The endocannabinoid receptors CB1R and CB2R are involved in a plethora of processes, and consequently are involved in many pathological conditions. Their wide distribution makes the CBRs both an interesting therapeutic target and hard to study.

In this thesis, deep learning is studied from a statistical perspective. Convergence rates for the worst case risk bounds of neural network estimators are obtained in the classification, density estimation and linear regression model.

Het doel van dit proefschrift is om eerst te onderzoeken welke vormen van samenwerkend leren bij de verschillende conservatoria in de praktijk worden gebracht, om vervolgens te kijken naar hoe samenwerkend leren kan worden geïmplementeerd.

Hoe kunnen mentoren en sociaal werkers de beroepsidentiteit van risicojongeren stimuleren en daarmee hun toekomstperspectieven verbeteren?

Around the world, mindfulness has become big business. This course combines conventional scholarly inquiry from multiple disciplines with experiential learning to provide a responsible, comprehensive, and inclusive education about mindfulness as a contemporary phenomenon.

In deze dissertatie onderzoekt Galikyan hoe de multidimensionaliteit van gegevens over interactie tussen studenten en de veelzijdigheid van deze interactie van invloed zijn op de meting van interactie tussen studenten in digitale leeromgevingen.

In this dissertation several settings in the Online Learning framework are studied. The first chapter serves as an introduction to the relevant settings in Online Learning and in the subsequent chapters new results and insights are given for both full-information and bandit information settings.

During the course of drug discovery translational steps are made.

Dissociative chemisorption is an important reaction step in many catalytic reactions.

CMLCA is a software tool that supports the technical steps of the Life Cycle Assessment. The focus of the program is on advanced computational aspects of life cycle inventory calculations.

The focus throughout this thesis will be on gathering fundamental studies of the detailed structure and composition of the electrode/electrolyte interface effect on the rate and mechanism of key electrocatalytic reactions.

Time-series forecasting through modelling sequences of temporally dependent observations has many industrial and scientific applications. While machine learning models have been widely used to create time-series forecasting models, creating efficient and performant time-series forecasting models is…

Lesgeven is een complex beroep. Docenten nemen veel beslissingen, bijvoorbeeld over wat ze onderwijzen, hoe ze dit gaan onderwijzen en hoe ze hun lessen kunnen aanpassen aan de behoeften van leerlingen. Dit vraagt een voortdurende ontwikkeling van nieuwe kennis en vaardigheden om expertise in alle facetten…

In this thesis, we show how MRFM can usefully contribute to the field of condensed-matter.

For each living organism health is ensured by correct functioning of its cells. Cells therefore have elaborate methods for regulation of their proteins.

The LOFAR radio telescope produces petabytes of data every year. Radio Astronomers use complex multi-step pipelines to process this data and produce scientific images.

Industrial manufacturing processes, such as the production of steel or the stamping of car body parts, are complex semi-batch processes with many process steps, machine parameters and quality indicators.

Een gebrek aan mannelijkheid, geldzuchtig of te verbeeldingsrijk zijn. Dit zijn slechts een paar beschuldigingen waarmee Britse wetenschappers ruim honderd jaar geleden elkaar in diskrediet brachten. Promovendus Léjon Saarloos deed onderzoek naar Britse wetenschappers rond het jaar 1900 en hun idee…

In this thesis, we aim to shed light on the diverse and often opposing roles of integrin α3β1 in cancer.

Molecular complexes can be used as electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction, water oxidation, and/or hydrogen peroxide production.

Assessing the risks of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) solely on the basis of experimental assays is time-consuming, resource intensive, and constrained by ethical considerations (such as the principles of the 3Rs of animal testing). The adoption of computational toxicology in this field is a high p…

This thesis takes steps toward understanding the interaction between gas-phase and solid-state molecules in star- and planet-forming regions.

1. To what extent do metallic NPs added to soil extractions change the activity, abundance, or community composition of microbes? 2. How do the effects of metallic NPs on soil microbes differ from the effects of the ions shedding from corresponding NPs?
