Dit artikel wil een coherente basis bieden voor empirische studies naar interpersoonlijke discussies over risico's.

Which traits and/or trade-offs determine benefits of being deciduous or evergreen?

Organic molecules in interstellar space are important as they influence the structure of galaxies and star formations. Studying catalytic processes in space allows us to understand how molecular species are formed and chemically evolved in the interstellar medium and solar system objects.

In this Yearbook you will find some fascinating examples of what was done in 2021, not only by ourselves, but also by our international colleagues.

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

Op 8 februari 2024 vierde de Universiteit Leiden haar 449ste verjaardag.

Met trots kondigen we aan dat vanaf september 2022, zes nieuwe leden onze huidige groep van 23 leden komen versterken. Met genoegen verwelkomen we:

In astronomy, the interpration of observations and measurements plays a crucial role: we rely purely and fundamentally on the information that reaches us as observers. And 80% of all matter in the universe is undetectable directly.

Pseudomonas Aeruginosa is a Gram-negative bacterium which can form biofilms, increasing its resistance against antibiotics and the host immune system. Polysaccharides are an integral part of this biofilm, one of these polysaccharides is called Psl. PslG is a glycosidase, able to cleave this polysaccharide,…

One of the effects of climate change is the phenomenon of desertification, a process that occurs in semi-arid and arid areas and causes land degradation as well as vegetation loss. Due to the lack of resources, vegetation self-organizes to sustain itself by forming large-scale spatial patterns.

Begrijpen van het evoluerende landschap van extremisme in de 21e eeuw.

Outflows are crucially important for the gas budget and evolution of luminous star-forming galaxies and AGNs, with observed mass outflow rates of the same order as the star formation rate. Greater star formation and black hole growth lead to more intense feedback and outflows, resulting in self-regulated…

In this thesis, I study the formation of large-scale structure and the physics of particle acceleration at large scales (~Mpc).

What are the behaviours of plant traits throughout various points in the growing season in a radiative transfer model framework and how well can this knowledge be integrated through data assimilation to provide priors for robust local and global vegetation products and analysis?

Europese burgers worden geconfronteerd met uitdagingen op het gebied van globalisering, migratie, technologische ontwikkelingen en klimaatverandering. Deze uitdagingen vergen het uiterste van onderlinge internationale en intergenerationele solidariteit, wat rechtstreeks betrekking heeft op de grondslagen…

Sterrenkundigen onder leiding van John Tobin hebben dankzij nieuwe waarnemingen, verricht met de Amerikaanse Very Large Array-radiotelescoop (VLA), meer inzicht verkregen in het geboorteproces van meervoudige sterren.

Arabische planten, lezingen en workshops rond de Arabische keuken en cultuur. Het 400-jarig bestaan van de leerstoel Arabisch in Leiden is aanleiding voor de Hortus botanicus om zich de hele zomer van zijn Arabische kant te tonen. Start: 25 mei.

Even though more than 4000 extra-solar planets are known today, only a small fraction of these has been captured in an image. To better understand the planet formation mechanisms in solar-like environments we started the Young Suns Exoplanet Survey (YSES).

De eerste index om de veiligheid, duurzaamheid en circulariteit van producten te meten, waarmee ze het EU-kader (SSbD) operationaliseren.

Op 25 november 2020 verdedigde Sara Arendse haar proefschrift 'De uiterlijke verschijningsvorm in het strafrecht'. Het promotieonderzoek is begeleid door promotoren prof.mr. C.P.M. Cleiren en prof.mr. J.M. ten Voorde.

Bacteria have the ability to alter their morphology in order to adapt to changing environments.

This thesis focuses on amyloid proteins, a class of proteins that convert into amyloid fibrils.

Promotores: Prof.dr. F.P. Israel, Prof.dr. P.P. van der Werf

This thesis is an experimental study of the UV irradiation of the interstellar ice analogues, relevant for the different stages of the star and planet formation sequence.

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

In this thesis, we used genetically engineered mouse models to identify genes and pathways that are involved in ILC formation and in the development of resistance to FGFR-targeted therapy.

In this thesis, we aimed to better understand the underlying mechanisms involved in TNBC progression and metastasis formation and discover new targets to reduce breast cancer related deaths.

I have studied the hot, diffuse gas around and between galaxies. Specifically, I have used the EAGLE numerical simulations of galaxy formation to predict the properties of this gas, and I have used those properties to predict specific observables: soft X-ray absorption and emission lines.
