OB associations are loose groups of young, massive stars. They constitute the last stage of the massive starformation process, and the context in which new stars are formed.

Op donderdag 17 oktober organiseerde de masteropleiding Crisis and Security Management (CSM) een informatief alumni-panel met vijf afgestudeerden uit verschillende cohorten. Het panel bood huidige studenten de kans om te luisteren naar professionals die hun eigen weg hebben gebaand in crisis- en vei…

Material circularity and energy efficiency are highly relevant and intertwined issues for the transition towards a carbon-neutral and circular built environment. In the Netherlands, the building sector has been rendered a priority towards a circular and low-carbon society.

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

Toenemende geopolitieke spanningen zorgen ervoor dat staten en nationale elites hun gebruik van het verleden voor hedendaagse politieke doeleinden innoveren. Dit geldt zeker voor de Volksrepubliek China, die zich voorbereidt op de viering van haar 75e verjaardag in 2024 te midden van toenemende rivaliteit…

A plasma is an ionized gas with very low electrical resistivity. As such, magnetic field lines are 'frozen in' and move with the fluid. Magnetic field lines that are linked, knotted and tangled, cannot be undone by the fluid motions.

We present an extensive study of methods for exactly solving stochastic constraint (optimisation) problems (SCPs) in network analysis. These problems are prevalent in science, governance and industry.

Enkele keren per jaar organiseert het Europa Instituut een ‘Meet the Author’ bijeenkomst. In het kader van deze nieuwe lezingenreeks komen externe academici naar Leiden om te spreken over een recente publicatie. ‘Meet the Author’ bijeenkomsten vangen aan met een gesprek tussen een lid van het Europa…

Making a dynamic substance stock model in order to conduct scenario analyses and make forecasts.

The research aims to explore the evolutionary adaptability of enzymes and the impact of temperature on protein evolution pathways, using M. tuberculosis β-lactamase BlaC as the object of study. Enzymes inherently embody a delicate balance between activity and stability, and the acquisition of new enzymatic…

Vast, often populated, areas in dryland ecosystems face the dangers of desertification.

Van 24 t/m 26 januari vindt de 11e jaarlijkse conferentie Computers, Privacy and Data Protection (CPDP) plaats in Brussel. Het Leidse Centrum voor Recht en Digitale Technologie (eLaw) zal in diverse panels vertegenwoordigd zijn.

1) Assess the trends in supply and production status of these critical minerals and mineral products worldwide and Europe’s dependence including on intermediate products such as permanent magnets, RE based super alloys, batteries, polishing compounds, phosphors, catalysts etc. 2) Trace the entire value…

In Nederland bieden ongeveer 130 van de 700 middelbare scholen een tweetalige stroom aan. Toch is er nog maar weinig wetenschappelijk onderzoek naar CLIL (content and language integrated learning). Met haar proefschrift wil Evelyn van Kampen (promovendus bij het ICLON) bijdragen aan een beter begrip…

Indigenous Latin American artifacts have attracted the interest of Europeans since the earliest moment of contact between Europeans and the Indigenous peoples of the Americas. The ERC-funded BECACO project uses an innovative multidisciplinary framework to investigate the provenance of ethnographic and…

The explosive radiation and diversification of the advanced snakes (superfamily Colubroidea) was associated with changes in all aspects of the shared venom system. Morphological changes included the partitioning of the mixed ancestral glands into two discrete glands devoted for production of venom ormucous…

Microbial rhodopsins are photosensitive pigments implemented in the growth and adaptation of a large population of microorganisms.

This PhD-thesis presents a study on micron-sized particles, so-called colloids. By controlling the chemical and physical properties of these particles, such as the interparticle interaction and the particles’ shape, colloids can act as building blocks that self-assembly into larger structures.

Wetlands provide many ecosystem goods and services which include fish production. The sustainability of small-scale fisheries (SSF) has received considerable attention in recent years because fish is one of the major sources of animal protein to a considerable fraction of the global population which…

This thesis focuses on addressing four research problems in designing embedded streaming systems.

The Vallesian, 11.1-9 Ma, was a special time in the Vallès-Penedes basin near Barcelona, where a biodiversity hotspot existed. Europe had a subtropical climate, with rhinos, forest giraffes, lions, hyenas, flying squirrels and primates.
