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…

The intracluster medium (ICM) is a hot, tenuous and X-ray emitting gas that pervades galaxy clusters.

The work presented in this thesis is based on ALMA surveys of protoplanetary disks in three star-forming regions: Lupus, OMC-2, and NGC 2024.

Prematurely born neonates require, amongst others, pharmaceutical therapy. Dosing guidelines for these therapies are often based on data from term born neonates or older infants, while these are not necessarily similar to prematurely born neonates.

Throughout the history of computer science, a major challenge has been how to assert that software is free of bugs and works as intended. Software bugs can lead to serious negative impacts on any software system. Throughout the main body of the thesis, we implemented a series of studies on exploring…

This thesis addresses the chemical processes that determine the compositions of giant planet atmospheres.

The investigations described in this thesis lay out strategies aimed at advancing antibiotic research and development. The examples presented revolve around two main approaches: understanding drug-target interactions and target identification.

What physics controls the properties of quantum matter, such as how electrons flow inside high-temperature superconductors? This question has captivated the physics community and industry for decades, in part due to the great technological potential such materials have, but also because they have resisted…

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.

In this thesis, we consider various (electro)chemical phenomena at surfaces and nanoparticles and their underlying atomistic processes, which we studied using first-principles methods such as density functional theory.

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 thesis explores how interstellar chemistry evolves as a function of time and changing physical architectures during the formation of stars.

In tien jaar tijd worden de gebouwen van de faculteit Geesteswetenschappen op het Witte Singel-Doelencomplex een voor een aangepakt. Het gerenoveerde P.J. Vethgebouw is in augustus 2017 in gebruik genomen. Begin 2020 werd de interne renovatie van het monumentale Arsenaal afgerond. In 2022 is gestart…

Stars like the sun are born in large molecular clouds existing from gas and dust. During the formation process, the chemical composition of the material can be altered drastically by the changing physical conditions.

De Universiteit Leiden bouwt aan haar toekomst in Leiden. Daarom investeert de universiteit de komende jaren ruim 100 miljoen euro in de vernieuwing van de gebouwen van de Faculteit Geesteswetenschappen, aan de Witte Singel en de Doelenzijde. Met deze nieuwe Humanities Campus, nauw verbonden met…

De Universiteit Leiden werkt aan een groene, circulaire campus, met een forse energiereductie in 2050 als doel, zoals uitgewerkt in de in 2022 verschenen Routekaart energietransitie gebouwen.
