The prevalence of obesity (BMI >40 kg/m2) has increased rapidly over the recent years, not only in adults, but also in children and adolescents.

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

This thesis discusses the physical and chemical processes than influence the composition of forming planets.

Het Centrum voor juridisch ondernemerschap en innovatie richt zich op het stimuleren van ondernemerschap en innovatie in de juridische bedrijfstak. Het slaat een brug tussen studie en praktijk.

Op 7 maart 2019 organiseerde het Hazelhoff Centre for Financial Law een mini-seminar over ‘Vermogensscheiding in de financiële sector’. Tijdens deze bijeenkomst hield een aantal experts, zowel praktijkjuristen als academici, een voordracht over een onderwerp op het terrein van vermogensscheiding. Alle…

Op 21 juni gaf Ingrid Leijten een lezing bij het Centre for Human Rights van de Friedrich-Alexander Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (CHREN) in Duitsland. Bij het interdisciplinaire CHREN hoort een Masterprogramma in Human Rights waar studenten uit de hele wereld aan deelnemen.

Het Tyndall Centre for Climate Change research (University of East Anglia, Norwich, UK) organiseerde van 6 tot april een conferentie over uitdaging rond klimaatverandering.

Where and how are critical materials currently used and how can this information be used to develop scenarios about their future demand.

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.

There is an urgent need for more physiologically relevant cell culture methods to guide compound selection in pre-clinical stages of the drug development pipeline.

To this day, all cyclophellitol-based inhibitors and ABPs have been close analogues of their natural substrate counterparts. As a result, these probes showed high selectivity towards their target glycosidases.

The major and ultimate aim of metabolomics is to obtain an answer to a specific biological or clinical question.

In this thesis chemical and physical processes in the ice mantles on interstellar dust grains are studied.

In this work we describe three methods to improve the performance of Quantum Field Theory calculations.

In photoactivated chemotherapy (PACT), a biologically active compound is caged by a light-cleavable protecting group.

In this thesis we study quantum transport phenomena on the nanometer scale, in two classes of materials: topological insulators with induced superconductivity and graphene superlattices.

The next generation of high-contrast imaging instruments on space-based observatories requires sophisticated wavefront sensing and control in addition to a high-performance coronagraph.

This thesis is concerned with the constitution of chiral responsive matrix assemblies that may undergo light-driven conformational changes and self-select vibrations to develop vibronic states for driving semi-classical coherent transfer with nearly 100% yield in a lossless NCAP process.

The availability of indicators based on social media has opened the possibility to track the online interactions between social media users and scholarly entities.
