In this thesis we study the landscape of gravitational models which modify GR by introducing an additional scalar degree of freedom (d.o.f.) to source Cosmic Acceleration.

In de geest van ‘eenheid door verscheidenheid’ is ons doel het bevorderen van inzicht in en waardering voor het wonder dat dezelfde natuurkundige wetten en wiskundige concepten van toepassing zijn op de hele natuur, van de grootste tot de kleinste energie- en lengteschalen. Wij streven naar de toepassing…

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.

Waar gaan de quantummechanica, de relativiteitstheorie en de zwaartekracht elkaar vinden? Wat is het missende stukje? Of is er een compleet nieuwe theorie die alle vormen van materie elegant beschrijft?

Op woensdag 5 juni gaf Kalin Anev Janse, Secretaris-Generaal en lid Raad van Bestuur van het European Stability Mechanism (ESM), een lezing getiteld 'Bridging decision-making: a new direction for Europe? Prioritising financial stability: the European Stability Mechanism and the Banking Union'.

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…

Particles are omnipresent in biopharmaceutical products. In protein-based therapeutics such particles are generally associated with impurities, either derived from the drug product itself (e.g. protein aggregates), or from extrinsic contaminations (e.g. cellulose fibers).

With the energy transition toward a renewable energy supply and a CO2-neutral economy, electrification of the energy system is rising in importance, which leads to the challenge of long-term storage of renewable electricity.

This work describes several studies into the electroreduction of carbon dioxide (CO2RR), both regarding mechanistical aspects and catalyst stability considerations. Mechanistic insights into carbon-carbon bond formation on a silver catalyst are described in Ch 2, were we find an acetaldehyde-like surface…

The theoretical explanation of cosmic acceleration is nowadays one of the biggest puzzles in cosmology.

During my PhD research, I studied the photon statistics of light emitted by a microcavity that contains a single quantum dot (QD) on resonance.

Plants and their pollinators form complex interaction networks. Within these networks, species differ widely in the number of species they interact with.

The main focus of the thesis is the discovery and development of novel inhibitors of bacterial metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs).

The thesis mainly contributes to the characterization of Majorana fermions as they appear in the Condensed Matter context.

This thesis contributes to studying primordial cosmology theories and their detectability in future observations.

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”.

This thesis explores the theoretical and observational properties of distant massive galaxies that harbour active black holes in their centres and shine brightly at radio wavelengths.

This thesis describes a study from both a theoreticaL and an experimental point of view.

Public Administration is a major refereed journal publishing articles on public administration, public policy and public management.

This thesis aims to enhance our understanding of galaxies by testing theoretical models of galaxy formation against observations, particularly in the cases of extreme systems which have been found to have an excess of baryonic mass in their central regions, in the form of either supermassive black holes…

Catalysis is of extreme relevance in the production of everyday materials and plays a central role in many aspects of our life.
