C*-Actions and Takai Duality
(2022)The study of classical dynamical systems deals with actions of locally compact Hausdorff groups on locally compact Hausdorff spaces. It is long recognized that classical dynamical systems can be studied successfully via ... -
C-KIT receptor on mast cells as a possible target for the treatment of colorectal cancer
(2023)The role of mast cells (MCs) in the development and progression of colorectal cancer has long been investigated. A high density of these immune cells, which are able to release numerous pro-tumorigenic factors, has been ... -
C-type lectin receptors: pioneers in carbohydrate recognition on microbes
(2014)C-type lectin receptors (CLRs) comprise a group of advanced receptors, expressing the ability to recognize carbohydrates on host and microbial cells in a Ca2+ dependent manner. The family of CLRs is roughlydivided in ... -
C. difficile in neonatal piglets on 3 Dutch farms; a cohort study
(2018)Introduction Clostridia species play a major role in the intestines of neonatal pigs and are an important part of the anaerobic microbiota during the first days of life. Also, Clostridium difficile is a known cause of ... -
Cabaret Serieus Nemen: De Overtuigingskracht van Humor in Cabaret op Laag- en Hoogopgeleiden
(2017)Van humor is algemeen bekend dat het sterke overtuigingskracht heeft. Het in Nederland zeer populaire cabaret zou door het gebruik van humor wellicht mensen kunnen overtuigen van belangrijke maatschappelijke kwesties. In ... -
Cache optimization for sparse matrix-vector multiplication
(2015)In this thesis we introduce a cost measure to compare the cache- friendliness of different permutations of the rows and columns of a given matrix. And we implement a simple algorithm that tries to reorder the rows and ... -
Cadherins in Autism Spectrum Disorders
(2012)Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are developmental disorders with a multiple genetic background. Many genes have been shown to be associated with ASD, including genes coding for cell-adhesion molecules. These molecules are ... -
Caenorhabditis elegans: an overview of milestones, genome manipulation techniques and perspectives for the future.
(2011)C. elegans is a well studied animal model and allows researchers to study basic and complex biological processes in a relatively simple multi-cellular environment. However, until recently, researchers did not have the ... -
Caesar Augustus Divi Filius Pater Patriae: De rol van representaties bij de constructie van Augustus' publieke identiteit
(2011)Aan de hand van de Aeneïs van Vergilius, het Forum van Augustus met de tempel van Mars Ultor en de Res Gestae is onderzocht welke rol representaties speelden bij de constructie van de publieke identiteit van Augustus. -

(2008)Café Forever is a mission centre that is part of London City Mission. A few years ago, it changed from a traditional LCM community centre called Glengall Christian Centre, into Café Forever. In various ways Café Forever ... -
Calcified cartilage tissue engineering: a comparison of hydroxyapatite and β-tricalcium phosphate bioinks
(2022)654 million people worldwide suffer from knee osteoarthritis, resulting in a reduced quality of life for patients and a burden on the healthcare system. Tissue engineering strategies represent a promising alternative to ... -
Calcium influx and the progesterone-induced acrosome reaction in stallion spermatozoa
(2020)In vitro fertilization has been successfully applied in humans, rodents and dairy cattle but remains unsuccessful in the horse. One of the main proposed reasons is that the sperm cells fail to penetrate the zona pellucida ... -
Calcium siganlling in the heart. From contraction to gene expression.
(2011)The human heart contracts approximately 75 times per minute under resting conditions. These contractions are mediated by fluctuations in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration. In heart failure the cardiomyocytes are not able to ... -
Calculating the effective potential of a conformal scalar-tensor theory
(2020)This thesis investigates a certain Weyl symmetric scalar-tensor model. Previously it’s been shown that spontaneous breaking of Weyl symmetry offers an elegant mechanism for inflation. The thesis attempts to extend the ... -
Calculation of Cech homology of Hawk-Eye data
(2018)Many tennis players attempt to participate on the highest level. Almost as many players do not make it to the top. In this thesis Hawk-Eye data is investigated to determine the actual difference in the first serve between ... -
Caledonian Deformation in the Oslo Region, updating the regional tectonic model.
(2015)Tectonically the Oslo Region is part of the Osen-Røa nappe which is the most external part of the Scandinavian Caledonides. The region extends roughly 100 km north and south of the city of Oslo, Norway, and contains a ... -
Calibrating HPT-profiles with micro-CT scans using upscaling from pore to field scale
(2021)The potential of calibrating HPT-profiles with micro-CT scans using upscaling from pore-scale to field-scale has been investigated. Undisturbed samples ranging from clayey silt to fine sand have been retrieved along a 9m ...
