This dissertation is about Bayesian learning from data. How can humans and computers learn from data?

The focus of this thesis is how stars like our Sun and planets like Jupiter, Saturn, and Earth are formed.

This thesis provides explicit expressions for the density functions of absolutely continuous invariant measures for general families of interval maps, that include random maps and infinite measure transformations, not necessarily number systems.

Stellar feedback is a crucial ingredient in the evolution of galaxies.

Single-molecule spectroscopy has become a powerful method for using organic fluorescent molecules in numerous applications.

In het hoger onderwijs zijn open leermaterialen beschikbaar die iedereen mag gebruiken, maar ze worden niet zo veel gebruikt.

Tin electrodeposition applications have rapidly evolved in the past 25 years.

The formation and evolution of galaxies is fundamentally driven by the formation of new stars out of cold gas.

Bacterial biocatalysis constitutes a sustainable alternative for high-value chemicals production by enabling the utilization of renewable feedstocks.

Centraal in dit proefschrift staat de idee dat jongeren het recht hebben betrokken te worden bij besluitvormingsprocessen over zaken die hen aangaan, zoals hun schoolopleiding, en dat jongeren serieus dienen te worden genomen in hun opvattingen en suggesties over deze zaken.

Hoewel de meerwaarde van stages in het bedrijfsleven in eerder onderzoek wordt onderschreven, is er nog niet veel bekend over hoe het leren van docenten tijdens hun stage plaatsvindt en hoe zij hun leerervaringen uit stages gebruiken voor hun nderwijs. Om een meer diepgaand inzicht te verkrijgen in…

The applications of studying the early development of insects range from agriculture to material science.

Geometric phases lead to a nontrivial interference result when an electron's different quantum mechanical paths choices encircle a magnetic coil in an Aharonov-Bohm experiment.

This thesis describes the use of bioorthogonal proteins in immunological settings. It provides an introduction towards the field of protein modification, which was used throughout the thesis for the expression of proteins containing unnatural amino acids.

This thesis consists of three papers that are centered around the common theme of Hausdorff uo-Lebesgue topologies and convergence structures on vector lattices and on vector lattices and vector lattice algebras of order bounded operators.

We consider the propagation of electrical signals through nerve fibres.

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.

Sheltering is an immediate human need and determines well-being andhealth.

Drug-target binding kinetics determine the time course of the central event in pharmacotherapy: Drug-target interaction.

Freshwater biodiversity has been threatened by eutrophication due to excessive nutrients in the environment. Releasing the freshwater species from such pressures requires efforts from industry and manufacturers to avoid emissions to vulnerable and high-risk regions.

Freshwater is an important resource, but at a great risk of species decline due to habitat loss, pollution and over-exploitation, and invasive alien species.

This thesis presents the systematics, epidermal defense, and bioprospecting of wild orchids.

Circumstellar discs are the reservoirs of gas and dust that surround young stars and have the potential to become planetary systems.

In dit proefschrift worden de attitudes, kennis, noteringsvaardigheden en beredeneerde praktijken van Nederlandse leraren in het voortgezet onderwijs met betrekking tot cultureel responsief lesgeven in een multiculturele klascontext onderzocht.

How do you make a technology sustainable that does not even exist yet? Well, by bringing together an interdisciplinary team of pioneering European experts right at the start and paying attention to sustainability right from the development phase.

This dissertation focuses on developing new mathematical and statistical methods to properly represent time-varying covariates and model them within the context of time-to-event analysis.

The different kinds of cultural perspectives on health and disease of the participants are related to their knowledge, beliefs, values and practices manifested in various forms of lifestyle in Indonesia. The cultural diversity of the population is also related to differences in health behaviour.

Heterogeneous catalyzed processes are highly significant to the chemical industry. Dissociative chemisorption (DC) of molecules on surfaces is always considered as a step with a high degree of rate control for heterogeneous catalysis.

When a star gets too close to a supermassive black hole, it is torn apart by strong tidal forces in a tidal disruption event (TDE).
