The main focus of this thesis is the behaviour of two-dimensional materials, namely (anti)-ferromagnetic materials in the first two chapters, which show topological phases, and energetic square ice in the third and fourth chapter.

The effective treatment of tuberculosis (TB) remains a major challenge to global health.

Geen verplichting tot schadevergoeding bestaat, wanneer de geschonden norm niet strekt tot bescherming tegen de schade zoals de benadeelde die heeft geleden (artikel 6:163 BW). Maar hoe zou de rechter de relativiteit van een wettelijke norm moeten vaststellen?

One of the effects of climate change is the phenomenon of desertification, a process that occurs in semi-arid and arid areas and causes land degradation as well as vegetation loss. Due to the lack of resources, vegetation self-organizes to sustain itself by forming large-scale spatial patterns.

Bij Data Science & Artificial Intelligence leer je hoe je functies van het brein, zoals denken, geheugen, leren en aandacht in modellen kunt gieten. Deze kennis kun je gebruiken om computers en systemen op vergelijkbare of betere manieren te laten functioneren.

De masteropleiding Statistics & Data Science is een tweejarige master waarbij een diep doorgronde introductie wordt gelegd aan de algemene filosofie en methodologie van statistische modellen, statistisch modelleren, data analyse en data science, met de voornaamste focus op toepassingen in levens- en…

Wat is het verband tussen materie met zwakke en sterke gravitationele wisselwerkingen?

In vitro disease models play a fundamental role in drug research. They enable the systemic identification and validation of disease mechanisms and the discovery of possible drug targets. However, more than often, drug candidates that are identified in vitro fail in the later clinical stages of drug…

Het beroep van musicus vereist sterke reflectieve, samenwerkende, creatieve en improvisatievaardigheden, maar de overheersende één-op-één-lessen in het conservatoriumonderwijs zijn vooral gericht op de overdracht van ambachtelijke vaardigheden. Door de effecten van het samenwerkend en ervaringsleren…

In de design fase werk je aan het onderzoeken van een slimme oplossing voor het probleem en het schrijven van een businessplan.

Methodologie & Statistiek richt zich op de ontwikkeling, evaluatie en toepassing van modellen voor de analyse van psychologische onderzoeksgegevens.

In this thesis, a system pharmacology approach, integrating metabolomics, pharmacology and chemical biology, was applied to understand and modulate the endocannabinoid system across different model systems (cells, zebrafish, mice and humans).

Materials balances have been used in the recent past for the analysis of substance oriented environmental problems and the formulation of measures for environmental policy. In this study an integrated tool, based on the materials balance principle, has been developed for the analysis of both environmental…

Latent variable modeling of students' solution strategies and performance

In order to gain a better insight into the basis of the rapid jasmonic acid (JA)-mediated stress response, an integrated approach using a targeted high-resolution mass spectrometry-based (HRMS) platform, was conducted to monitor the metabolism of JA using the model system of cell suspension cultures…

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.

Onderzoek naar representatieve bureaucratie heeft vaak de positieve prestatie-effecten bevestigd van bureaucratieën die de demografische kenmerken van hun cliënten weerspiegelen. Er is echter weinig bekend over de onderliggende mechanismen op individueel niveau die tot deze resultaten leiden.

In this thesis, I targeted the orchid genus Lepanthes, one of the six genera of angiosperms that surpasses 1,000 species in the Neotropics, as a study model to investigate the evolutionary processes that promoted species diversifications.

We investigate the buildup of galaxies from various vantage points. The first two chapters focus on the stellar content of galaxies, especially the distribution of stellar masses at birth and potential variations therein in various galactic environments.

It has now been well established that shocks and turbulent motions in the intra-cluster medium (ICM) generated through cluster mergers can produce large-scale synchrotron emission.

The work described in this dissertation contributes to a better mechanistic understanding of nanoparticles in vivo. To achieve that goal, we used the zebrafish as a highly predictive pre-screening model of nanoparticles.
