Op vrijdag 24 maart gaf prof: Amanda Perry-Kessaris (Kent Law School) een korte workshop over data visualisation voor de promovendi van de afdeling Economie. Tijdens deze workshop werden de promovendi uitgedaagd om door middel van LEGO hun onderzoek te visualiseren. Amanda Perry-Kessaris gaf daarna…

In het kader van ILS 2.0 zijn er restgelden beschikbaar voor het indienen van subsidievoorstellen en - direct daaraan gekoppeld en inherent daaraan - het ontwikkelen van nieuwe onderzoekslijnen. Per aanvraag geldt een maximumbudget van 40.000 euro. In totaal is 180.000 euro beschikbaar voor deze cal…

The work described in this dissertation contributes to a better mechanistic understanding of nanoparticles in vivo. To achieve that goal, we used the zebrafish as a highly predictive pre-screening model of nanoparticles.

Consequences for sediment stability and seston trapping

The availability of indicators based on social media has opened the possibility to track the online interactions between social media users and scholarly entities.

Plant-microbe interaction resulted in different physio/chemical responses by host plant and interacting rhizobacteria.

A tidal basin is an inland sea which is almost entirely enclosed by land and connected to the open sea by a tidal inlet. Through the tidal inlets interaction takes place between the tidal basin and the open sea.

With the advent of multicore processors and data centers, computer hardware has become increasingly parallel, allowing one to run multiple pieces of software at the same time on different machines. Coordination of these pieces is best expressed in a coordination language as an explicit interaction protocol…

The sequence-dependence of biomolecular interactions involving nucleic acids and proteins is essential for numerous processes inside the cell. Insights into the underlying molecular mechanisms have been obtained using various biochemical and biophysical methods on two different levels — bulk and sin…

The present thesis focuses on the pharmacological concept of drug-target interaction, which dates back to the beginning of modern pharmacology.

Marine sponges are important members of reef ecosystems, as they play ecological roles that are essential for the health of the reef.

Solar energy is used by photosynthetic organisms to drive energy required cellular processes. Is absorbed by two groups of pigments, located in the LHCs.

The energy system is at the heart of two of the greatest challenges of the 21st century: decreasing CO2 emissions to meet the ambitions of the Paris agreement while fulfilling the growing energy demand associated with the economic aspirations of a growing world population.

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

Marcellus Ubbink, hoogleraar Eiwitchemie, heeft een ECHO-subsidie van NWO ter waarde van 260 duizend euro in de wacht gesleept. Met het geld gaat hij onderzoek doen naar enzymremmers.

ILS organizes a new lunch seminar series where all researchers from Leiden Law School can present their research. The idea is to hear in a simple and nice way what researchers from other research programs and institutes are working on. During a seminar two or three speakers will present their research.…

Tijdens de ILS Lunch Seminars kunnen alle onderzoekers van de faculteit hun onderzoek presenteren. Het doel is om op een toegankelijke en efficiënte manier op de hoogte zijn van onderzoeken van verschillende onderzoeksprogramma's en instituten. Gedurende een seminar van een uur zullen twee of drie sprekers…

Gold nanoparticles show surprisingly strong interactions with light in the visible range, which can be divided into scattering, absorption, and photoluminescence.

Stochastic resetting is simple enough to be approached analytically, yet modifies stochastic processes in a non-trivial way.

Surface plasmons (SPs) are surface waves at the interface between a dielectric and a good metal, and are formed by the interaction between light and the free electrons at the metal-dielectric interface. They provide strong field confinement for optical fields, opening new possibilities for enhanced…

We have studied the impact of particle shape anisotropy, multivalent interactions and flexibility on systems of micron-sized colloidal particles.

This thesis presents insights from our study of various correlated electron systems with a scanning tunneling microscope (STM). In ordinary metals, electron-electron interactions exist, but get substantially screened due to the sheer number of electrons.

Cardiovascular syndromes are the major cause of death in Western societies.

In condensed matter systems electron-electron interactions, negligible in everyday metals, can dramatically alter the electronic behavior of the system. Examples of such altered behavior include high-temperature superconductivity and modulation of the electron density.

Ice, the solid state of water, plays an important role on our planet as well as the entire universe.Despite the fact that an individual water molecule has a very simple structure, its chemical bonding in the solid phase can be surprisingly complex.

Galaxies form and evolve through close interaction with their surroundings. As a result, the heavy elements ('metals') that are synthesized in stars, are found both inside and outside galaxies.
