Cholesterol influences many pathways, including serving as precursor for adrenal steroidogenesis. Imbalance of cholesterol levels has been implicated in several diseases including cardiovascular diseases and its underlying pathology, atherosclerosis.

On a structural level, the properties featured by a majority of mechanical metamaterials can be ascribed to the finite number of soft internal degrees-of freedom allowing for low-energy deformations.

With increasing carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere and their detrimental effect on the global climate, modern society needs to push for more renewable energy sources. Storing widely accessible and abundant solar energy in chemical bonds in the form of molecular fuel via artificial photosynthesis…

We strive to address the challenge of constructing a modeling language to write software which can take advantage of recent hardware developments (multicore, cloud) without compromising in its abstraction levels.

This thesis systematically studies the physicochemical properties of non-planar, propeller-shaped, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. The synthesis of several so-called propellerenes is described on a gram scale, using optimized procedures aimed at using less hazardous reagents and reducing the amount…

The project falls in the context of the EU Thematic Strategy on the Sustainable Use of Natural Resources (COM(2005)670). The Institute for Environment and Resources (IES) of the Joint Research Centre (JRC) has developed three sets of decoupling indicators. Such indicators require the definition of a…

The Economics and Governance specialisation of the Master in Public Administration teaches you to formulate problem-solving approaches to concrete policy issues found at the intersection between economics and public administration. This specialisation is a unique joint offering of the Department of…

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

The studies in this thesis are focused on the physical effects in the flat band materials. The results contain the discovery of strong enhancement of RKKY spin-spin interactions with specific geometric arrangement and dynamical generation of excitonic order parameter with high magnitude.

Dit proefschrift behandelt de vraag of er een level playing field is tussen Europese beleggers die beleggen in EU-beleggingsinstellingen en Europese beleggers die beleggen in Amerikaanse beleggingsinstellingen en, als dit niet het geval is, of de Europese wetgever aanvullende regelgeving zou moeten…

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

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

The research described in this thesis combines the latest insights in lysosomal function with lysosome centred cell signalling.

Onze samenwerkingsovereenkomsten bieden zowel studenten als medewerkers de kans om een periode in het buitenland te verblijven en zo hun horizon te verbreden. Ook fungeren de overeenkomsten regelmatig als basis voor onderzoeksprojecten of andere samenwerkingsvormen.

Wat zijn belangrijke thema’s in de sociale en geesteswetenschappen die het verdienen om door de EU te worden gefinancierd? Dat was de vraag waarover decanen van 21 Europese onderzoeksuniversiteiten, verenigd in de LERU, zich op 20 en 21 maart in Leiden bogen.

De League of European Research Universities (LERU) doet aanbevelingen voor de toekomst van het Social Science en Humanities Research (SSH) in Europa. Dit onderzoek is van vitaal belang voor het opbouwen van een innovatief en veerkrachtig Europa.
