In this special edition of Information Polity there is a focus on the transparency challenges of using algorithms in government in decision-making procedures at the macro-, meso-, and micro-levels.

In this dissertation non-parametric Bayesian methods are used in the application of robotic vision.

What are the life-cycle environmental impacts and risks to human health and ecosystems of a III-V/Si PV system? How can these be expected to change when the system is deployed at industrial scale? What are the most favourable recycling scenarios?

The research described in this thesis has, using the zebrafish as a model system, shed new light on the intricate relationship between TB and DM2, in particular on the role of leptin, SHP-1 and glucocorticoids.

Als je Journalistiek en Nieuwe Media gaat studeren begin je de opleiding met een korte fulltime introductieperiode waarin je kennis maakt met de journalistieke beroepspraktijk en je studiegenoten.

This book focuses on transnationalism as a key concept to evaluate how Europe responds to cross-border security challenges.

Op 27 oktober aanstaande vindt in Rome het 7e congres georganiseerd door het Centre for European Company Law (CECL) plaats.

In this thesis, we aim to shed light on the diverse and often opposing roles of integrin α3β1 in cancer.

The outbreaks of AIDS and COVID-19 showed clearly how infectious viruses can influence people’s lives. Investigating the changes in the host metabolism may provide a paradigm shift to consider immune-metabolic interactions as therapeutic targets.

The field of science communication is very broad. Below is a list of organisations where SCS students can fulfill internships or where alumni have found jobs.

In the traditional theory of linear elasticity, superposition dictates that the response of a material does not depend on the sequence of the applied mechanical actuations.

Explaining treatment response variability between and within patients can support treatment and dosing optimization, to improve treatment of individual patients.

The intracluster medium (ICM) is a hot, tenuous and X-ray emitting gas that pervades galaxy clusters.

Dissochaeta Blume (Melastomataceae, tribe Dissochaeteae) is well-known as a scrambling plant genus found in Southeast Asia, where it is an inhabitant of the tropical rainforests or evergreen forests.

This thesis covers various applications of topology in condensed matter physics and quantum information.

This thesis focuses on amyloid proteins, a class of proteins that convert into amyloid fibrils.

Over the past years it has been discovered that the population of extra-solar planets is large and diverse.

Promotor: K.H. Kuijken

In this thesis, we consider various (electro)chemical phenomena at surfaces and nanoparticles and their underlying atomistic processes, which we studied using first-principles methods such as density functional theory.

How can we bridge the gap between experts and the general public?

The thesis focuses on synthesis strategies in oligosaccharide campaigns, and the influence of protecting groups.

My PhD research is devoted to studies of the conjectural cluster-algebraic symmetry in the theory of topological string, which is the simplest, however already non-trivial sector in the theory of string.

This thesis focused on the exploration of monolayer graphene as a membrane in direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) applications, with improvements achieved through plasma exposure or damage- free chemical functionalization.

Onderzoekers aangesloten bij het Leiden Leadership Centre zijn actieve leden van het PUPOL netwerk. PUPOL is een internationaal academisch netwerk voor publiek en politiek leiderschap.

This thesis has three main parts. The first part gives an algorithm to compute Hilbert modular polynomials for ordinary abelian varieties with maximal real multiplication. Hilbert modular polynomials of a given level b give a way of finding all of the abelian varieties that are b-isogeneous to any given…

This thesis describes the design, synthesis, and immunological evaluation of varying (neo)antigenic peptide conjugates containing either a TLR2 or a TLR7 agonist.

This thesis is about cosmological inflation and its relation to observations.

Migration imposes special pressures on the meaning, experience and organization of lifecycle rituals. These pressures are felt most strongly by Muslim migrants to Western Europe. In this innovative study, Nathal M. Dessing examines the effects of migration on the life cycle rituals of Moroccan, Turkish…

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is the substrate used for the introduction of the ubiquitous and highly dynamic PTM in which either one or multiple adenosine diphosphate ribose (ADPr) moieties are covalently attached to a nucleophilic side chain of an specific amino acid in the target protein…

Neuraminidases are enzymes that cleave glycosidic linkages of sialic acid. These enzymes are involved in influenza infections as well as in many cellular processes in mammals and micro-organisms.

In this thesis, we developed new ways to use a technique called electroextraction (EE) to extract charged molecules from one liquid into another using an electric field.

This minor combines the domains of design thinking and technology-enhanced learning and teaching with interdisciplinary group work.
