In meta-analysis, heterogeneity often exists between studies. In such cases, it is essential to investigate the sources of heterogeneity and understand the relationship between effect size and study characteristics (i.e., moderators).

This thesis describes the importance of being able to control the selectivity of potential drug candidates.

Stochastic resetting is simple enough to be approached analytically, yet modifies stochastic processes in a non-trivial way.

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.

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?

Marokko is een van de weinige landen in Noord-Afrika die aan de Arabische lente een vreedzame vorm heeft weten te geven door het pad van brede, gestage politieke hervormingen op te gaan. De Marokkaanse overheid verklaart de relatieve maatschappelijke rust daarnaast ook door haar islampolitiek, gericht…
