1) Assess the trends in supply and production status of these critical minerals and mineral products worldwide and Europe’s dependence including on intermediate products such as permanent magnets, RE based super alloys, batteries, polishing compounds, phosphors, catalysts etc. 2) Trace the entire value…

What are the behaviours of plant traits throughout various points in the growing season in a radiative transfer model framework and how well can this knowledge be integrated through data assimilation to provide priors for robust local and global vegetation products and analysis?

The thesis addresses the long-term dynamical evolution of hierarchical multiple systems.

Over the past years it has been discovered that the population of extra-solar planets is large and diverse.

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

To address the fundamental questions of how life on Earth emerged and how common life may be in the Universe, it is crucial to know the chemical composition of the planet-forming material.

The Institute of Environmental Sciences has carried out and participates in several projects that deal with the analysis of energy systems.

Adenosine is an endogenous ligand which exerts its action by activating adenosine receptors (ARs), while its circulating levels are controlled via a variety of mechanism and proteins, amongst others the equilibrative nucleoside transporters (ENTs).

In aflevering zes van tv-programma ‘Waarde van de Aarde’ volgt Twan Huys het spoor van de zeldzame aardmetalen, of rare earth metals. Industrieel ecoloog Benjamin Sprecher vertelt in de uitzending dat die aardmetalen geologisch gezien niet zeldzaam zijn, maar geopolitiek gezien wel.

The soil ecosystem consists of the largest reservoir of biodiversity on Earth.

This thesis describes the development and validation of new high-contrast imaging techniques, with the ultimate goal of enabling the next generation of instruments for ELT-class telescopes to directly image Earth-like extra-solar planets orbiting around nearby stars.

Deze opleiding is gericht op de ontwikkeling van computermodellen die de werking van medicijnen voorspellen, het individualiseren van bestaande behandeltherapieën en het ontwikkelen van innovatieve, analytische tools voor het personaliseren van de gezondheidszorg.

A remarkable population of short period transiting rocky exoplanets with equilibrium temperatures on the order of 2,000 K has recently been discovered.

We have studied the impact of particle shape anisotropy, multivalent interactions and flexibility on systems of micron-sized colloidal particles.

In this thesis we will explore the use of fuzzy systems theory for applications in bioinformatics.

To study how planetary systems come into existence we study much younger systems still in formation.

My work focuses on a class of astronomical objects called protoplanetary disks.

How presence, abundance and enzymatic activities of AM and EM fungi differently affect soil carbon sequestration processes?

Cardiovascular diseases are among the most frequent causes of death in the world. The main underlying pathology of cardiovascular diseases is the development of atherosclerosis in the medium and large-sized arteries.

The key characteristic of active matter is the motion of an emergent collection (such as a flock of birds), which is driven by the consumption of energy by its active components (i.e. individual birds).

Aim: To develop and enable application of a practical, flexible, user-friendly platform to provide the scientific community with a tool to generate land surface products and its associated uncertainties and exploit these for data-intensive science.

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

Electoral Systems and Turnout: Evidence From a Regression Discontinuity Design. In dit artikel, gepubliceerd op de website SAGE research methods, bespreken auteurs Jaroslaw Kantorowicz en Tobias M. Hlobil hoe een Regression Discontinuity Design uitgevoerd kan worden.

Cardiovascular diseases are the primary cause of death in the world with atherosclerosis as primary underlying cause.

Molecular complexes can be used as electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction, water oxidation, and/or hydrogen peroxide production.

This thesis focuses on two processes involved in fighting infections: metabolism and immune cell motility and navigation.

Astronoom Ignas Snellen besprak in Nature de opzienbarende ontdekking van zijn internationale collega's: een dwergster met zeven, op de Aarde lijkende planeten eromheen. Mogelijk zijn de omstandigheden er geschikt voor leven. Ook diverse media vroegen Snellen om commentaar.

Multicellular giant algae Chara species have been widely used in physiological studies for decades.

Wat is 'Interaction between Legal Systems' (ILS) en wat betekent het als profileringsgebied binnen de Faculteit der Rechtsgeleerdheid?
