Binnen de computationele taalkunde wordt er gebruik gemaakt van computermethodes om antwoord te krijgen op taalkundige vragen over verscheidene onderwerpen.

We strive to address the challenge of constructing a modeling language to write software which can take advantage of recent hardware developments (multicore, cloud) without compromising in its abstraction levels.

Description of Biotic ligand models: making an inventory of available models & assessment of the variability of the predicted HC5 using the BLMs in different Dutch water types (2005 - 2007)

Hoe bepaal je bij een kind de juiste dosering van een medicijn? Dat kan niet altijd op basis van lichaamsgewicht. Maar soms kan dat wèl, ontdekte farmacoloog Elke Krekels. Ze won hiermee de TOP-Publicatieprijs van de Nederlandse Vereniging voor Klinische Farmacologie en Biofarmacie. In de uitzending…

Matthijs van Leeuwen van het Leiden Institute of Advanced Computer Science ontwikkelt methodes om interactief naar de juiste computermodellen te zoeken. Hierbij kunnen experts informatie uit ruwe data combineren met hun eigen kennis om zo voorspellingen accurater te maken. ‘Op deze manier hopen we modellen…

... which builds on self-regulation and stress-regulation theories and considers the modification of cognitions as a mediator of therapeutic change.

Epithelial-mesenchymal plasticity (EMP) and tumor cell migration play an important role in cancer progression, and an improved understanding of the mechanisms underlying these concepts is essential for developing new targeted approaches.

Real-life processes are characterized by dynamics involving time. Examples are walking, sleeping, disease progress in medical treatment, and events in a workflow.

Death in all types of melanomas is generally caused by metastasis. Uveal melanoma (UM) is the most common intraocular melanoma, there are currently no (patient-derived) animal models that faithfully recapitulate metastatic dissemination of UM.

This dissertation studies the Asymptotics of Bayesian nonparametric inference for Gaussian linear models.

Industrial manufacturing processes, such as the production of steel or the stamping of car body parts, are complex semi-batch processes with many process steps, machine parameters and quality indicators.

Immunotherapies for cancer are an emerging class of therapeutic strategies which aim to treat cancer via augmentation of the immune system.

Making a dynamic substance stock model in order to conduct scenario analyses and make forecasts.

The molecular mechanisms that instigate a healthy cell to become malignant are fueled by (epi)genetic alterations in so-called driver genes.

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.

From surface science towards industrial practice using high-pressure scanning tunneling microscopy.

In this thesis, we extend the concept of null models as canonical ensembles of multi-graphs with given constraints and present new metrics able to characterize real-world layered systems based on their correlation patterns.

Clinical development of drugs for central nervous system (CNS) disorders has been particularly challenging and still suffers from high attrition rates.

In this thesis, mathematical modeling and simulation was applied as a tool to inform quantitative decision making in oncology drug discovery and development.

Decarbonizing the building stock is critical for realizing the climate-neutral target for the Netherlands.

It is a common technique in global optimization with expensive black-box functions to learn a surrogate-model of the response function from past evaluations and use it to decide on the location of future evaluations.

Growth hormone profiles are pulsatile and highly variable between individuals, limiting the implementation of mathemathical models to quantify an individual's secretion.

To limit the effects of climate change, global average temperature since pre-industrial measurements are to be kept well below 2 °C preferably even at 1.5 °C.

The growing demand of energy indicates that global energy resources in the form of fossil fuels will not be sufficient in the future. In order to solve potential future energy problems development of a sustainable hydrogen economy is highly desirable.
