Waarom zijn transnationale en interculturele agenten zoals Henrich Carloff en Willem Leyel belangrijk voor de studie van de vroegmoderne expansie?

Galaxies form and live inside dark matter haloes. As a consequence, they are exposed to the tidal fields generated by the surrounding matter distribution: this imprints a preferential direction to the galaxy shapes, which leads to a coherent alignment on physically close galaxies, called intrinsic a…

When a star gets too close to a supermassive black hole, it is torn apart by strong tidal forces in a tidal disruption event (TDE).

Materials balances have been used in the recent past for the analysis of substance oriented environmental problems and the formulation of measures for environmental policy. In this study an integrated tool, based on the materials balance principle, has been developed for the analysis of both environmental…

De belangrijkste casestudy van het project is de culturele geografie van Sakkara, de necropolis van de oud-Egyptische stad Memphis, en de ontwikkeling daarvan.

In dit artikel onderzoeken de auteurs het concept van terugkerende gebeurtenissen, waarbij ze zich met name richten op het Eurovisiesongfestival.

Wat doe je als je iets te weten wilt komen? Tegenwoordig gebruikt men voornamelijk het internet om informatie te verkrijgen. Een lezer moet deze informatie vaak uit meerdere bronnen halen en die bronnen met elkaar in verband brengen, om zo een compleet plaatje te vormen van het onderwerp. Soms is de…

The work presented in this thesis is based on ALMA surveys of protoplanetary disks in three star-forming regions: Lupus, OMC-2, and NGC 2024.

Natural history collections provide invaluable sources for researchers with different disciplinary backgrounds, aspiring to study the geographical distribution of flora and fauna across the globe as well as other evolutionary processes.
