How can prospective LCA be streamlined in a way that its practical application in research and technology development increases?

This thesis describes the synthesis and biological evaluation of TLR2/6, TLR4, TLR7/8 and TLR9 ligands, of which the activity can be conditionally controlled.

In this thesis we explore machine and deep learning approaches that address keychallenges in high dimensional problem areas and also in improving accuracy in wellknown problems. In high dimensional contexts, we have focused on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations.

Studievoorlichting

Met haar wetenschappelijke ontdekkingen heeft de Universiteit Leiden geschiedenis geschreven, maar haar eigen historie is ook opgetekend in diverse boeken en een film.

This thesis aims to enhance our understanding of galaxies by testing theoretical models of galaxy formation against observations, particularly in the cases of extreme systems which have been found to have an excess of baryonic mass in their central regions, in the form of either supermassive black holes…

The present thesis focuses on the pharmacological concept of drug-target interaction, which dates back to the beginning of modern pharmacology.

As a contribution to the changing legislation and evolving societal attitudes concerning environmental issues, this project aims to enhance and manipulate the plants’ own natural defense mechanisms against western flower thrips (WFT).

Artificial intelligence algorithms govern in subtle, yet fundamental ways, the way we live and are transforming our societies. The promise of efficient, low‐cost or ‘neutral’ solutions harnessing the potential of big data has led public bodies to adopt algorithmic systems in the provision of public…

Why do black holes emit thermal radiation? And how does a closed quantum system thermalize?

The solar system was formed approximately 4.56 billion years ago. Despite the numerous theories that have been developed over the years, the formation and evolution of the solar system still remain unclear.

Whether you are grocery shopping, watching a commercial or listening to the radio: pop music is all around us. But popular genres of today often have a history of resisting the mainstream. How did singer-songwriters and sharp-tongued rappers claim their place on the stage? And what role did politics…
