In this thesis it is posed that the central object of preference discovery is a co-creative process in which the Other can be represented by a machine. It explores efficient methods to enhance introverted intuition using extraverted intuition's communication lines.

Drug development is a time- and resource-consuming process that starts with the discovery and validation of a (protein) target that contributes to pathogenesis or disease progression.

This dissertation focuses on developing new mathematical and statistical methods to properly represent time-varying covariates and model them within the context of time-to-event analysis.

In multi/many-core System-on-Chips (SoCs), the performance is almost linearly scaling with the number of processing elements.

Self-assembly is an abundant process in nature and is vital to many processes in living organisms.

Continuous optimization is never easy: the exact solution is always a luxury demand and the theory of it is not always analytical and elegant.

Hoe en in welke mate kunnen groepen clinici en biomedici kennis uit klinische vakken en kennis uit de basisvakken expliciet maken en aan elkaar relateren?

This dissertation is an experimental study of laser-generated, atmospheric pressure, transient toroidal helium plasmas.

With tomography it is possible to reconstruct the interior of an object without destroying.

In this thesis we classify the pairs (p,G), where p is a prime number and G is a finite p-group possessing an intense automorphism, i.e. an automorphism that sends each subgroup of G to a G-conjugate, that is non-trivial and whose order is coprime to p.

In this thesis, we show how MRFM can usefully contribute to the field of condensed-matter.

The deeper understanding of an organism's pathology is important for developing treatments. Over centuries of systematic research, clinical researchers have demonstrated that the more information they acquire about the cellular properties and their organisation in the tissue, the better they can understand…

The lipid membrane is a basic structural component of all living cells. Embedded in this nanometer-thin barrier, membrane proteins shape the membrane and at the same time respond to the shape of the membrane.

The development process of any software has become extremely important not just in the IT industry, but in almost every business or domain of research.

Mechanical interactions between cells and their environment play an important role in many biological processes.

Glycosidases are essential in fundamental biological processes and are responsible for the degradation of most (oligo)saccharides, glycolipids and glycoproteins.

Childhood obesity is an increasing health issue. In the first part of this thesis comorbidities in children with obesity were studied, concerning the diagnostic process and dosing regimens.

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

Overall dispersion in LCA as result of inherent uncertainties, spread and unrepresentativeness.

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.

How are links between macro-invertebrate diversity and ecosystem functioning influenced by anthropogenic pressures?

The research programme Cities, Migration and Global Interdependence 1350-2000 (CMGI) focuses on urbanisation, migration, and economic development in a comparative and global context.
