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.

To gain more insight into the evolutionary development of orchid flowers and fruits, the orchid species Erycina pusilla was studied. The evolutionary origin of the median petaloid sepal, the callus on the labellum, and the stelidia was studied.

Galaxies are environments where gas coalesces, cools, and is converted into stars. However, it remains unclear the exact mechanisms through which galaxies acquire, redistribute and lose their gas.

Plants produce an astonishing variety of secondary metabolites (SMs) which are thought to play vital roles in the fitness of plants through ecological interactions.

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.

When observing star-forming galaxies, we are not only seeing stellar light, but we also see how this interacts with galactic gas and dust. This thesis contains studies of the stellar, nebular and dust properties of low mass star-forming galaxies.

In this dissertation, the synthesis and characterization of a series of iron complexes based on different ligand platforms are described.

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

This thesis aims to enhance our understanding of galaxies by testing theoretical models of galaxy formation against observations, particularly in the cases of extreme systems which have been found to have an excess of baryonic mass in their central regions, in the form of either supermassive black holes…

The logic seems inescapable indeed. The bigger the population, the higher the probability it contains an Einstein. Hence, bigger populations are more likely to develop complex culture.

BlaC is the β-lactamase of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. We show that it can recover from inhibition by clavulanic acid and that phosphate helps it do so.

Drie projecten met Leidse onderzoekers ontvangen van NWO een subsidie voor de bouw of vernieuwing van grootschalige onderzoeksfaciliteiten. Zij gaan werken aan elektronenmicroscopie, een X-omics initiatief en een röntgentelescoop. De projecten maken deel uit van de Nationale Roadmap voor Grootschalige…

This thesis presents pioneering work on the panchromatic emission of some of the most luminous galaxies in the early Universe: star forming galaxies and active galactic nuclei.

Evolutie is elke dag om je heen. Dat is de boodschap van de nieuwe Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) van de Universiteit Leiden en Naturalis die 19 september van start gaat.

Een internationaal onderzoeksteam met Leidse archeologen heeft overtuigend bewijs geleverd dat pre-Neanderthalers 300.000 jaar geleden over een hoge mate van cognitieve complexiteit beschikten.

Cursus

This thesis investigates how galaxies form and what diversifies the evolutionary histories of galaxies.

Leidse archeologen hebben een aantal botfragmenten geïdentificeerd, die twee jaar geleden in Duitsland zijn opgegraven: ze zijn afkomstig van een sabeltandtijger. Het bleken delen van de schedel van de prehistorische katachtige te zijn, van meer dan 300.000 jaar oud.
