Waarom is er geen Noordoost Aziatische veiligheidsstructuur? In dit artikel, gepubliceerd in The Pacific Review, bespreken auteurs Wang (Peking University) en Stevens (Leiden University) de vier obstakels voor coöperatie in Oost Azië.

Atoms and molecules are the basic units of matter. If we keep dividing a bar of gold or a glass of water into smaller parts, at the end we are left with a single gold atom or a water molecule.

Nucleoid associated proteins maintain the architecture of the bacterial chromosome and regulate gene expression, hinting that their role as transcription factors may involve local three-dimensional chromosome re-modelling.

The thesis explores how interstellar chemistry evolves as a function of time and changing physical architectures during the formation of stars.

In this work, we illustrate unconventional approaches towards the fabrication of edge functionalized graphene nanostructures and bidimensional architectures in polymeric and metallic supports, with an outlook towards molecular sensing devices.

Structural variants (SVs) are the hidden architecture of the human genome, and are critical for us to understand diseases, evolution, and so on.

Plant architecture has distinct forms in different plant species, but also within a species the finalarchitecture of a plant is determined by its gradual development and changes therein induced by environmental conditions during the plant’s life cycle.

This thesis aimed to investigate core cross-linked polymeric micelles (CCPMs) and expand their potential for the delivery of hydrophobic drugs and co-factors.

Errors are everywhere, and mechanical failures are especially common: buckled grain silos and cracked support columns are, justly, seen as an issue to be avoided.

Paradiso, de Keizersgrachtkerk en het Artis-aquarium: deze gebouwen danken alle hun ontwerp aan architecten Gerlof Bartholomeus Salm en Abraham Salm. Remco van der Kuijp deed onderzoek naar de plek van vader en zoon in de architectuurgeschiedenis. Promotie op 25 maart.

Bacteria often experience external challenges, such as changes in environmental conditions or attacks by bacteriophages.

The European Council and the European Commission have a similar role in agenda setting. Both place issues on the EU agenda. However, these institutions have distinct designs. They have different political attributes (the European Council has considerably more political authority) and information-processing…

Pharmaceutical companies, governments and the general public have become increasingly aware that animal models used in drug testing lack vital aspects to serve as an accurate representation of human biology. As models of the human body should become more physiologically relevant, animal models no longer…

In 2021 heeft het NCSC de Universiteit Leiden gevraagd om een rapid review uit te voeren naar best practices en mogelijkheden voor vervolgonderzoek over de integratie van gedragswetenschappen in security by design methodologieën en projecten. Dit academische veld wordt security by behavioural design…

Mechanical metamaterials are man-made materials which derive their unusual properties from their structure rather than their composition.

Even though more than 4000 extra-solar planets are known today, only a small fraction of these has been captured in an image. To better understand the planet formation mechanisms in solar-like environments we started the Young Suns Exoplanet Survey (YSES).

Streptomyces are multicellular, Gram-positive bacteria in the phylum of actinobacteria which produce a high amount of bioactive natural products of which the expression is tightly coordinated with the life cycle.

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.

Over several decades, a variety of computational methods for drug discovery have been proposed and applied in practice. With the accumulation of data and the development of machine learning methods, computational drug design methods have gradually shifted to a new paradigm, i.e. deep learning methods…

In Mykeens Griekenland verschenen vanaf 1600 v. Chr. zeer veel monumentale bouwwerken zoals grote graftombes. Waarom stopte die bouwlust 400 jaar later abrupt? Archeoloog Ann Brysbaert onderzoekt de mogelijke oorzaken dankzij haar ERC Consolidator Grant.

De 22-jarige Wendy Gunther is de eerste student van de Master ICT in Business die summa cum laude is afgestudeerd. Zij kreeg een 9 voor haar scriptie en behaalde een 9 gemiddeld op de vakken die zij volgde. Op vrijdag 26 september nam zij haar bul in ontvangst in het Academiegebouw in Leiden.

Handbook of Signal Processing Systems is organized in four parts. The first part motivates representative applications that drive and apply state-of-the art methods for design and implementation of signal processing systems; the second part discusses architectures for implementing these applications;…

Hybrid zones occur where two species meet and produce offspring (hybrids). Typically, hybrids show a considerable reduction in fitness. In this thesis two hybrid zones are treated.

Sigrid de Jong en Grantley McDonald hebben ieder een Studieprijs van de Stichting Praemium Erasmianum gekregen voor hun proefschrift.
