In this thesis, we consider various (electro)chemical phenomena at surfaces and nanoparticles and their underlying atomistic processes, which we studied using first-principles methods such as density functional theory.

This thesis concerns the relation bettween the good reduction of Shimura varieties and the associated loop groups.

How can we bridge the gap between experts and the general public?

The thesis focuses on synthesis strategies in oligosaccharide campaigns, and the influence of protecting groups.

My PhD research is devoted to studies of the conjectural cluster-algebraic symmetry in the theory of topological string, which is the simplest, however already non-trivial sector in the theory of string.

This thesis focused on the exploration of monolayer graphene as a membrane in direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) applications, with improvements achieved through plasma exposure or damage- free chemical functionalization.

This thesis has three main parts. The first part gives an algorithm to compute Hilbert modular polynomials for ordinary abelian varieties with maximal real multiplication. Hilbert modular polynomials of a given level b give a way of finding all of the abelian varieties that are b-isogeneous to any given…

This thesis describes the design, synthesis, and immunological evaluation of varying (neo)antigenic peptide conjugates containing either a TLR2 or a TLR7 agonist.

This thesis is about cosmological inflation and its relation to observations.

Migration imposes special pressures on the meaning, experience and organization of lifecycle rituals. These pressures are felt most strongly by Muslim migrants to Western Europe. In this innovative study, Nathal M. Dessing examines the effects of migration on the life cycle rituals of Moroccan, Turkish…

This thesis deals with the use of sound in interactions in the context of participatory systems and data sonification. We investigate an interactive environment where participants perceive information of the data through sound elements.

This minor combines the domains of design thinking and technology-enhanced learning and teaching with interdisciplinary group work.

Neuraminidases are enzymes that cleave glycosidic linkages of sialic acid. These enzymes are involved in influenza infections as well as in many cellular processes in mammals and micro-organisms.

In this thesis, we developed new ways to use a technique called electroextraction (EE) to extract charged molecules from one liquid into another using an electric field.

The ideas underlying this thesis are that lipidomics may improve the diagnosis of liver metabolic diseases, and can provide further insights into the underlying pathophysiology of these diseases.

In this thesis, we have studied cell images from two types of cells, including pollen grains and the immune cells, neutrophils. These images are captured using a bright field microscope and a confocal microscope.

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is the substrate used for the introduction of the ubiquitous and highly dynamic PTM in which either one or multiple adenosine diphosphate ribose (ADPr) moieties are covalently attached to a nucleophilic side chain of an specific amino acid in the target protein…

Technology can drive peace and justice. Innovative solutions increasingly make use of new types of data, mobile technologies and social media. Big or small (data), high-tech or low-tech: the challenge is to maximise the benefits while minimising the risks that come with the so-called data revolution…

Somatische symptomen, zoals pijn, jeuk en vermoeidheid, blijken in twee richtingen samen te hangen met psychische symptomen. Hoewel acute somatische symptomen bepaalde adaptieve eigenschappen hebben, kunnen chronische symptomen in plaats daarvan leiden tot verstoring van dagelijkse activiteiten en vermindering…

Aim: To develop and enable application of a practical, flexible, user-friendly platform to provide the scientific community with a tool to generate land surface products and its associated uncertainties and exploit these for data-intensive science.

Nieuwscheckers, een team van journalistieke factcheckers van de Universiteit Leiden, ontving tijdens de opening van het academisch jaar op 5 september de Mr. K.J. Cathprijs. Deze prijs wordt elke twee jaar uitgereikt aan medewerkers of studenten die een positieve bijdrage leveren aan de naam van de…

Met heel Leiden als festivalterrein leidt een expeditie door de Hortus botanicus Leiden tot verwondering bij leerkrachten.

Media & interactie is waar kunstmatige intelligentie en machine learning samenkomen met filosofie, cognitieve wetenschap en de creatieve kunsten. Voorbeelden van onderzoeksvragen in dit domein zijn: ‘Kan een algoritme naar menselijke maatstaven creatief zijn?', 'Kunnen creatieve processen, zoals het…
