Mixing it up: The potential benefits of cultivar mixtures under conservation tillage practices in organic agriculture (REVIEW)
(2024)Current agricultural practises cause soil degradation: Tillage causes soil disturbance and chemical pesticides and fertiliser use pollute the soil. Conservation tillage practises reduce soil disturbance and leave at least ... -
Oostwaarts. Over de rol van de omgeving van Nederlands-Indië op een representatie van de eind-negentiende- en vroeg-twintigste-eeuwse koloniale identiteit in De stille kracht van Louis Couperus.
(2024)This thesis analyses how the environment of the Dutch East Indies contributed to the formation of the identity of the Dutch coloniser in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth century, as described by Louis Couperus in ... -
The experiences and perspectives of patients who use or have used antidepressants regarding the antidepressant discontinuation process: a qualitative study
(2024)Background: Discontinuation of antidepressants possibly involves risks for patients such as experiencing withdrawal symptoms. Therefore patients should be properly guided and educated by health care providers (HCPs) in ... -
Writing an Asian perspective into the Dutch racism debate. An autoethnography of the lived experiences of Chinese-Indonesian restaurant, snack bar, and pub employees
(2024)Pivotal scholarship on racism in the Netherlands (Essed, 1991; Van Dijk, 1993; Essed & Hoving, 2009; Wekker, 2016) doesn’t pay much attention to racism experienced by people of Asian descent (Hoogervorst & Tarisa, 2021). ... -
A systematic review identifying seminal plasma biomarkers and their predictive ability on IVF and ICSI outcome
(2024)The high molecule concentration in seminal plasma makes seminal plasma a good potential source for an indicator (biomarker) which could predict assisted reproductive technology (ART) outcome. This review identified published ... -
2-D Fluid Catalyst Cracking Catalyst Films
(2024)Fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) is a process that is extensively used in industry. The catalyst that is used, a complex matrix of four components, is able to process a variety of feedstocks that can be converted toward ... -
Banking third-party multi-virus specific T cells brings an innovative treatment to bedside; a systematic review
(2024)Patients that have had allogenic stem cell transplantations (alloHSCT) are temporary prone to infections and viral reactivations. To overcome this problem, prophylaxis like antivirals are administered to risk patients and ... -
Promoting nature connectedness through nature-based activities: an underestimated pathway to healthy urban living
(2024)Natural green and blue spaces in urban environments are associated to numerous benefits, and increased nature connectedness (NC) has emerged as a potential mediator of nature exposure health benefits. However, there is ... -
Machine Learning for Detection and Localization of Motion-Blurred Nano-Emitters in Single-Particle Tracking
(2024)In this thesis, simulation software was optimized to accurately mimic real fluorescent imaging data, by performing a sequence of experiments. Subsequently, simulations were performed containing motion-blurred emitters (fast ... -
The impact of prophylactic and antiviral treatments for COVID-19: a modelling study
(2024)Layman's Summary Since early 2020, a pandemic is occurring due to Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). COVID-19 can range from an asymptomatic ... -
'Ik ben schilder, help mij'; Realisme in het vroege werk van H.W. Mesdag
(2024)Deze scriptie is het resultaat van een onderzoek naar de wijze waarop de realistische kunstopvatting van Haagse School-landschapschilder Hendrik Willem Mesdag zich gevormd heeft tijdens zijn leertijd. Deze vond plaats van ... -
A novel markerless multi-camera tool to early predict neurodevelopmental diseases like cerebral palsy in infants-at-risk
(2024)General movement assessment (GMA) is the most predictive tool for physical impairments like Cerebral palsy (CP). However, GMA has its limitations which might be diminished with the utilisation of modern deep-learning ... -
Addressing geographical bias in global CO2 flux predictions.
(2024)Carbon fluxes play an important role in our climate model on Earth. These fluxes have also been shown to be related to global warming. However, these fluxes are only measured at specific locations. Therefore, to obtain a ... -
Structure of CphA2 from Stanieria sp.; insights into oligomeric behaviour and substrate binding - Minor Research Project
(2024)Cyanophycin is a natural polymer found in a wide range of bacteria, where it functions as a reservoir for fixed nitrogen. Additionally, cyanophycin has various commercial application in bio-industry and biomedicine. ... -
Bandgap Engineering of Cs2AgBiBr6 for Improved Photochemical Activity
(2024)Photochemistry is a process based on transforming the energy of absorbed photons into chemical bonds. Here, sunlight-induced charge generation in a semiconductor material can facilitate the conversion of various (waste) ... -
Investigation into the preparation of supported nickel nanoparticles for CO2 hydrogenation via colloidal synthesis
(2024)The conversion of CO2 into CH4 using H2 can become an important part of the reduction of our carbon footprint, turning a `waste' molecule into a usable feedstock. This reaction can be catalysed by nickel (Ni) nanoparticles ...
