In dit artikel stelt Tom Buitelaar een systematisch kader voor om het effect van individuele kenmerken van vredeshandhavers op het gedrag van grondpersoneel bij VN-vredesoperaties te analyseren.

Fungal food spoilage often starts with a contamination with spores. Experimental data strongly indicate the existence of subpopulations of spores with different levels of resistance to preservation methods.

De auteurs presenteren een benadering voor het achterhalen van de voorkeuren van de bevolking voor gebruik in de optionele wegingstap in de Levenscyclusanalyse (LCA).

Agrobacterium tumefaciens, a gram-negative plant pathogen belonging to the family Rhizobiaceae, is the causative agent of crown gall disease, which can affect many plant species including agronomically important ones.

Barrier function is the natural role of the skin. The lipid matrix present in the outermost layer of the skin, the stratum corneum is important for this function.

The PID-directed shift in PIN polarity has been broadly accepted as one of the essential mechanisms for the regulation of auxin transport polarity.

In this Ph.D. thesis, we characterized two novel upstream regulators of JUB1, HB40, and HB22, in Arabidopsis thaliana. In Chapter 2, we described functions of HB40 in modulating growth and development via the regulation of JUB1 and GA inactivation genes GA2OXs.

Leidse onderzoekers ontdekten dat het eiwit annexine A1 een belangrijke rol speelt in uitzaaiing van borstkanker. Het reguleert de plasticiteit van cellen waardoor tumorcellen beweeglijk worden en kunnen uitzaaien. Dinsdag 23 maart publiceren ze hun resultaten in PNAS Online Early Edition.

Van waterzuiveringsinstallaties tot een lekkere warme douche, de CO2-uitstoot ten gevolge van het watergebruik in de VS staat gelijk aan dat van 50 miljoen auto’s die een jaar lang rondrijden. In The Washington Post raadpleegt journalist Tik Root verschillende experts om te leren over manieren om ons…

Marine sponges are important members of reef ecosystems, as they play ecological roles that are essential for the health of the reef.

The experiments described in this thesis employ local lentiviral knockdowns in brain areas of female zebra finches followed by behavioural assays consisting of preference and Go/Nogo tasks.

Gibbs measures, as used in Statistical Mechanics, have a definition that is remarkably similar to the definition ofg-measures, used in dynamical systems.

Bij sommige jongeren met suïcidale gedachten en gedragingen is er een subtiel maar significant verschil in de hersenstructuur, zo blijkt uit onderzoek. 'Het resultaat vertelt wellicht meer over de mechanismen bij suïcidaal gedrag in een specifieke subgroep', zeggen postdoctoraal onderzoeker Laura van…

Pectin is a plant cell wall polysaccharide made of mainly D-galacturonic acid (GA) subunits. The potency of the filamentous fungus Aspergillus niger to naturally secrete high amounts of pectinases to degrade pectin has been utilized for the industrial production of pectinases.

The thesis is about the study of shell evolution of the Hydrocenidae of the genus Georissa. This thesis started with a general overview on the evolutionary process of animals due to ecological changes.

Protonentherapie is een nieuwe manier om kanker te behandelen waarbij de bestralingsdoses preciezer worden afgegeven. Dit zorgt voor minder schade aan omliggend weefsel en minder bijwerkingen. Prof. dr. Marco van Vulpen is medisch directeur van HollandPTC in Delft waar wordt onderzocht wat de maatschappelijke…

Even though more than 4000 extra-solar planets are known today, only a small fraction of these has been captured in an image. To better understand the planet formation mechanisms in solar-like environments we started the Young Suns Exoplanet Survey (YSES).

This dissertation is about Bayesian learning from data. How can humans and computers learn from data?

How can we develop and further improve life cycle impact assessment methods, characterisation factors and normalisation factors?

This thesis presents the systematics, epidermal defense, and bioprospecting of wild orchids.

Can we distinguish the effects of pesticides from other abiotic and biotic factors that occur in the field? And how do these factors interact with pesticides?

In this thesis, the focus lies on studying glucocorticoid receptor dynamics in living cells with the aim of understanding how this transcription factor finds its DNA target sites to regulate transcription.

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

Anthropogenic noise has been shown to affect marine animals in various ways, this may have fitness consequences at individual and population level. This thesis aims to increase insight into the quantification of sound-induced behavioural responses that are relevant to fitness, and into factors that…

The research provides insight into disease behavior in both rural and semi-urban areas in Serengeti in Tanzania.

The aims of the project are to: further clarify 'inhibition by safety'; explore and describe all possible sagety factors, with a special focus on the primary human safety source: social connectedness; reviewing prolonged stress responses without stressors.

CT scanning of skeletal remains can tell us about how strong or weak a persons bones were and we can relate that back to diet, activity, and reproductive factors.

In this thesis, we aimed to better understand the underlying mechanisms involved in TNBC progression and metastasis formation and discover new targets to reduce breast cancer related deaths.

The progressive loss and degeneration of dopaminergic neurons is a major pathological hallmark of Parkinson's disease (PD). The onset and progression of PD can be triggered by multiple risk factors, for instance, genetic mutation, environmental exposure, and aging.
