Deterministically counting k-paths and trees parameterized by treewidth in single exponential time
(2025)A valuable tool in evaluating the local structure of complex networks is the detection of network patterns, first described by Milo et al. (Science, 2002). Network patterns are small subgraphs that occur significantly ... -
"Swish and Flick!" Comparing Gestures and Menus in Defence Against Toxicity and Harassment in Social Virtual Reality.
(2025)This thesis explores the use of gesture-based interactions as a strat- egy to mitigate toxicity and harassment in Social Virtual Reality (VR) games. As these environments become more popular, the fre- quency of negative ... -
Expedition EVeresT: Exploring extracellular vesicles as regulators of T cell responses
(2025)Extracellular vesicles (EVs), including exosomes and ectosomes, are highly heterogenous lipid bilayer- enclosed structures comprising of various surface proteins and cargo molecules such as nucleic acids, (enzymatic) ... -
Grensoverstijgend feminisme: een transnationale analyse van de kunst van Sarah Lucas en Lee Bul
(2025)Deze scriptie analyseert de overeenkomsten tussen de feministische kunstpraktijken van de Engelse Sarah Lucas (1962) en de Zuid-Koreaanse Lee Bul (1964). De focus ligt op het concept van abjectie in hun kunst. De hoofdvraag ... -
Unveiling Microbial Profiles in Disease Suppressive Soils Using Long-read Shotgun Metagenomics
(2025)Soil microbial communities are crucial in agricultural ecosystems, particularly in plant disease suppression. A notable phenomenon in this context is soil-borne legacy (SBL), where microbial communities recruited by plants ... -
Navigating Academia: A Scientometric Study of Early-Career Factors Influencing Academic Mobility
(2025)The goal of this research is to understand the impact of researchers’ early-career factors on their mobility. By gaining more insights in this domain, we can derive what factors universities and government officials can ... -
Finding Space for Nature-Based Solutions in Cities: A Data-Driven Approach
(2025)Green spaces are crucial in cities to mitigate climate change impacts from urbanization, such as the urban heat island effect, air pollution, and urban flooding. Nature-based solutions can help resolve these problems in ... -
Can vivianite be produced when iron (oxyhydr)oxides react with sulfide?
(2025)Phosphorus is a vital nutrient element, but excessive amounts in water can lead to eutrophication. Vivianite (Fe3(PO4)2 · 8H2O), an iron phosphate mineral, can be an important sink for P in aquatic environments. To effectively ... -
Using Representation Learning for Scalable Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning in Heterogeneous Multi-Agent Systems
(2025)In multi-agent tasks with heterogeneous agents, effective solutions may rely on the ability of agents to behave differently. While such heterogeneous multi-agent systems are common, only a minority of Multi-Agent Reinforcement ... -
Further Defining Soterobionts as Microbes in Plant Disease Suppression and Their Potential Origins
(2025)Plants have co-evolved with microorganisms for millions of years, resulting in a variety of interactions. Recently, the term soterobiont (plural: soterobionts) has been proposed to define microorganisms that prevent disease ... -
Van Stadhuis tot Straat: Een analyse van gemeentelijke sturing ten aanzien van buurtwachten
(2025)In Nederland zijn buurtwachten de laatste jaren steeds gangbaarder geworden binnen het participatielandschap. Buurtwachten bestaan uit groepen bewoners die regelmatig surveilleren in een geografisch gebied, waarbij ze ... -
Investigating the Relationship between Perceived Quality of Recommended Content and User Gratifications on OTT Platforms
(2025)As technology evolves, so do user gratifications, requiring media platforms to evolve their features accordingly or risk being replaced. While numerous studies have applied the Uses and Gratifications (U\&G) theory to ... -

Bijbels taalgebruik in geschreven publieke media: een diachrone en religieuze vergelijking
(2025)Heeft religie invloed op de Nederlandse taal? Gezien de invloed van de Bijbel, waaronder de Statenvertaling, lijkt dit aannemelijk. Bijbelse invloed op de Nederlandse taal zien we vooral in grammaticale naamvalsvormen, in ... -
An analysis of dune evolution on Dutch barrier islands using a 3-dimensional model
(2025)Barrier islands are long landforms in front of coasts and are a vital part of the coastal defence. The islands protect the mainland from storms. Furthermore, they provide unique habitats, such as salt marshes. Barrier ...
