In this dissertation, the synthesis and characterization of a series of iron complexes based on different ligand platforms are described.

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.

This thesis is about augmented reality (AR). AR is commonly considered a technology that integrates virtual images into a user’s view of the real world.

In this thesis, we present new laboratory data of interstellar dust analogues.

The project Multimedia Research and Documentation of African Oral Genres: Connecting Diasporas and Local Audiences (Director: D.Merolla) focuses on multimedia as technology that allows scholars to share documentation and scientific knowledge with the cultural owners of the collected oral genres.

Understanding how galaxies form, interact, and evolve comes largely from comparing theory predictions with observational data. Numerical simulations of galaxies provide the most accurate approach to testing the theory, as they follow the non-linear evolution of gas and dark matter in great detail and…

This dissertation presents new cryptographic protocols, which can be divided into two families.

This thesis presents pioneering work on the panchromatic emission of some of the most luminous galaxies in the early Universe: star forming galaxies and active galactic nuclei.

The formation and evolution of galaxies is fundamentally driven by the formation of new stars out of cold gas.

Following the Big Bang, structure in the Universe started collapsing under the force of gravity. This resulted in the formation of the first stars, galaxies and clusters of galaxies.

The applications of studying the early development of insects range from agriculture to material science.

Phosphorylation affects all four major biomolecules – proteins, lipids, carbohydrates and nucleic acids – and plays a pivotal role in the most fundamental cellular functions.

The investigations described in this thesis lay out strategies aimed at advancing antibiotic research and development. The examples presented revolve around two main approaches: understanding drug-target interactions and target identification.

Systems are called real-time systems, if the correctness of the system does not only depend on the correctness of the system output but also on whether the output is delivered on time.

The elementary excitations of magnets are called spin waves, and their corresponding quasi-particles are known as magnons. The rapidly growing field of Magnonics aims at using them as information carriers in a new generation of electronic devices, (almost) free of electric currents.

In this PhD-thesis several new and existing data science application are described that are particularly focused on applications for tax administrations.

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.

Radiography is an important technique to inspect objects, with applications in airports and hospitals. X-ray imaging is also essential in industry, for instance in food safety checks for the presence of foreign objects.

Streptomyces are prolific producers of enzymes and secondary metabolites, including more than 50% of all clinical antibiotics. This makes them highly attractive for medical, biotechnological, and industrial purposes.

One of the key quests in astronomy is to study the growth and evolution of galaxies across cosmic time. Radio observations provide a powerful means of studying the formation of stars and subsequent buildup of distant galaxies, in a way that is unbiased by the presence of dust.

In this thesis, I targeted the orchid genus Lepanthes, one of the six genera of angiosperms that surpasses 1,000 species in the Neotropics, as a study model to investigate the evolutionary processes that promoted species diversifications.

During the summer, we organize a summer school for researchers who want to learn about communicating science to diverse audiences. The summer school is aimed at researchers in any career stage who are new to science communication. The Summer School is open for all disciplines in science, including social…

Individuen die werken in de publieke sector zien zichzelf geconfronteerd worden met tegenstrijdige waarden, tegenstrijdige eisen en de noodzaak van het dienen van het soms moeilijk definieerbare publieke belang.

In this course, you will explore the organs involved in our food digestion and discover the common causes of abdominal and pelvic pain. The latest graphics and animations will give you new insights and understandings of this part of the body.

Peter Burger en Alexander Pleijter, beiden universitair docent Journalistiek & Nieuwe Media, werkten mee aan Factrank. Deze nieuwe online tool detecteert automatisch ‘checkbare’ uitspraken in transcripties van Kamerdebatten of tweets van politici.

Dit boek neemt je stapsgewijs mee in het schrijven van een scriptie, met (voornamelijk) een focus op experimenteel onderzoek, dat het meest veel voorkomt. Door de stappen van experimenteel onderzoek in chronologische volgorde op te splitsen en bij elke stap tips te geven, hopen de auteurs enig houvast…
