Firearms and violence in Europe–A systematic review by Katharina Krüsselmann, Pauline Aarten, Marieke Liem

Waar komt het Nederlands vandaan? Nieuwe hoogleraar Alwin Kloekhorst kijkt voor een antwoord op die vraag naar millennia-oude talen uit Anatolië, het Aziatische gedeelte van het huidige Turkije. ‘Een nieuwe interpretatie in één van de Anatolische talen kan gevolgen hebben voor tientallen andere tale…

Het HOPES Onderzoek is een van de grootste onderzoeken van dit soort tot nu toe! Door bestaande hersenscans en gegevens van meer dan 4.000 jongeren tussen 14 en 25 jaar te bestuderen, hoopt het projectteam specifieke veranderingen in de hersenen te identificeren die jongeren kwetsbaar maken voor zelfmoordgedachten…

In the first part of this thesis we study the geometry of folding patterns.

Global healthcare is on the verge of an antibiotic availability crisis as bacteria have evolved resistance to nearly all known antibacterials. Identifying new antibiotics that operate via novel modes-of-action is therefore of high priority.

Netherlands Statistics (CBS), Leiden University and the University of Amsterdam have started a collaboration in the form of a research project titled 'Enriching official economic statistics using data-driven modelling techniques'.

This thesis focuses on the X-ray spectral analysis of merging galaxy clusters and the plasma code development for future high-resolution X-ray spectroscopy observations.

The field of exoplanet research is rapidly advancing through the development of new technology, observing techniques, and post-processing methods.

In this thesis, we use low-frequency and high-frequency radio observations to address the following questions regarding quasars: is the radio loud/quiet quasar dichotomy real?

Understanding how galaxies form, interact, and evolve comes largely from comparing theory predictions with observational data. Numerical simulations of galaxies provide the most accurate approach to testing the theory, as they follow the non-linear evolution of gas and dark matter in great detail and…

This thesis is is made of three parts. The first part describes a generalization of the Chabauty's method, that can be used to determine the rational points of a curve such that s+g>r+1, where g is the genusof the curve, r is the rank of the Mordell-Weil group of the jacobian of the curve and s is…

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

In the first part, we introduce a new condition, called toric-additivity, on a family of abelian varieties degenerating to a semi-abelian scheme over a normal crossing divisor.
