The ministry of education (OC en W) has generously decided to subsidize the Encompass program with a grant of 1 million euro’s for the years 2012-2016.

Systems with local constraints is a new finding in recent researches on complex systems. The heterogeneous spatial interactions and the temporal dependencies among those numerous units make it difficult to describe by traditional statistical physics.

The overall objectives of my thesis are to investigate the dynamics of the sorghum root microbiome and to explore the beneficial effects of the root microbiome on sorghum growth and stress tolerance.

In astronomy, the interpration of observations and measurements plays a crucial role: we rely purely and fundamentally on the information that reaches us as observers. And 80% of all matter in the universe is undetectable directly.

How presence, abundance and enzymatic activities of AM and EM fungi differently affect soil carbon sequestration processes?

Welke rol spelen ouder-kind interacties bij het ontstaan, in stand houden en de behandeling van depressieve klachten van jongeren?

The studies described in this thesis deal with glycosidases, in particular alpha-galactosidases.

This thesis focuses on amyloid proteins, a class of proteins that convert into amyloid fibrils.

The subject of this thesis, ‘Approach to Markov Operators on Spaces of Measures by Means of Equicontinuity’, combines an analytical and probabilistic approach to Markov operators.

Mycorrhizas are symbiotic associations between soil fungi and most plant species.

Unconstrained day-to-day activities are difficult to quantify and how the corresponding movements shape the brain remain unclear. Read more

The thesis mainly contributes to the characterization of Majorana fermions as they appear in the Condensed Matter context.

What performance criteria does a new technology have to fulfill in order to be added to the list of future energy options and what constraints exist in terms of broad market penetration?

This thesis consists of three chapters. Each chapter is on a different subject. However, all three chapters address issues that arise in counting arithmetically interesting objects.

The studies presented in the work show the potential of the integrative use of biophysical data in defining the structural basis of protein interactions.

This thesis provides explicit expressions for the density functions of absolutely continuous invariant measures for general families of interval maps, that include random maps and infinite measure transformations, not necessarily number systems.

In this Ph.D. thesis, we characterized two novel upstream regulators of JUB1, HB40, and HB22, in Arabidopsis thaliana. In Chapter 2, we described functions of HB40 in modulating growth and development via the regulation of JUB1 and GA inactivation genes GA2OXs.

Atherosclerosis is the most important underlying process that drives cardiovascular disease, and is characterized by an accumulation of cholesterol which triggers an inflammatory response in the vessel wall.

Anthropogenic noise has been shown to affect marine animals in various ways, this may have fitness consequences at individual and population level. This thesis aims to increase insight into the quantification of sound-induced behavioural responses that are relevant to fitness, and into factors that…

Including modelling as part of software development appears to have various benefits.

The use of N fertilizers has increased worldwide in the past century. While this increased input of N has increased food productivity, it has also contributed to decreases in biodiversity, soil quality and environmental health, including increases in greenhouse gas emissions.
