The Institute of Environmental Sciences has carried out and participates in several projects that deal with the analysis of energy systems.

The thesis addresses the long-term dynamical evolution of hierarchical multiple systems.

Op 9 juni 2020 verdedigde Maral Darouei haar proefschrift 'Managing a sustainable career in the contemporary world of work: Personal choices and contextual challenges'. Het promotieonderzoek is begeleid door promotor prof.dr. J.I. van der Rest.

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.

There is an increasing amount of attention on EU and its Member States contributions to implementation of two landmark agreements: the Paris Climate Agreement and the UN Agenda 2030 with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Absent from the current literature is an analysis of the political effect of…

The rapidly increasing commercial application of metallic nanoparticles within products will inevitably enhance the amount of NPs being released into soil.

In this thesis, a system pharmacology approach, integrating metabolomics, pharmacology and chemical biology, was applied to understand and modulate the endocannabinoid system across different model systems (cells, zebrafish, mice and humans).

We have studied the impact of particle shape anisotropy, multivalent interactions and flexibility on systems of micron-sized colloidal particles.

Het doel van het onderzoeksprogramma Systems Pharmacology ligt in de ontwikkeling van strategieën voor gepersonaliseerde geneesmiddelen en de ontwikkeling van nieuwe systeemgebaseerde benaderingen in de translationele en klinische farmacologie.

Fungal food spoilage often starts with a contamination with spores. Experimental data strongly indicate the existence of subpopulations of spores with different levels of resistance to preservation methods.

Adenosine is an endogenous ligand which exerts its action by activating adenosine receptors (ARs), while its circulating levels are controlled via a variety of mechanism and proteins, amongst others the equilibrative nucleoside transporters (ENTs).

Systems are called real-time systems, if the correctness of the system does not only depend on the correctness of the system output but also on whether the output is delivered on time.

Wil jij laten zien dat duurzaamheid en het bedrijfsleven goed samen kunnen gaan? En ben jij klaar voor een uitdaging? Geef je dan op voor de Sustainable Business Battle, een zesweekse business case challenge waar studententeams bedrijven helpen met innovatieve én duurzame oplossingen.

De Sustainable Business Battle bestaat nog geen jaar, maar heeft nu al meerdere prijzen binnen weten te slepen. Zo namen de organisatoren vorige week nog de Green Trophy in ontvangst en nu kunnen ze ook de Van Bergen Prijs toevoegen aan hun prijzenkast.

Pectin is a plant cell wall polysaccharide made of mainly D-galacturonic acid (GA) subunits. The potency of the filamentous fungus Aspergillus niger to naturally secrete high amounts of pectinases to degrade pectin has been utilized for the industrial production of pectinases.

Het onderzoek van dit programma is gecentreerd rond dynamische systemen, functionele analyse en hun interactie.

According to the amyloid cascade hypothesis, accumulation of beta-amyloid (Aβ) peptides initiates the pathological cascade in Alzheimer's disease (AD).
