We consider the propagation of electrical signals through nerve fibres.

Vast, often populated, areas in dryland ecosystems face the dangers of desertification.

In this thesis three different topics in number theory are studied.

An algorithm is discussed to compute the exponential representation of principal units in a finite extension field F of the p-adic rationals.

Early time-resolved experiments by Frauenfelder on the ensemble of the kinetic rebinding of CO to myoglobin molecules resulted in a stretched exponential relaxa-tion due to a very large spread of the reaction rates of individual molecules.

In my research, we developed a method to distinguish knots. A knot is a mathematical depiction of the everyday knot that occurs in ropes and cords.

This thesis is dedicated to the exploration of the primordial dark ages: unknown physics during the earliest stages of the Universe’s expansion that have not yet been directly probed by observations. Cosmic inflation is a burst of exponential expansion of space after the “Big Bang”.

Less than 1 in 10 drug candidates that enter phase 1 clinical trials actually gets approved for human use.

Describe and identify what dosimetry parameters are of importance to interpret dose-response relationships (eg., mortality, sub-lethal, growth or reproduction inhabitation, DNA damage and reactive oxygen species, etc. ) for metal-based nanoparticles? How to develop quantitative models that enable to…

Stéphanie van der Pas heeft bij de Leidse Universitaire Scriptieprijzen 2014 de eerste plaats behaald met haar scriptie “Almost the Best of Three Worlds: The Switch Model Selection Criterion for Single Parameter Exponential Families.”

Hoe komen in de Nederlandse politiek compromissen tot stand? Waarom zijn sommige compromissen beter dan andere? En in hoeverre zijn kenmerken van de politici die aan de compromisvorming deelnemen bepalend voor de morele kwaliteit van een compromis? Universitair docent dr. Patrick Overeem gaat in 2016…
