Decentralized plug and play systems for energy production are the future picture of our society. Artificial photosynthetic systems are used for this purpose.

Interactive exploration of large volumes of data is increasingly common, as data scientists attempt to extract interesting information from large opaque data sets. This scenario presents a difficult challenge for traditional database systems, as (1) nothing is known about the query workload in advance,…

Shape and biological function are tightly connected. Physical descriptions are used to connect the shape of a biological system with its function.

Stars like the sun are born in large molecular clouds existing from gas and dust. During the formation process, the chemical composition of the material can be altered drastically by the changing physical conditions.

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

Inverse problems are problems where we want to estimate the values of certain parameters of a system given observations of the system. Such problems occur in several areas of science and engineering. Inverse problems are often ill-posed, which means that the observations of the system do not uniquely…

Vitamin A or retinol is essential in embryonic development, the visual cycle and the immune system.

Op 21 september gaf Magdalena Jozwiak, onderzoeker bij eLaw - Centrum voor Recht en Digitale Technologie, een presentatie over het e-SIDES project tijdens een ILS Lunch Seminar.

GLOBOX is a spatially differentiated multimedia fate, exposure and effect model. It is used for the calculation of spatially differentiated LCA characterisation factors on a global scale.

By training with virtual opponents known as computer generated forces (CGFs), trainee fighter pilots can build the experience necessary for air combat operations, at a fraction of the cost of training with real aircraft.

One of the effects of climate change is the phenomenon of desertification, a process that occurs in semi-arid and arid areas and causes land degradation as well as vegetation loss. Due to the lack of resources, vegetation self-organizes to sustain itself by forming large-scale spatial patterns.

Het profileringsgebied Interaction between Legal Systems is multidisciplinair en stimuleert innovatief onderzoek met een inhoudelijke focus op de interactie tussen rechtsstelsels. Voor de komende onderzoeksperiode 2016-2020 zijn uit alle inzendingen drie winnende projecten geselecteerd.

In our research protein translocation from Agrobacterium into yeast and plant cells is studied to obtain fundamental insights in the translocation process

Op vrijdag 24 maart gaf prof: Amanda Perry-Kessaris (Kent Law School) een korte workshop over data visualisation voor de promovendi van de afdeling Economie. Tijdens deze workshop werden de promovendi uitgedaagd om door middel van LEGO hun onderzoek te visualiseren. Amanda Perry-Kessaris gaf daarna…

De sojasaus in onze keukenkastjes is niet iets van de laatste jaren. De saus maakt een belangrijk deel uit van de lange geschiedenis van de uitwisselingen tussen Azië en Europa. Dat zegt Anne Gerritsen vrijdag 12 december in haar oratie ter aanvaarding van de Kikkoman-leerstoel.

Can we distinguish the effects of pesticides from other abiotic and biotic factors that occur in the field? And how do these factors interact with pesticides?

Artificial photosynthesis has recognised potential to produce green and sustainable fuels from earth-abundant resources such as water, carbon dioxide (CO2), and sunlight.

Glucocorticoids (GCs) are widely prescribed as anti-inflammatory drugs due to their well-established immunosuppressive effects.

This study attempts to understand how indigenous community institutions pose an important role in sustainable community-based development, including the integration between local culture and development.

Artificial intelligence algorithms govern in subtle, yet fundamental ways, the way we live and are transforming our societies. The promise of efficient, low‐cost or ‘neutral’ solutions harnessing the potential of big data has led public bodies to adopt algorithmic systems in the provision of public…

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.
