Description of Development of a low cost technology for in-situ treatment of groundwater for potable and irrigation purposes (TiPOT) (2004 - 2007)

Het Instituut Pedagogische Wetenschappen voert onderzoek uit gericht op 6 deelgebieden die gezamelijk het domein dekken van de studie naar normatieve en niet-normatieve ontwikkeling van gedrag, emoties en leren vanaf de jonge kindertijd tot aan de periode van jong-volwassenheid.

Veel Nederlandse schaatsers en voetballers behoren tot de absolute wereldtop. Toch kunnen ze dankzij slimme statistische analyses wellicht nóg een beetje beter worden. De Universiteit Leiden werkt er samen met Delft en Amsterdam aan.

Review of new technical decisionsupport systems in the environmental field, and application in water management decission processes.

Vast, often populated, areas in dryland ecosystems face the dangers of desertification.

Writing an operational guide to the ISO standards for LCA and related sub-projects.

The challenge of achieving fast quantification in metabolomics is the presence of severe matrix effects during the MS analysis of complex samples.

Gold nanorods are biocompatible nanoparticles that present an excellent two-photon signal that can be used to get high spatial resolution inside living cells. Gold nanorods are photostable and therefore can be followed inside cells for long time, with possible applications as trackers in live cells.

This thesis describes the functional analysis of the Arabidopsis AHL15 gene.

The skin is our natural barrier and lipids are a key part of this barrier. In the outer skin layer, the stratum corneum (SC), lipids form a densely organized structure dependent on the composition of these lipids.

The deeper understanding of an organism's pathology is important for developing treatments. Over centuries of systematic research, clinical researchers have demonstrated that the more information they acquire about the cellular properties and their organisation in the tissue, the better they can understand…

Woensdag 14 juli publiceerden Nederlandse astronomen een primeur in vakblad Nature. Het was hen als eersten ter wereld gelukt om isotopen te ontwaren in de damkring van een exoplaneet. Een ontdekking die ons meer kan leren over het ontstaan van planeten. Verschillende media schreven over de bijzondere…

How do you make a technology sustainable that does not even exist yet? Well, by bringing together an interdisciplinary team of pioneering European experts right at the start and paying attention to sustainability right from the development phase.

What are the pressing issues of our time, and how can different disciplines come together to address them? Studium Generale and Leiden University College (LUC) present the Global Challenges series: events that bring together a researcher from LUC and an expert from another discipline to tackle a shared…

Automated Machine Learning (AutoML) is widely used to automatically build a suitable practical Machine Learning (ML) model for an arbitrary real-world problem, reducing the effort of practitioners in the ML development cycle for real-world applications. Optimization is a key part of a typical AutoML…

This work is dedicated to interpreting in cohomological terms the special values of zeta functions of arithmetic schemes.

This dissertation focused on computational methods based on first principles calculations using the Density Functional Theory (DFT) framework. Emphasis was laid on affordable methods that can provide a tradeoff between computational expense and accuracy.

Bacteriophages, or phages for short, are the most abundant biological entity in nature. They shape bacterial communities and are a major driving force in bacterial evolution.

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…

Human civilization consumes a huge amount of fossil fuels, which has resulted in an atmospheric CO2 level which has not been higher in over 800 millennia.

Herkennen huisartsen kinderen die (een verhoogd risico voor) angststoornissen hebben en is er een patroon dat kan helpen om kinderen met en zonder angststoornissen te onderscheiden in de huisartsenpraktijk?

Overall dispersion in LCA as result of inherent uncertainties, spread and unrepresentativeness.

Hydrogen fuel cells are expected to be pivotal in the energetic transition towards renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power. However, their industrial scalability is severely hindered by the high cost and degradation rate of platinum catalysts, one of their key components. Addressing this…

A sustainable resource management is an essential aspect to satisfy the current human needs without compromising the needs of future generations.

Wetland plants are distinguished from plants of other terrestrial ecosystems by their adaptations to specific habitat stresses, including waterlogged and flooding and the subsequent abundance of phytotoxic compounds.

Plants produce an astonishing variety of secondary metabolites (SMs) which are thought to play vital roles in the fitness of plants through ecological interactions.
