Unfolding potential

This thesis focuses on the X-ray spectral analysis of merging galaxy clusters and the plasma code development for future high-resolution X-ray spectroscopy observations.

In the thesis the dynamics of strategies is studied from two perspectives.In the first part of the thesis strategies are considered to be opinions present in a community.

Galaxies form and evolve through close interaction with their surroundings. As a result, the heavy elements ('metals') that are synthesized in stars, are found both inside and outside galaxies.

Veel kinderen leren niet op een niveau dat aansluit bij hun potentieel om te leren. Diagnostiek in de leerlingbeleiding zou daarom inzicht moeten geven in hoe een kind begeleid kan worden in het verder ontwikkelen van zijn of haar sterke kanten terwijl het tegelijkertijd handvatten biedt voor het ondersteunen…

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.

In this thesis, the research focuses on the properties of dark matter and dark matter haloes and how they connect with the galaxies we can observe in the Universe.

In this thesis, I study the formation of large-scale structure and the physics of particle acceleration at large scales (~Mpc).

An assessment approach that tailors to children’s instructional needs

Hoe beinvloed de structuur van één enkel gen de activiteit van genen die gevoelig zijn voor hormonen?

The solar system was formed approximately 4.56 billion years ago. Despite the numerous theories that have been developed over the years, the formation and evolution of the solar system still remain unclear.

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.

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.

Bacteria often experience external challenges, such as changes in environmental conditions or attacks by bacteriophages.

In this thesis, we study travelling waves in stochastic reaction-diffusion equations. We extend techniques from the deterministic theory for travelling waves to apply to the stochastic version, which allows us to compute the stochastic wave speed and shape, and draw conclusions on the stability of the…

In this thesis, we present new laboratory data of interstellar dust analogues.

Het onderzoek in dit proefschrift kijkt naar de rol van het locus ceuruleus - noradrenalinesysteem in verscheidene aspecten van menselijke cognitie, en de modulatie van de staat van het brein.

In previous studies at our laboratory it was demonstrated that drug exposure of HepG2 cells can lead to an altered TNFα-induced NF-κB oscillatory phenotype, concurrent with a synergistically increased sensitivity for TNFα-induced apoptosis.

In this thesis, the focus lies on studying glucocorticoid receptor dynamics in living cells with the aim of understanding how this transcription factor finds its DNA target sites to regulate transcription.

Unconstrained day-to-day activities are difficult to quantify and how the corresponding movements shape the brain remain unclear. Read more
