β-Lactamases are enzymes that can break down β-lactam substrates, such as antibiotics, preventing the use of these antibiotics for the treatment of various infectious diseases. However, some compounds, β-lactamase inhibitors, can block these enzymes allowing for possible treatments using a combination…

Plant exudates appeared long time ago in the history line of life in the early Devonian. They are typical saps produced by specialized cells.

Pulsars were first discovered in 1967 and since then the population has grown and expanded over several wavelengths.

This study has been carried out in the community of Sukamiskin, a kelurahan (‘village’) in Bandung, the Capital of West Java Province, located in the Sunda Region of Indonesia.

Dit proefschrift omvat vier deelstudies naar de inhoud en structuur van de opvattingssystemen van natuurkundedocenten over het leren en onderwijzen van natuurkunde in het voortgezet onderwijs (VO) in Nederland.

De huidige en toekomstige quantumcomputers vormen dezelfde uitdaging als de laser in zijn begindagen. In theorie werd voorspeld dat de laser een bron van zeer speciaal, zeer krachtig licht zou zijn. Maar in die tijd waren er geen duidelijke toepassingen voor. Critici van het idee noemden het een probleem…

Until the 1990s, the only known planets were those in our Solar System. Three decades later, several thousand exoplanets have been discovered orbiting stars other than the Sun, and substantial efforts have been made to explore these strange new worlds through spectroscopic analyses of their atmosphe…

Het mededingingsrecht zorgt ervoor dat bedrijven op een eerlijke wijze concurreren. De Nederlandse Autoriteit Consument & Markt (ACM) handhaaft het mededingingsrecht in Nederland en kan bedrijven die oneerlijk concurreren bestraffende en herstellende maatregelen opleggen. Deze bedrijven hebben, wanneer…

The solar system was formed approximately 4.56 billion years ago. Despite the numerous theories that have been developed over the years, the formation and evolution of the solar system still remain unclear.

Op 15 en 16 december nam Simona Demková deel aan een afsluitende conferentie en boekpresentatie van het doctorale opleidingsprogramma van de Universiteit van Luxemburg over ‘Enforcement Challenges in Multilevel Regulatory Systems – DTU REMS.

Ben Wielstra onderzoekt balanced lethal systems, waarin de helft van het nageslacht al voor de geboorte sterft. In vakblad Current Biology legt hij op toegankelijke wijze uit hoe zoiets nadeligs kan ontstaan in de natuur.

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.

Accurate prediction of the unbound drug concentration-time profile at the CNS target site is crucial for the assessment of the right drug concentration-effect relationship. PBPK models have supported the PK prediction of the CNS target sites and the translation of PK data between species and between…

Climate change is a challenge for both current and future generations. New biological resources have to be developed in order to meet the demand for energy as well as the demand for food.

This thesis addresses the problem of designing performance and energy efficient embedded streaming systems, that is, systems which process a stream of input data coming from the environment and generate a stream of output data going into the environment.

This thesis focus on the interaction between M dwarf stellar winds and Galactic cosmic rays and the possible effects on the habitability of exoplanets.

This thesis described the development of novel scanning tunneling microscopy techniques to investigate strongly correlated electronic states in quantum matter.

Materials with strongly correlated electrons show some of the most mysterious and exotic phases of quantum matter, such as unconventional superconductivity, quantum criticality and strange metal phase.
