crucial role: we rely purely and fundamentally on the information that reaches us as observers. And 80% of all matter in the universe is undetectable directly.

Shape and biological function are tightly connected. Physical descriptions are used to connect the shape of a biological system with its function.

Metals surfaces form a group of effective catalysts for the reaction of small molecules such as hydrogen (H2).
