Has the industrial sector in China effectively been decarbonizing in recent years, across different regions and subsectors, and is it plausible that it will reduce its CO2 emissions in conformity with national and internationally pledged emission goals?

Materials balances have been used in the recent past for the analysis of substance oriented environmental problems and the formulation of measures for environmental policy. In this study an integrated tool, based on the materials balance principle, has been developed for the analysis of both environmental…

This thesis investigates the contribution of quantum computers to machine learning, a field called Quantum Machine Learning. Quantum Machine Learning promises innovative perspectives and methods for solving complex problems in machine learning, leveraging the unique capabilities of quantum computers…

Schaatscoach en bewegingswetenschapper Jac Orie legt al vijftien jaar alles vast over de prestaties van 'zijn' schaatsers. Dankzij datawetenschapper Arno Knobbe, die de verzamelde data op nieuwe manieren doorberekent, kan Orie zijn team nog slimmer trainen in de aanloop naar de Olympische Winterspelen…

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

E-health, wat heb je daar precies aan? Het LUMC en de Universiteit Leiden organiseerden er op 29 september een publieksdag over. De belangstelling was overweldigend.

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.

De Europese Unie heeft met de Green Deal ambitieuze en broodnodige klimaatdoelen geformuleerd. Maar de huidige geopolitieke spanningen en de energiecrisis maken de uitvoering ervan ingewikkeld. Zeven wetenschappers van de alliantie Leiden-Delft-Erasmus Universities (LDE) schreven daarom een white paper…

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.

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.

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

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…

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.

Alastair Reed, universitair docent bij het Institute of Security and Global Affairs (ISGA), is geïnterviewd door Devex, het mediaplatform voor de wereldwijde ontwikkelingsgemeenschap.

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…

Twee teams met taalwetenschappers deden onafhankelijk van elkaar onderzoek naar de identiteit van ‘Q’, de persoon van wie wordt verondersteld dat die de complottheorie heeft verspreid. Beide studies lijken te wijzen naar hetzelfde duo.

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…

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.

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

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?
