Sewer pipes are an essential infrastructure in modern society and their proper operation is important for public health. To keep sewer pipes operational as much as possible, periodical inspections for defects are performed.

With the help of quantum mechanics, digital quantum hardware may be able to tackle some of the problems that are too difficult for ordinary computers. But despite these expectations and the ongoing effort of the research community, reliable quantum computers are not yet realized in a lab setting.

Onlangs verscheen Een banier waar geen smet op rust: de geschiedenis van het trotskisme in Nederland, 1938 – heden van Ron Blom en Bart van der Steen over de ontwikkeling van het trotskisme in Nederland van 1938 tot nu.

The Standard Model (SM) of particle physics fails to explain several observed phenomena and is incomplete. In order to resolve this problem, one may extend the SM by adding new particles.

This thesis addresses the problem of designing performance and energy efficient embedded streaming systems, that is, systems which process a stream of input data coming from the environment and generate a stream of output data going into the environment.

The last decades it is increasingly recognized that acute as well as chronic postoperative pain is an important problem. Treatment and prevention of postoperative pain is a challenge, especially in special patient populations where there is only limited guidance on how to optimally use opioids.

In my research, we developed a method to distinguish knots. A knot is a mathematical depiction of the everyday knot that occurs in ropes and cords.

Mechanical metamaterials are man-made materials which derive their unusual properties from their structure rather than their composition.

Religion and ethnicity are inextricably linked in discourse within and about Central Asia. One common narrative suggests that as a result of differences between historically sedentary and nomadic populations, ethnic Tajiks and Uzbeks are naturally more religious and more likely to radicalise than their…

In this study the flows of PVC and its additives through the Swedish Society were followed from the cradle to the grave (from production to waste treatment).

This minor combines the domains of design thinking and technology-enhanced learning and teaching with interdisciplinary group work.

How can ecosystem services within river catchments be quantified in spatial and temporal explicit way?

The Economics and Governance specialisation of the Master in Public Administration teaches you to formulate problem-solving approaches to concrete policy issues found at the intersection between economics and public administration. This specialisation is a unique joint offering of the Department of…

Venus is de tweede planeet vanaf de zon en staat op 108 miljoen kilometer. Een jaar op Venus is korter dan op aarde en duurt maar 225 dagen. Doordat Venus heel langzaam om haar as draait, duurt een dag juist langer, wel 117 aarddagen! Op Venus is je alien dus elke twee dagen jarig.

De pas gepromoveerde Hao Wang van het Leiden Institute of Advanced Computer Science leert computers hoe je problemen in het dagelijks leven kunt oplossen. Zijn doel is om het proces van probleemoplossing efficiënter te maken. Op 1 november promoveerde hij met het predicaat cum laude. ‘Ik hoop moeilijke…

The thesis is part of a bigger project, the HEPGAME (High Energy Physics Game). The main objective for HEPGAME is the utilization of AI solutions, particularly by using MCTS for simplification of HEP calculations.

A neurocognitive investigation of the development of social performance monitoring in youth growing up in stressful versus non-stressful environments

In this dissertation non-parametric Bayesian methods are used in the application of robotic vision.

This thesis focuses on addressing four research problems in designing embedded streaming systems.

The research presented in this thesis concerns one of the most important questions in software engineering of our time: how can we make sure that software is free from memory safety bugs?

One of the major limitations in culturing complex tissues or organs is the lack of vascularization in the cultured tissue. Development of a functional capillary bed could overcome this problem.

This thesis mainly focuses on multimodal understanding and Visual Question Answering (VQA) via deep learning methods. For technical contributions, this thesis first focuses on improving multimodal fusion schemes via multi-stage vision-language interactions.

Dit onderzoek richt zich op geweld betreffende jongeren die in aanraking zijn gekomen met het jeugdstrafrecht en ten gevolge daarvan van hun vrijheid zijn beroofd en geplaatst in een gesloten setting (lees: opsluiting in een politiecel, voorlopige hechtenis en detentie na veroordeling).

We show that Kirchhoff ’s law of conservation holds for non-commutative graph flows if and only if the graph is planar. We generalize the theory of (Euclidean) lattices to infinite dimension and consider the ring of algebraic integers as such a lattice.

Like a mixture of oil and water, lipid membranes separate into two liquid phases.

The main theme of this thesis is the theoretical study of Gaussian processes as a tool in Bayesian nonparametric statistics.

My PhD research is devoted to studies of the conjectural cluster-algebraic symmetry in the theory of topological string, which is the simplest, however already non-trivial sector in the theory of string.
