This thesis combines field and laboratory studies to address some of the most pressing questions in the field of microplastic research.

Heterogeneous catalysis is one of the fundamental processes of modern life, being common in industrial refinery and hydrogen vehicles, all the way to the living cell. The dissociation of H2 on Cu(111) is an important benchmark system for studying heterogeneous catalysis, with a large and varied amount…

Metals surfaces form a group of effective catalysts for the reaction of small molecules such as hydrogen (H2).

De afdeling Politiek en Bestuur van het Instituut Bestuurskunde richt zich op de complexe interactie tussen politiek en bestuur. We onderzoeken actuele thema’s zoals de impact van wereldwijde crises, populisme, en polarisatie op verschillende niveaus van de overheid.

Recentelijk is een Special Issue van de European Journal of Criminology verschenen, die is samengesteld door Marieke Liem, Universitair Docent Criminologie bij het Instituut voor Strafrecht & Criminologie, en William Pridemore.

Atherosclerosis is a progressive disease resulting in the formation of an arterial plaque. Despite lipid lowering, recurrent cardiovascular events remain a risk. While atherosclerosis is primarily lipid-driven, the immune system plays a critical role in the pathophysiology.

Fundamental understanding of molecular reactions on metal surfaces is important for improving heterogeneous catalysis.

Sound is everywhere in the marine environment and hearing is therefore a very important for stimuli for fish. They use sound for orientation and communication, during migration, aggregation and spawning, but also for detection of prey and predators.

Hydrodesulfurization (HDS) is an ubiquitous part of oil refining that ensures that fuels are cleaned of impurities and environment release of pollutants such as SOx and NOx gasses are minimized.

Tomography is a powerful technique to non-destructively determine the interior structure of an object.Usually, a series of projection images (e.g.\ X-ray images) is acquired from a range of different positions.

LIACS is a partner in RISE_SMA, an interdisciplinary, international network combining excellent scholars and practitioners to enable vigorous knowledge sharing and to develop solutions for contemporary challenges for Social Media Analytics (SMA).

All life on earth contains DNA, which is used to store biological information. Organisms compact their DNA in order for it to fit inside their cell(s).

This thesis concerns the relation bettween the good reduction of Shimura varieties and the associated loop groups.

Although nanoparticles are extensively used in various applications like consumer products and have most probably entered the environment, little is known about the effects of these particles on living organisms.
