Political institution (like the Council of the European Union and the European Parliament) generate large bodies of text. These great amounts of text can impossibly be read by a researcher. Contrary to human researchers, computers are able to read thousands of documents a day. In this research project…

Integrating life cycle assessment (LCA) with life cycle costing (LCC) offers the opportunity to simultaneously analyze the environmental and economic aspects of product alternatives, for the integration of which a unified computational has been proposed by Heijungs et al. (2013) [1]. The project aims…

Transplantation of labial salivary glands to the eyelids for patients with dry eye appears to give excellent results clinically.

We have studied shape with a particular focus on the zebrafish model system. The shape is an essential appearance of the phenotype of a biological specimen and it can be used to read out a current state or response or to study gene expression.

Much attention has been paid to the exchange of objects, ideas, and people in the Caribbean. Networks of interaction connected local communities across pan-regional scales, shaping indigenous socio-political integrations and their responses in colonial situations. This work examines the poorly understood…

This five year research project aimed to investigate the role of minor central places in the economy of Roman Central Italy.

Can we develop a platform for raw materials intelligence?

Nierfalen is een serieus probleem omdat nieren zichzelf niet kunnen regenereren na ernstige beschadiging. Een mogelijke oplossing bestaat uit het kunstmatig laten groeien van gezond nierweefsel. Daarvoor moeten wetenschappers eerst de ontwikkeling begrijpen tijdens de allereerste fase, in de foetus.…

The main objective of this thesis was to develop clinically relevant survival models for patients with high-grade soft tissue sarcoma of the extremities, in particular the development and validation of prediction models for use in clinical practice.

This project aims at describing the Khoisan languages !Ora (Korana/Griqua) and !Ui of South Africa.

A biographical approach to stone and bone tools in the Rhine/Meuse delta from Late Mesolithic to Bronze Age

Veel Nederlandse schaatsers en voetballers behoren tot de absolute wereldtop. Toch kunnen ze dankzij slimme statistische analyses wellicht nóg een beetje beter worden. De Universiteit Leiden werkt er samen met Delft en Amsterdam aan.

Basketry, cordage and textiles made of plant fibers or bark are rarely preserved in the archaeological record. By means of experimental archaeology and microwear analysis, we obtain indirect evidence about this important craft.

Schaatscoach en bewegingswetenschapper Jac Orie legt al vijftien jaar alles vast over de prestaties van 'zijn' schaatsers. Dankzij datawetenschapper Arno Knobbe, die de verzamelde data op nieuwe manieren doorberekent, kan Orie zijn team nog slimmer trainen in de aanloop naar de Olympische Winterspelen…

1) Assess the trends in supply and production status of these critical minerals and mineral products worldwide and Europe’s dependence including on intermediate products such as permanent magnets, RE based super alloys, batteries, polishing compounds, phosphors, catalysts etc. 2) Trace the entire value…

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.

What is the population size/structure and distribution of tiger and leopard inside the Bardia National Park (BNP) compared with the population outside? What is the movement and home range and conflict pattern in time and space of tigers and leopards inside the BNP compared with outside? What constitutes…
