Graded pointed Hopf algebras, PBW bases and noncommutative binomial theorem Hasselt University
One of pure structure constructions of Hopf algebras is to generate a free Hopf algebra (or a bialgebra) by a coalgebra. Such a free Hopf algebra is usually too big to have nice properties. So we usually consider its quotient Hopf algebras. This construction method produces a large number of examples of pointed Hopf algebras, such as quantum groups. This PhD thesis consists of two parts: (1) In order to study the quotient Hopf algebras ...

Prior sensitivity in theory testing: An apologia for the Bayes factor KU Leuven
A commonly voiced concern with the Bayes factor is that unlike many other Bayesian and non-Bayesian quantitative measures of model evaluation it is highly sensitive to the parameter prior This paper argues that when dealing with psychological models that are quantitatively instantiated theories being sensitive to the prior is an attractive feature of a model evaluation measure This assertion follows from the observation that in psychological ...

Halogen Bonding from a Hard and Soft Acids and Bases Perspective: Investigation by Using Density Functional Theory Reactivity Indices Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Halogen bonds between the trifluoromethyl halides CF3Cl, CF3Br and CF3I, and dimethyl ether, dimethyl sulfide, trimethylamine and trimethyl phosphine were investigated using Pearson's hard and soft acids and bases (HSAB) concept with conceptual DFT reactivity indices, the Ziegler-Rauk-type energy-decomposition analysis, the natural orbital for chemical valence (NOCV) framework and the non-covalent interaction (NCI) index. It is found that the ...
Le néopythagorisme, les Baals syriens et les divinités planétaires. Les théories de Cumont et le cas de la Vie dU+2019Apollonius de Tyane Ghent University
This paper discusses the theories of Franz Cumont on the influence of Stoics and Neopythagoreans on the diffusion of astrology and the emergence of astral mysticism in the Roman world and links this to a new religious and philosophical interpretation of the Life of Apollonius of Tyana.
Towards a new classification of the Arthoniales (Ascomycota) based on a three-gene phylogeny focussing on the genus Opegrapha Meise Botanic Garden KU Leuven
A multi-locus phylogenetic study of the order Arthoniales is presented here using the nuclear ribosomal large subunit (nuLSU), the second largest subunit of RNA polymerase II (RPB2) and the mitochondrial ribosomal small subunit (mtSSU). These genes were sequenced from 43 specimens or culture isolates representing 33 species from this order, 16 of which were from the second largest genus, Opegrapha. With the inclusion of sequences from ...
Phylogenetic utility of the AP3/DEF K-domain and its molecular evolution in Impatiens (Balsaminaceae) Meise Botanic Garden
APETALA3 (AP3)/DEFICIENS (DEF) is a MADS-box transcription factor that is involved in establishing the identity of petal and stamen floral organs. The AP3/DEF gene lineage has been extensively examined throughout the angiosperms in order to better understand its role in floral diversity and evolution. As a result, a large number of cloned AP3/DEF orthologues are available, which can be used for the design of taxon specific primers for phylogeny ...
