The development process of any software has become extremely important not just in the IT industry, but in almost every business or domain of research.

Hot astrophysical plasma is ubiquitous in the Universe, from comets in our Solar system to the largest scale structures -- the cosmic web filaments. These hot plasmas, with the temperature of a few millions of degrees, are often observed in the X-ray wavelength range.

1. To what extent do metallic NPs added to soil extractions change the activity, abundance, or community composition of microbes? 2. How do the effects of metallic NPs on soil microbes differ from the effects of the ions shedding from corresponding NPs?

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.

This thesis attempts to interrogate post-1991-2015 political development in Ethiopia, focusing on the political discourses espoused by the government and opposition, using the discourse analysis method and securitization theory.

The aim of this thesis is to expedite and ensure the systematic accuracy of clearance scaling from adults to paediatric patients, with a special focus on drugs undergoing hepatic metabolism.

Whilst government’s ability to design ‘context-specific’ regional innovation policy is generally assumed to depend on the region’s decision-making power, the aim of this study is to investigate how regional government matters. In order to open up the black box of policy design, the study develops a…

An important part of the SCS specialisation is the internship period. Students will get the opportunity to get to know the field and to apply what they have learned during the courses.

We developed the bitterling as a unique, well-studied model organism in the area of the evolutionary ecology of brood parasitism. The bitterling-mussel relationship, interspecific mussel host preference, and mussel gill structure are studied in detail, to help understand the developmental adaptation…

Het verzamelen en interpreteren van grote hoeveelheden data is niet meer weg te denken uit de maatschappij en de wetenschap. De Universiteit Leiden is een kennis- en expertisecentrum van data science dat de nadruk legt op interdisciplinaire samenwerking en innovatie.

Het merendeel van de wetenschappers, van archeologen tot zoölogen, verzamelt enorme hoeveelheden gegevens. Hun databanken bevatten grote hoeveelheden informatie die voor de mens moeilijk te filteren zijn. Met een stevige basis in de statistiek en de computerwetenschappen kunnen we algoritmes ontwikkelen…

Computers zijn in staat om ongelooflijk nauwkeurige voorspellingen te doen op basis van machine learning. Met andere woorden, deze computers kunnen zonder tussenkomst leren als ze eenmaal door mensen zijn voorgeprogrammeerd. Bij LIACS verkennen en verleggen we de grenzen van wat een revolutionaire nieuwe…
