‘Wie meent rechts- en levensbeschouwing te kunnen scheiden, schaadt beide. Hij vervalst zijn rechtsovertuiging, omdat hij het teruggrijpen op de hoogste waarde stelselmatig vermijdt’, aldus Paul Scholten (1875-1946), één van de grootste, zo niet dé grootste rechtsfilosoof die de Lage Landen hebben v…

​Van een afstand lijkt het zo eenvoudig: halverwege de zestiende eeuw kwam het protestantse Nederland in opstand tegen Spanje, een van de steunpilaren van de contrareformatie, en vocht vervolgens tachtig jaar lang voor zijn vrijheid. De werkelijkheid was natuurlijk ingewikkelder. De opstand in – dus…

An overview is given of the flows of chlorine and chlorinated hydrocarbons through the Europian Union.

The origin and evolution of galaxies are closely linked to many different physical phenomena.

PUMA aims at composing a geological map of the urban mine of Amsterdam for a selection of metals. Where are main deposits of copper, iron and aluminium located, when will they become available for secondary production, in what state and shape are they?

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…

A Josephson junction is a device where a thin insulating barrier or a nanostructure is placed between two superconducting leads. Such a junction is essential to superconducting qubits that store quantum information due to its anharmonic spectrum.
