The glycosylation reaction is a pivotal reaction in creating new and complex oligosaccharides.

What invertebrates are available to feed nestlings in an agricultural landscape of varied complexity?

The energy system is at the heart of two of the greatest challenges of the 21st century: decreasing CO2 emissions to meet the ambitions of the Paris agreement while fulfilling the growing energy demand associated with the economic aspirations of a growing world population.

Light-Harvesting Complex II (LHCII) is responsible for light absorption and excitation energy transfer in plants and photosynthetic algae, while in high light it undergoes conformational changes by which it quenches excitations to prevent photodamage.

Naar schatting bestaat de wereldbevolking over twintig jaar uit ongeveer 8,7 miljard mensen, terwijl dat aantal nu 7,3 miljard is. Deze groei, gecombineerd met de bijbehorende groei in consumptie en de verbeteringen in levensstandaarden, zal resulteren in een enorme groei in de vraag naar voedsel, verbruiksgoederen,…

In this thesis we study the landscape of gravitational models which modify GR by introducing an additional scalar degree of freedom (d.o.f.) to source Cosmic Acceleration.

Due to their central physiological roles in living organisms, retaining beta-glycosidases have been the subject of tremendous research efforts to examine their structure/function relation using numerous biophysical and biochemical approaches.

In this thesis, classes of strongly interacting quantum field theories, have been studied.

Do Ethiopian wolves change their diet and foraging strategy in the landscape under different land uses? How land use affect Afro-alpine rodent Communities? How important are Afro-alpine natural resources utilisation for local livelihoods? What is the human perception of conflict in the Afro-alpine a…

HEPGAME is a research project that combines the world’s fastest computer algebra system for High Energy Physics equations, FORM, with insights from artificial intelligence. The name combines High Energy Physics and Games.

Ethiopian wolves are endangered diurnal Afroalpine rodent hunters. I investigated the interaction between wolves, rodents and human land use in Borena Sayint National Park (BSNP), Abune Yosef and Aboi Gara in Ethiopia.

Computer scientists from Leiden University and the University of Münster describe a new theoretical starting point for approaching difficult optimization problems. They can take into account several criteria simultaneously, instead of just one at a time.

How can ecosystem services within river catchments be quantified in spatial and temporal explicit way?

Plants and their pollinators form complex interaction networks. Within these networks, species differ widely in the number of species they interact with.

The focus of the dissertation "Aspects of cosmic acceleration" is the study of possible mechanisms responsible for the late-time accelerated expansion of the universe.
