Abstract Behavioral Specification: unifying modeling and programming
We strive to address the challenge of constructing a modeling language to write software which can take advantage of recent hardware developments (multicore, cloud) without compromising in its abstraction levels.

The acquisition of verbal morphology in cochlear-implanted and specific language impaired children
This dissertation aims at enhancing our knowledge of whether a CI provides sufficient access to auditory speech input to acquire verbal morphology by comparing outcomes of CI children to those of their normal hearing peers and to those of children with specific language impaired (SLI).

Film and Video Intermediality: The Question of Medium Specificity in Contemporary Moving Images
In Film and Video Intermediality, Janna Houwen innovatively rewrites the concept of medium specificity in order to answer the questions “what is meant by video?” and “what is meant by film?”

Corneum Lipid Composition and Organization of Human Skin Equivalents by Specific Medium Supplements
Our in-house human skin equivalents contain all stratum corneum (SC) barrier lipid classes, but have a reduced level of free fatty acids (FAs), of which a part is mono-unsaturated. These differences lead to an altered SC lipid organization and thereby a reduced barrier function compared to human skin.…

Designing 'context-specific' regional innovation policy: a study on the role of regional government in six European regions
Whilst government’s ability to design ‘context-specific’ regional innovation policy is generally assumed to depend on the region’s decision-making power, the aim of this study is to investigate how regional government matters. In order to open up the black box of policy design, the study develops a…

coated pH-sensitive microneedle arrays effectively induce ovalbumin-specific antibody and T-cell responses in mice
The aim of this work was to study the applicability of antigen-coated pH-sensitive microneedle arrays for effective vaccination strategies. Therefore, a model antigen (ovalbumin) was coated onto pH-sensitive (pyridine-modified) microneedle arrays to test pH-triggered antigen release by applying the…

The role of hearing signers in the development of channel specific structures in sign languages of deaf communities
In this project, the hypothesis that language contact crucially impacts the development of spatial grammar and phonology is investigated.

poly(i:C): a defined adjuvanted vaccine for induction of antigen-specific T cell cytotoxicity
For effective cancer immunotherapy by vaccination, co-delivery of tumour antigens and adjuvants to dendritic cells and subsequent activation of antigen-specific cytotoxic T cells (CTLs) is crucial. In this study, a synthetic long peptide (SLP) harbouring the model CTL epitope SIINFEKL was encapsulated…

Physicists link specific iron forms to Alzheimer’s
There have been indications for decades that there is a link between increased iron levels in the brain and Alzheimer’s disease. Leiden physicists find this connection as well, thereby now making a distinction between different forms of iron. They identify specific iron forms that increase in Alzheimer’s…
