Novel entities may pose risks to humans and the environment. The small particle size and relatively large surface area of micro- and nanoparticles (MNPs) make them capable of adsorbing other novel entities, leading to the formation of aggregated contamination.

Our recent excavations have focused on the more recent New Kingdom/Late Period (ca. 1500-332 BCE) material.

Sound is everywhere in the marine environment and hearing is therefore a very important for stimuli for fish. They use sound for orientation and communication, during migration, aggregation and spawning, but also for detection of prey and predators.

The thesis describes terrestrial field trials aimed to detect side-effects of pesticides within the framework of pesticide registration procedures. Field trials were developed using vascular plants Brassica napus and Poa annua, caterpillars Pieris brassicae and effects on decomposition were studied…

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.

De Universiteit Leiden heeft onderzoeksinstituten gevestigd in Leiden en Den Haag.

The parabolic Anderson model (PAM), which is the Cauchy problem for the heat equation with random potential. The PAM is a mathematical model that describes how mass (i.e. matter or energy) flows in a medium in the presence of a field of sources and sinks.

The main research question of this thesis was: Can nitrogen cycling on dairy farms on peat soil in the Dutch Green Heart area be improved by adapting management to the nitrogen supply from soil and by using other grassland species and crops without affecting milk production?

Harm Beukers, Leids emeritus hoogleraar Geschiedenis van de geneeskunde, krijgt de Japanse Orde van de Rijzende Zon met gouden stralen.

Rong Yuang onderzocht de impact van duurzame energie op de CO2 uitstoot van China. China investeert namelijk fors in koolstofarme energiebronnen, zoals kern-, water-, wind- en zonne-energie. Yuang is promovendus bij het Centrum voor Milieuwetenschappen Leiden. Op 17 mei zal zij haar thesis verdedige…

Koning Willem-Alexander en koningin Máxima bereiden in Leiden hun staatsbezoek aan China voor. Ze nemen op 1 oktober deel aan de bijeenkomst 'China in Nederland'. Deze wordt georganiseerd door de Universiteit Leiden.

Plants and their pollinators form complex interaction networks. Within these networks, species differ widely in the number of species they interact with.

The external tissues of plants and animals are colonized by microbial communities termed microbiota. When organisms are exposed to environmental pollutants, these substances will therefore encounter microbiota at the exposure interface.

De staf van het Europa Instituut bezit een uitgebreide expertise omtrent het recht van de Europese Unie en de Europese bescherming van de mensenrechten in het algemeen.
