Optical cavities are useful tools to enhance the interaction between light and matter, which is important to make good quantum emitters. However, it turns out that the cavities themselves (without any quantum emitters) are already interesting objects to study.

Op donderdag 16 november 2017 is Thomas Leclerc gepromoveerd op zijn proefschrift ‘A Corrective Approach to Reduce Aircraft Greenhouse Gas Emissions. Contribution to the Study of Interactions between Legal Orders of International Law’. Zijn promotoren zijn prof.dr. P.M.J. Mendes De Leon en prof. L.…

In this thesis, we will utilize embryonic zebrafish tumour models to understand the interaction between engrafted human cancer cells and macrophages from the host, test drug administration modalities and anti-cancer efficacies of newly-developed PDT and PACT compounds, and test a light-triggered liposomal…

Developing methodes to understand the evolution of patches in natural ecosystems

Does the presence of Ring-necked parakeets negatively influence feeding and feeding behaviour of native bird species on artificial bird feeders and if so, what are possible solutions?

How should jurisdictions, both on the national and on the supra-national level, handle the interaction between public and private law where it regards the regulation of financial markets?

Schimmels die zich in vanilleplanten nestelen, spelen een rol bij het ontstaan van de smaak en geur van vanille. Dat blijkt uit onderzoek van Shahnoo Khoyratty van het Instituut Biologie Leiden. Promotie op 27 oktober.

Wij verrichten onderzoek op onder meer het terrein van het rechtspersonen- en vennootschapsrecht en het insolventierecht.

Current therapies for patients with atherosclerosis are targeted primarily on reducing blood cholesterol, but this fails to prevent a large number of cardiovascular events.95 In order to identify new therapeutic strategies for treating atherosclerosis, it is important to study the interactions between…

The studies in this thesis are focused on the physical effects in the flat band materials. The results contain the discovery of strong enhancement of RKKY spin-spin interactions with specific geometric arrangement and dynamical generation of excitonic order parameter with high magnitude.

We showed that constitutive and inducible chemical and morphological defenses against Western flower thrips differ between tomato and chrysanthemum plants.

Make more fluid: In condensed matter systems, electrons can acquire unusual properties from their interaction with the atomic lattice.

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.

In this thesis I describe the results of Pulsed Interleaved Excitation and Fluorescence (Cross) Correlation Spectroscopy (PIE-F(C)CS) combined with single-pair Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (spFRET) used to study dynamics in single nucleosomes, which depends on subtle differences in the length of…

The aim of this thesis is to present novel techniques for proving cryptographic schemes secure against quantum adversaries. Most results are within the context of an idealized model called the ‘quantum random-oracle model’.

In this work the reconstruction of a tau neutrino signal in the KM3NeT detector is discussed.

In this book liposomes are explored as delivery system for allergen-specific immunotherapy. Both cationic and anionic formulations are prepared with Bet v 1, one of the allergens in birch pollen.

Het Sport Data Center doet onderzoek binnen vijf thema's.

Langs de randen van de Afrikaanse Serengeti groeide de bevolking de afgelopen tien jaar met vierhonderd procent. Het aantal wilde dieren daarentegen nam drastisch af. Van sommige diersoorten bleven er minder dan een kwart over. Ecoloog Michiel Veldhuis onderzoekt of het tij nog te keren is. Hij vertelde…

Development of scenarios for 2050 detailed in an IO framework

De natuur is een onuitputtelijke inspiratiebron voor de wetenschappers van het Instituut Biologie Leiden (IBL). Vanuit het streven naar fundamenteel begrip van de natuur zoeken zij naar oplossingen op het gebied van gezondheid en behoud van de biodiversiteit. Het thema van het instituut is ‘Harnessing…

SEAtrans: an interdisciplinary research project that aims at studying the dynamics and processes of transitions in society-nature interactions in Southeast Asian societies.

How and to what extent the historic house (re-)constructs identity through image-making in China.

What is the population size/structure and distribution of tiger and leopard inside the Bardia National Park (BNP) compared with the population outside? What is the movement and home range and conflict pattern in time and space of tigers and leopards inside the BNP compared with outside? What constitutes…

In this thesis, bioorthogonal chemistry is combined with correlative light-electron microscopy to selectively label and study pathogenic intracellular bacteria within the host immune cell.

This thesis is a collection of experimental attempts to enhance photoluminescence of fluorescent molecules and quantum dots with single gold nanorods (GNRs) and relevant applications.

The Sun and all the stars in the night sky reside in the Milky Way galaxy. In the at-rest reference frame of the Galaxy, typical stars travel with velocities of about 100-200 kilometres per second.
