Development of indicators to assess decoupling of economic development and environmental pressure in the EU-25 and AC-3 countries.

Staten hebben sinds de zeventiende eeuw het wettelijke recht gemonopoliseerd om oorlog te voeren. Ons wordt verteld dat deze regeling heeft gezorgd voor een zekere basisstabiliteit in de internationale betrekkingen. Maar is dit wel zo? Dit project stelt dit klassieke verhaal ter discussie en maakt de…

The main aim of this thesis was to unravel the signaling and regulatory networks that drive tumor cell migration during breast cancer metastasis.

This thesis focuses on data found in the field of computational drug discovery. New insight can be obtained by applying machine learning in various ways and in a variety of domains. Two studies delved into the application of proteochemometrics (PCM), a machine learning technique that can be used to…

The research described in this thesis has, using the zebrafish as a model system, shed new light on the intricate relationship between TB and DM2, in particular on the role of leptin, SHP-1 and glucocorticoids.

What invertebrates live in the fields and edges? Do the populations change with landscape complexity?

The main research question of this thesis was: Can nitrogen cycling on dairy farms on peat soil in the Dutch Green Heart area be improved by adapting management to the nitrogen supply from soil and by using other grassland species and crops without affecting milk production?

Pharmaceutical companies, governments and the general public have become increasingly aware that animal models used in drug testing lack vital aspects to serve as an accurate representation of human biology. As models of the human body should become more physiologically relevant, animal models no longer…

Het Leiden Advocacy Project on Plastic (LAPP) is een pro bono initiatief aangaande juridische vraagstukken omtrent plastic. LAPP is opgericht om het toenemende probleem van plasticvervuiling aan te pakken en onderzoek te doen naar juridische kwesties gerelateerd hieraan. Studenten werken hierbij als…

DNA carries various forms of information. Out of these forms of information the most well-known is classical genetic information.

The research presented in this thesis makes use of small molecules (as H2 , D2 and O2 ) on well-defined single crystal surfaces (flat Pt(111), flat Cu(211) and curved Pt(111)) to elucidate the role of surface structure and degrees of freedom in the reactant in specific surface reactions.

The dissertation describes TEM experiments on heterogeneous catalysts.

In this thesis we study bistable reaction-diffusion equations on lattice domains.

What is the best way to combine the environmental and economic data and how can we create an operational system to do so, thereby supporting the delivery of data to the Data centres on Products and Resources?

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are the most abundant class of organic compounds in space. The PAH field evolves from the constant interaction between experimentalists, theorists, modellers and observers. While laboratory research and quantum chemical calculations together set up the molecular…

We consider the propagation of electrical signals through nerve fibres.

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.

What are interactive effects of human pressures on aquatic communities?

In this thesis, we extend the concept of null models as canonical ensembles of multi-graphs with given constraints and present new metrics able to characterize real-world layered systems based on their correlation patterns.

Waarom zijn niet alle kinderen even gevoelig voor variaties in hun sociale omgeving?

This thesis aimed to investigate core cross-linked polymeric micelles (CCPMs) and expand their potential for the delivery of hydrophobic drugs and co-factors.
