Using 3D protein models to uncover genetic risk in ALS
(2024)Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease that is characterized by the involvement of rare genetic variants. Disease association of single rare variants can often not be tested. Therefore, ... -
Clinimetric properties of the CoCo-P: can we really distinguish cognitive functions?
(2024)Background: The Cognitive Complaints – Participation (CoCo-P) identifies cognitive complaints, specifically memory, attention, and executive functioning, as well as fatigue during participation. The CoCo-P seemed appropriate ... -
Designing Nature Positive Cities by applying Ecosystem-level Biomimicry
(2024)The impact of cities, such as biodiversity loss, climate change, and pollution, on local and far away natural ecosystems causes significant concerns within multiple sectors, prompting the need for sustainable solutions and ... -
Comparison of Culturing and Metabarcoding methods to describe the fungal microbiome of a Dutch forest soil along a gradient of CaCO3 treatments
(2024)Metabarcoding has gained popularity over traditional culturing methods as a more effective way to assess fungal biodiversity. Despite its potential, it still lacks the precision and taxonomic resolution of conventional ... -
Tailoring Cation Exchange in Nanomaterials
(2024)In this thesis, metal exchange in two different nanocrystalline systems is explored. Firstly, the partial In3+ for Cu+ cation exchange in a colloidal nanocrystal system of copper sulfide is studied. Excess trioctylphosphine ... -
