Balsaminaceae is a diverse plant family characterized by a huge floral morphological diversity.

In surface science there is great effort to move from studying simple, flat model surfaces in vacuum to investigating more complex model catalysts in gas environments (in situ). This thesis gives three examples of such studies using microscopy and spectroscopy.

Hydrogen fuel cells are expected to be pivotal in the energetic transition towards renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power. However, their industrial scalability is severely hindered by the high cost and degradation rate of platinum catalysts, one of their key components. Addressing this…

This dissertation consists of two parts, each of which considers a different research area related to random interval maps. In the first part we are interested in random interval maps that are critically intermittent.

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

The transition to electric vehicles (EVs) reduces vehicle emissions to combat climate change. EVs raise concerns regarding the production of lithium-ion batteries and related emissions; while batteries can also provide energy storage services for the electricity system.

Several single-stranded RNA viruses make use of Xrn1-resistant RNAs in their 3’ untranslated regions of their genome RNAs in order to increase their pathogenicity.

Wat doe je als je iets te weten wilt komen? Tegenwoordig gebruikt men voornamelijk het internet om informatie te verkrijgen. Een lezer moet deze informatie vaak uit meerdere bronnen halen en die bronnen met elkaar in verband brengen, om zo een compleet plaatje te vormen van het onderwerp. Soms is de…

Onderzoeken en ontwerpen zijn twee vaardigheden die steeds belangrijker worden in de vakken O&O (onderzoeken en ontwerpen) en NLT (natuur, leven en technologie). Uit onderzoek van Tessa Vossen (ICLON en Faculteit Wiskunde en Natuurwetenschappen) blijkt dat docenten en leerlingen de relevantie van onderzoeken…

In this thesis, we study travelling waves in stochastic reaction-diffusion equations. We extend techniques from the deterministic theory for travelling waves to apply to the stochastic version, which allows us to compute the stochastic wave speed and shape, and draw conclusions on the stability of the…

This thesis is divided into two parts. In Part I we study metastability properties of queue-based random-access protocols for wireless networks. The network is modeledas a bipartite graph whose edges represent interference constraints. In Part II we study spectra of inhomogeneous Erdős-Rényi random…
