Vergeten Afkomsten onderzoekt de paden waarlangs generaties van tot slaaf gemaakten en hun nakomelingen geleidelijk hun slavernijverleden onder Nederlands en Brits keizerschap vergaten en lokale onderdanen werden in Sri Lanka en Zuid-Afrika. Het onderzoekt waarom en hoe vergeten in plaats van herinneren…

Review of new technical decisionsupport systems in the environmental field, and application in water management decission processes.

We explored the Universe using weak gravitational lensing, a phenomenon that occurs when light from distant galaxies is bent by the gravitational fields of closer cosmic objects, much like how a lens distorts light.

Continuous optimization is never easy: the exact solution is always a luxury demand and the theory of it is not always analytical and elegant.

In this PhD-thesis several new and existing data science application are described that are particularly focused on applications for tax administrations.

In this thesis it is posed that the central object of preference discovery is a co-creative process in which the Other can be represented by a machine. It explores efficient methods to enhance introverted intuition using extraverted intuition's communication lines.

Classical statistical methods, such as p-values, are difficult for researchers to apply correctly. They for example do not allow drawing conclusions from a study early, or for extending a study with extra research groups that want to make their data available later.

According to the amyloid cascade hypothesis, accumulation of beta-amyloid (Aβ) peptides initiates the pathological cascade in Alzheimer's disease (AD).
