Biocontrol and anti-biofilm molecules to control rhizogenic agrobacteria in tomato cultivation (BARATOM). KU Leuven
This project aims to investigate alternative control systems of biofilm formation. In the first instance, the project focuses on companies with a tomato, cucumber or aubergine cultivation.
BINGE EATING AND PURGING IN COLLEGE STUDENTS: CROSS-SECTIONAL AND LONGITUDINAL MULTIVARIATE CORRELATES KU Leuven
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND Binge eating and purging behaviors (BPB) are symptomatic behaviors which can be present in eating disorders and other mental disorders, as well as in non-pathological conditions. Specifically, binge eating refers to episodes during which a person rapidly consumes an excessive quantity of food while feeling a sense of loss of control; purging behaviors are inappropriate compensatory behaviors, aiming to prevent ...

Sabbatical Brigitte Meijns: Church Reform and the Transformation of Society in the Low Countries (10th-12th C.) KU Leuven
During this sabbatical period I wish to fully focus on my research domain, i.e. the religious history of the high Middle Ages (10th -12th century). In a first phase (September-December 2022), the completion of three articles is planned: a historiographical article on reform within the secular clergy (for the Routledge Companion on Church Reform), a study on a little-known tenth-century treatise (Dialogus de statu sanctae ecclesiae) dealing ...
Europeana Libraries: Aggregating digital content from Europe's libraries Ghent University
The Europeana Libraries project will:
1. Bring to Europeana the digital collections of some of Europe's leading research libraries from 11 countries. The content is of the highest quality and is also significant in terms of scale, with some of the largest digital collections in Europe, including extensive collections from Google Books, theses and dissertations from DART-Europe and open-access journal articles via the Directory of Open ...
Optical design of structured organic light-emitting diodes and other light-emitting components Ghent University
In my dissertation, I introduce different types of anisotropy to Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLED) and demonstrate how these can be used to increase the efficiency of the device. A material is anisotropic when it has a physical property
that has a different value when measured in different directions. OLED devices are a type of Solid State Lighting (SSL) which consist, for the most part, of amorphous organic semiconductors. OLEDs have ...
Genotypic and phenotypic diversity within triticale in relation to cell wall digestibility Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
Can the crop triticale - a cross between wheat and rye - become a valid forage crop for dairy cattle when ensiled as an entire plant? That is the central question of this PhD project MELKGPS. In Northwest Europe, many dairy farms grow maize in monoculture. The idea of whole plant silage triticale (WP triticale for short), if a viable alternative to maize silage, could increase crop rotation on ...
