Ons onderzoek richt zich op de ontwikkeling van cognitieve processen die betrokken zijn bij leren en academische…

To this day, all cyclophellitol-based inhibitors and ABPs have been close analogues of their natural substrate counterparts. As a result, these probes showed high selectivity towards their target glycosidases.

De minor Creative Strategies for a Society in Change (CSSC) legt een verbinding tussen het verkrijgen van inzicht in creatieve maakprocessen en het verkennen van maatschappelijke problematieken die kenmerkend zijn voor onze tijd.

As a virtually inexhaustible source, solar energy plays a major role in future global energy scenarios.

Parkinson's disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disease in the world. One of its symptoms is the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta.

An important part of the SCS specialisation is the internship period. Students will get the opportunity to get to know the field and to apply what they have learned during the courses.

The sequence-dependence of biomolecular interactions involving nucleic acids and proteins is essential for numerous processes inside the cell. Insights into the underlying molecular mechanisms have been obtained using various biochemical and biophysical methods on two different levels — bulk and sin…

Doordat markten in toenemende mate zijn geïnternationaliseerd, zijn (sub-)nationale toezichthouders ook steeds vaker internationaal actief. Binnen vormen van internationale netwerksamenwerking wisselen deze toezichthouders onderling informatie uit en onderhandelen ze over internationale standaarden…

Diverse types of exoplanets such as gas giants on close-in orbits (hot Jupiters) and young massive giants on wide orbits (super Jupiters), with no analogs in the Solar System, pose challenges but also opportunities to our understanding of planet formation and evolution.

Deze uitgave is het eerste integrale overzichtswerk op het gebied van fraude en fraudebestrijding waarin wetenschappers én praktijkmensen de belangrijkste aspecten van fraude, fraudepreventie en fraudebestrijding analyseren. Erwin Muller en Pinar Ölcer, beiden werkzaam bij het Instituut voor Strafrecht…

Culturele Antropologie en Ontwikkelingssociologie in Leiden staat bekend om haar internationaal georiënteerde expertise. Met een breed scala aan theoretische, methodologische en regionale onderwerpen, biedt de opleiding een sterk gefundeerd en verdiepend programma.

The idea of citizens and public professionals collaborating to provide public services has widely spread in several countries around the globe. Co-production is often presented as the go-to solution for challenges like a legitimacy crisis of both the government and the market, and financial concerns.…

Mapping the neural mechanisms underlying social motivations of adolescents and adults

This thesis is dedicated to the exploration of the primordial dark ages: unknown physics during the earliest stages of the Universe’s expansion that have not yet been directly probed by observations. Cosmic inflation is a burst of exponential expansion of space after the “Big Bang”.

This thesis examines the link between simple molecules and the underlying structure and chemistry within protoplanetary disks - the birthplaces of planets.

The recently introduced nature-originated deep eutectic solvents, so-called natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES) are considered as truly green solvents, which composed of natural ingredients found abundantly in organisms.

The intradermal administration route is attractive for vaccine delivery, because of the highly populated antigen-presenting cells in the skin. However, the skin’s main physical barrier, the stratum corneum, prevents vaccines from entering the skin.

Interactive exploration of large volumes of data is increasingly common, as data scientists attempt to extract interesting information from large opaque data sets. This scenario presents a difficult challenge for traditional database systems, as (1) nothing is known about the query workload in advance,…

Plants, are sessile organisms, have developed strategies to adapt to changes in their environment, in part by altering their growth and development.

With the energy transition toward a renewable energy supply and a CO2-neutral economy, electrification of the energy system is rising in importance, which leads to the challenge of long-term storage of renewable electricity.

The aim of this project was to estimate emissions from lead products-in-use for the past, the present and the future and assess the development of toxicological risks associated with these products.

In de Faculteit der Sociale Wetenschappen is de verwevenheid van onderzoek, onderwijs en impact vanzelfsprekend.

Nanodiscs are small, disc-shaped structures designed to mimic biological cell membranes, composed of a lipid bilayer stabilized by scaffold proteins. Membrane proteins play crucial roles in essential processes such as nutrient and waste transport, molecular recognition, and cell signalling, making them…

Circumstellar discs are the reservoirs of gas and dust that surround young stars and have the potential to become planetary systems.

Cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) is a powerful technique used to visualize the inside of cells and to study specific protein complexes. Within this thesis, I describe the use of various cryo-EM techniques to gain insight into the structural changes of the human pathogen, Vibrio cholerae, as it…
