De data-economie is gebaseerd op het verzamelen en verwerken van grote hoeveelheden gegevens over consumenten en hun gedrag. Zulke gegevens worden gebruikt om winstmarges te optimaliseren met behulp van (dynamische) prijsdifferentiatie voor verschillende consumenten.

Om de juiste klinische beslissingen te nemen of effectieve diagnostische testen en behandelingen te kunnen ontwikkelen, is het belangrijk om de onderliggende mechanismen van een aandoening of een bepaald gedrag te begrijpen.

1. To what extent do metallic NPs added to soil extractions change the activity, abundance, or community composition of microbes? 2. How do the effects of metallic NPs on soil microbes differ from the effects of the ions shedding from corresponding NPs?

Classical statistical methods, such as p-values, are difficult for researchers to apply correctly. They for example do not allow drawing conclusions from a study early, or for extending a study with extra research groups that want to make their data available later.

Natural resources often stretch across borders that separate modern nation states. This can create conflict and limit opportunities for regulated consumption of their goods and services, but also provide opportunities for joint multinational efforts that exceed single country capabilities.
