The work in this thesis has been focused on two subjects. The first is the assembly of alginate oligosaccharides and the generation of building blocks for the enzymatic synthesis of alginate, and the second is the total synthesis of large fragments of the zwitterionic SP1 polysaccharide.

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

The use of increasingly large and diverse datasets to guide urban climate action has implications for how, and by whom, local governments are held accountable.

How can we bridge the gap between experts and the general public?

Balsaminaceae is a diverse plant family characterized by a huge floral morphological diversity.

In surface science there is great effort to move from studying simple, flat model surfaces in vacuum to investigating more complex model catalysts in gas environments (in situ). This thesis gives three examples of such studies using microscopy and spectroscopy.

In Europe a number of production and communication strategies have long tried to establish local products as resources for local development. At the foot of the Alps, this scenario appears in all its contradictions, especially in relation to cheese production. The Heritage Arena focuses on the saga…

De researchmaster Classics and Ancient Civilizations en de master North American Studies hebben het predicaat ‘Topopleiding’ gekregen van de Keuzegids Masters 2019. Deze onafhankelijke gids zet alle masteropleidingen per vakgebied bij elkaar zodat studiekiezers ze makkelijk kunnen vergelijken.

This series of seminars convenes researchers based in North America and Europe in order to inspire and further establish reflections about race, race-thinking, and racialization among scholars of late Antiquity and the Middle Ages. The first seminar will be held on Monday, October 19, at 12:00 EDT by…

The main objective of this thesis was to develop clinically relevant survival models for patients with high-grade soft tissue sarcoma of the extremities, in particular the development and validation of prediction models for use in clinical practice.

This thesis focuses on the study of transient and variable radio sources in the universe.

This Thesis shows discoveries in non-linear astrochemical kinetics as well as a deeper analysis of dark clouds chemistry.

This thesis explores interfacial conductance and electric field-effects in LaAlO3/SrTiO3 heterostructures.

In this thesis we study quantum transport phenomena on the nanometer scale, in two classes of materials: topological insulators with induced superconductivity and graphene superlattices.

Laboratory, observation and modeling work on the dissociation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in interstellar environments and the formation of new molecular species through the fragmentation process.

De masterspecialisatie History, Arts and Culture of Asia van de Universiteit Leiden is gericht op studenten die één of meer landen of regio’s in pre-modern, modern of hedendaags Azië willen bestuderen vanuit de geesteswetenschappen.

De masteropleiding Politics, Culture and National Identities, 1789 to the Present van de Universiteit Leiden geeft je de mogelijkheid om op een nieuwe manier Europese politiek en identiteit te onderzoeken.

In Nederland bieden ongeveer 130 van de 700 middelbare scholen een tweetalige stroom aan. Toch is er nog maar weinig wetenschappelijk onderzoek naar CLIL (content and language integrated learning). Met haar proefschrift wil Evelyn van Kampen (promovendus bij het ICLON) bijdragen aan een beter begrip…

In 2018, the number of mobile phone users will reach about 4.9 billion. Assuming an average of 5 photos taken per day using the built-in cameras would result in about 9 trillion photos annually.

This thesis presents the results of a study on the interfaces of insulating oxides with and without the insertion of a magnetic layer.

To an algebraic curve C over the complex numbers one can associate a non-negative integer g, the genus, as a measure of its complexity.

The soil-dwelling, filamentous bacteria of the genus Streptomyces are renowned for their production of useful secondary metabolites including antibiotics. The work described in this thesis provides new insights on the role and regulation of antibiotic production and resistance in these bacteria.

This thesis focus on the interaction between M dwarf stellar winds and Galactic cosmic rays and the possible effects on the habitability of exoplanets.

This dissertation consists of two parts, each of which considers a different research area related to random interval maps. In the first part we are interested in random interval maps that are critically intermittent.

The transition to electric vehicles (EVs) reduces vehicle emissions to combat climate change. EVs raise concerns regarding the production of lithium-ion batteries and related emissions; while batteries can also provide energy storage services for the electricity system.

Hydrogen fuel cells are expected to be pivotal in the energetic transition towards renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power. However, their industrial scalability is severely hindered by the high cost and degradation rate of platinum catalysts, one of their key components. Addressing this…
