Machine Learning Analysis of Gut Microbiome Profiles in Infants from Different Feeding Practices and Their Association with Health Outcomes
(2025)Breast milk is widely recognized for its critical role in infant health, with emerging evidence indicating that early nutrition shapes the infant gut microbiome, immune system development, and long-term health. Feeding ... -
Towards Continuous Sleep Monitoring of Preterm Infants in Complex NICU Scenes: A Video-Based Approach Using Eye Cues
(2025)A fetus in the third trimester sleeps the majority of the day, which is important for the development of the brain. When born preterm, sleep is likely to be interrupted due to exposure to external stimuli, which could be ... -
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 ...
