This thesis mainly extends the theory of positive operators on Riesz spaces to a setting of pre-Riesz spaces.

In this thesis we classify the pairs (p,G), where p is a prime number and G is a finite p-group possessing an intense automorphism, i.e. an automorphism that sends each subgroup of G to a G-conjugate, that is non-trivial and whose order is coprime to p.

Sound is everywhere in the marine environment and hearing is therefore a very important for stimuli for fish. They use sound for orientation and communication, during migration, aggregation and spawning, but also for detection of prey and predators.

This thesis deals with properties of Jacobians of genus two curves that cover elliptic curves.

Prof. mr. Benjamin Marius Telders, hoogleraar volkenrecht, stierf op 6 april 1945 in Bergen-Belsen aan vlektyfus. Voor en tijdens de bezetting was hij een voorbeeld van burgermoed. Hij streed tegen willekeur en onrecht.

Continuous optimization is never easy: the exact solution is always a luxury demand and the theory of it is not always analytical and elegant.

Surface plasmons (SPs) are surface waves at the interface between a dielectric and a good metal, and are formed by the interaction between light and the free electrons at the metal-dielectric interface. They provide strong field confinement for optical fields, opening new possibilities for enhanced…

Nieuw onderzoek van de National University of Singapore en Leiden laat zien dat chimpansees en bonobo’s net zoveel contrast in hun ogen hebben als mensen, waardoor ze gemakkelijk de richting van iemands blik kunnen volgen.

In this thesis we study the landscape of gravitational models which modify GR by introducing an additional scalar degree of freedom (d.o.f.) to source Cosmic Acceleration.

This thesis is concerned with the constitution of chiral responsive matrix assemblies that may undergo light-driven conformational changes and self-select vibrations to develop vibronic states for driving semi-classical coherent transfer with nearly 100% yield in a lossless NCAP process.

Het Nederlandse koloniale verleden in Indonesië heeft grote invloed gehad op de literatuur.

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

This thesis concerns the relation bettween the good reduction of Shimura varieties and the associated loop groups.

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.

Lysosomal acid glucosylceramidase (GBA1) is a lysosomal enzyme that degrades glucolipids with its main substrate being glucosylceramide (GlcCer). Defects in the GBA1 gene lead to glycosphingolipidosis Gaucher disease (GD), in which the hydrolysis of GlcCer is impaired and therefore, it accumulates in…
