Bas van Opheusden, student theoretisch natuurkunde, is de winnaar van de Janneke Fruin-Helb Beurs 2012. Van Opheusden schreef een voorstel voor een verblijf aan het gerenommeerde Amerikaanse onderzoeksinstituut Princeton University . Hij doet daar aan het institute for computational neuroscience een…

Inclusieve communicatie is van essentieel belang in een diverse samenleving. In een maatschappij waarin mensen van verschillende achtergronden, culturen en capaciteiten samenkomen, is het essentieel om communicatie te omarmen waarbij iedereen wordt gezien. Inclusieve communicatie gaat verder dan het…

In het Comenius-project ‘Religiewetenschappelijke Vakmethodiek’ ontwikkelen Markus Davidsen en Michaël van der Meer nieuwe werkmethoden voor het analyseren van religieuze teksten en rituelen.

Hoe kan de methode om de gecombineerde effecten van metaal-gebaseerde chemische stoffetn te bepalen worden verbeterd?

In de design fase werk je aan het onderzoeken van een slimme oplossing voor het probleem en het schrijven van een businessplan.

Low-mass main-sequence stars like our Sun are continuous sources of outflowing hot magnetised plasma. In the case of the Sun, this is known as the solar wind, whereas for other stars they are called stellar winds.

In de onderzoekslijn Geneesmiddelenonderzoek werken we voornamelijk met knaagdieren. Knaagdieren, zoals muizen, worden veel gebruikt als proefdier. Deze kleine zoogdieren zijn makkelijk te houden en planten zich snel voort.

Geen verplichting tot schadevergoeding bestaat, wanneer de geschonden norm niet strekt tot bescherming tegen de schade zoals de benadeelde die heeft geleden (artikel 6:163 BW). Maar hoe zou de rechter de relativiteit van een wettelijke norm moeten vaststellen?

A neuro-ecological perspective on adolescent prosocial development

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…

Heart failure is a major health care problem with high mortality.

In the CarbonCap project, consumption oriented technological options and policy measures are identified as an addition to the present EU and world climate policy.

The studies presented in the work show the potential of the integrative use of biophysical data in defining the structural basis of protein interactions.

In the early universe, the dynamics of the Higgs field can give rise to many interesting phenomena.

High-angular-resolution observations of the circumstellar material have uncovered numerous and very diverse substructures in protoplanetary discs, raising the question of whether they are caused by forming planets or other mechanisms.

During my PhD research, I studied the photon statistics of light emitted by a microcavity that contains a single quantum dot (QD) on resonance.

This thesis is devoted to an in-depth examination of the various effects of disorder in the cuprate high-temperature superconductors.

The main aim of my Ph.D. thesis is to further explore the value of using early developing zebrafish larvae (up to 5 dpf) as a model to study anxiety-like behaviour and their pharmacological modulation with drugs.

Gibbs measures, as used in Statistical Mechanics, have a definition that is remarkably similar to the definition ofg-measures, used in dynamical systems.

One of the effects of climate change is the phenomenon of desertification, a process that occurs in semi-arid and arid areas and causes land degradation as well as vegetation loss. Due to the lack of resources, vegetation self-organizes to sustain itself by forming large-scale spatial patterns.

Plant-microbe interaction resulted in different physio/chemical responses by host plant and interacting rhizobacteria.

This thesis addresses the chemical processes that determine the compositions of giant planet atmospheres.

My work focuses on a class of astronomical objects called protoplanetary disks.

The main focus of this thesis is the behaviour of two-dimensional materials, namely (anti)-ferromagnetic materials in the first two chapters, which show topological phases, and energetic square ice in the third and fourth chapter.

Hoe helpen demonstratie-experimenten in de klas leerlingen om te leren chemisch redeneren?

In this thesis, deep learning is studied from a statistical perspective. Convergence rates for the worst case risk bounds of neural network estimators are obtained in the classification, density estimation and linear regression model.

Bio-farmaceuten kunnen vanaf nu modelcodes en datasets uit een databank opvragen om de dosering en het effect van nieuwe medicijnen beter te kunnen voorspellen.
