Water is all around us and is vital for all aspects of life. Studying the various compounds and life forms that inhabit natural waters lets us better understand the world around us.

The main research question of this thesis was: Can nitrogen cycling on dairy farms on peat soil in the Dutch Green Heart area be improved by adapting management to the nitrogen supply from soil and by using other grassland species and crops without affecting milk production?

Solute carrier (SLC) transporters are a large and diverse class of relatively understudied transmembrane proteins.

Biodiversity enables ecosystems to thrive through the synergy of functional differences among organisms. While human well-being strongly depends on biodiversity-driven ecosystem services, human actions are also at the root of current unprecedented biodiversity declines.

Op 1 juli 2020 verdedigde Niek Strohmaier zijn proefschrift 'Making Sense of Business Failure'. Het promotieonderzoek is begeleid door promotoren prof.dr. J.A.A. Adriaanse en dr. H. Pluut.

Food security is challenged by a growing global population and by climate change. Drought and soil salinity are considered the most important ones that inhibit crop yield and distribution. Worryingly, climate change is predicted to increase not only their frequency and severity, but also their co-occurrence,…

De vier onderzoeksgroepen van het Mathematisch Instituut organiseren regelmatig inspirerende bijeenkomsten, zoals lezingen, colloquia en symposia.

Binnen het Mathematisch Instituut organiseert de onderzoeksgroep Algebra, Meetkunde en Getaltheorie diverse bijeenkomsten.

1: What is the relative importance of alfa and beta biodiversity in polar ecosystems, and how does intraspecific variation influence this? 2: How can we use remote sensing to determine functional biodiversity (within communities) in polar ecosystems? 3: Temporal and spatial scales of functional biodiversity:…

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

Pericytes, the mural cells of blood microvessels, are important regulators of vascular morphogenesis and function that have been postulated to mechanically control microvascular diameter through as yet unknown mechanisms.

Metal complexes and 2D materials like graphene were combined to produce structures that can function as sensors.

Het belangrijkste doel van dit onderzoek was het bevorderen van de aspecten van de symbol sense die studenten in staat stellen algebraïsche formules te doorzien en niet-standaard algebra problemen aan te pakken.

Dit onderzoek probeert een begrip van misfit te creëren, conceptuele kennis te vergroten, bestaande kennis te benadrukken en nieuwe onderzoeksrichtingen te schetsen.

The next generation of high-contrast imaging instruments on space-based observatories requires sophisticated wavefront sensing and control in addition to a high-performance coronagraph.

The European Council and the European Commission have a similar role in agenda setting. Both place issues on the EU agenda. However, these institutions have distinct designs. They have different political attributes (the European Council has considerably more political authority) and information-processing…

From 5 to 7 June, the conference "The Senses, Cognition, and the Body in Medieval Devotional Practices" will take place at the University of Padova. The conference programme can be found below. The conference can be attended virtually through the registration link below.

The marine shipping industry is one of the strongest emitters of nitrogen oxides (NOx), a pollutant detrimental to ecology and human health. Over the last 20 years, the pollution produced by power plants, the industry sector, and cars has been decreasing.

Does knowledge of environmental performance change farmer's behaviour?

On 5 and 6 june 2024, the conference The Senses, Cognition, and the Body in Medieval Devotional Practices is organised at the University of Padova. The organisers welcome abstracts for 25-minute papers in English or Italian, to be submitted by November 30.

Single-molecule spectroscopy has become a powerful method for using organic fluorescent molecules in numerous applications.

This thesis describes the development and validation of new high-contrast imaging techniques, with the ultimate goal of enabling the next generation of instruments for ELT-class telescopes to directly image Earth-like extra-solar planets orbiting around nearby stars.

Een leefbare aarde. Meer biodiversiteit. En verstandig omgaan met resources. Bij het CML willen we impact maken met ons onderzoek én onderwijs. Op deze website lees je hoe we dat doen.

De veertien partners van Economie071 hebben hun economische samenwerking verlengd tot 2020. De Universiteit Leiden is een van de deelnemers aan deze projectorganisatie, die als doel heeft om de regionale economie te stimuleren.

De ondernemersvereniging van het Bio Science Park sluit zich als vijftiende partner aan bij de Economische Agenda Leidse regio.

De onderzoeksgroep Digital Archaeology beheert twee computerlaboratoria voor verschillende doeleinden: een onderwijslab en een onderzoekslab.

Leidse fysici ontwikkelden een elegante meetmethode om supersnel elektrische geleiding in superdun materiaal te meten.

De vrouwenzaak staat weer op de agenda van de Universiteit Leiden. Dat was op 8 maart duidelijk in het Academiegebouw. Eerst een informele bijeenkomst met vrouwelijke Leidse hoogleraren en talenten, toen de 27e Annie Romein-Verschoorlezing. Over gelukkige en boze vrouwen.

A management strategy has been developed for field margins to reduce pesticide drift to non-target areas and to promote biodiversity on arable land. To this end, 3 and 6 m wide strips along the edges of winter wheat, sugar beet and potato crops have been left unsprayed with herbicides and insecticides…
