Accumulation of metals in economy and environment and its associated risks, within the Netherlands and the EU.

Op 23 juni 2019 verdedigde Zygimantas Juska zijn proefschrift 'The Role of Collective Redress Actions to Achieve Full Compensation for Violations of European Union Competition Law'. Het promotieonderzoek is begeleid door promotor prof. dr. T.R Ottervanger.

This thesis focuses on using liposomes in two different treatment strategies; vaccination (or immunotherapy) and delivery of a small molecule, and in two different disease models; cancer and atherosclerosis.

The skin is our natural barrier and lipids are a key part of this barrier. In the outer skin layer, the stratum corneum (SC), lipids form a densely organized structure dependent on the composition of these lipids.

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.

Naar motivatie wordt al 100 jaar onderzoek verricht. En dat is niet verwonderlijk, want motivatie ligt aan de basis van ons bestaan. Waarom doen we de dingen die we doen? Waarom willen we iets, of stellen we juist uit? Maar ook in grote dingen: waarom worden we verliefd, kopen we een huis, starten we…

Laboratory, observation and modeling work on the dissociation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in interstellar environments and the formation of new molecular species through the fragmentation process.

This thesis addresses the problem of designing performance and energy efficient embedded streaming systems, that is, systems which process a stream of input data coming from the environment and generate a stream of output data going into the environment.

Material circularity and energy efficiency are highly relevant and intertwined issues for the transition towards a carbon-neutral and circular built environment. In the Netherlands, the building sector has been rendered a priority towards a circular and low-carbon society.
