Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are the most abundant class of organic compounds in space. The PAH field evolves from the constant interaction between experimentalists, theorists, modellers and observers. While laboratory research and quantum chemical calculations together set up the molecular…

This thesis consists of two main parts. The first part (Chapters 2 and 3) deals with a class of Markov process called Quasi-Skipfree (QSF) processes.

De auteurs zoeken en beoordelen systematisch relevante definities van Security by Design (SbD) in vergelijking met Privacy by Design (PbD).

The research aims to explore the evolutionary adaptability of enzymes and the impact of temperature on protein evolution pathways, using M. tuberculosis β-lactamase BlaC as the object of study. Enzymes inherently embody a delicate balance between activity and stability, and the acquisition of new enzymatic…

Detecting nanoscopic objects plays an important role in nanoscience in particular, in the rapidly growing field of nanobiology. The forebear to modern super-resolution microscopy for single molecule investigation, is fluorescence microscopy.

As a member of the Research School you can take part in join-in courses. Join-in courses are MA-courses in medieval topics given in set MA-programs of the six participant universities of the Research School. These courses allow you to further specialize in certain topics.

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

The research described in this thesis has, using the zebrafish as a model system, shed new light on the intricate relationship between TB and DM2, in particular on the role of leptin, SHP-1 and glucocorticoids.

Veel docenten in het voortgezet onderwijs houden rekening met verschillen tussen leerlingen. Uit het promotieonderzoek van Saskia Stollman (ICLON) blijkt dat zij hierbij ruimte om te experimenteren en ondersteuning van de school(leiding) nodig hebben.

Metal complexes and 2D materials like graphene were combined to produce structures that can function as sensors.

This PhD-thesis presents a study on micron-sized particles, so-called colloids. By controlling the chemical and physical properties of these particles, such as the interparticle interaction and the particles’ shape, colloids can act as building blocks that self-assembly into larger structures.

Irene Khan, expert op het gebied van mensenrechten, werpt een aantal vragen op: Wat kan men verstaan onder een ‘Culture of Justice’? Wie bepaalt wat 'Justice' is? Hoe realistisch is de bevordering van ‘Rule of Law’ en ‘Justice’ in landen waar sprake is van ernstige conflictsituaties en armoede?

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…

This thesis discusses the discovery potential of Intensity Frontier experiments.

There is no heritage without emotional sharing and clashing. This article explores the involvement of divergent emotions in heritage making by discussing the debate series of Imagine IC and the Reinwardt Academy and zooming in on the commemoration of slavery and imagery of ‘Black Pete’ in the Netherlands.…

Inverse problems are problems where we want to estimate the values of certain parameters of a system given observations of the system. Such problems occur in several areas of science and engineering. Inverse problems are often ill-posed, which means that the observations of the system do not uniquely…
