Dynamic business model qualities of the cooperative business model KU Leuven
In an unstable environment, identify the need for change, detect the opportunity, find the adequate response and apply it are key for most firms. However, even if investor-oriented firms and hybrid organizations share this need to adapt, they cannot manage it in the same way. Hybrid organizations include multiple institutional logics, they officially pursue a non-profit goal (social, environmental, etc.) while trying to ensure financial ...
Understanding therapeutic efficacy of calorie restriction in Alzheimer's disease: dynamic rsfMRI and vascular reactivity as biomarkers in an AD rat model University of Antwerp
Substructuring-Based Parametric Model Order Reduction Strategies for Efficient Structural Dynamic Simulation of Mechanical System Assemblies KU Leuven
With the continuous advancement of mechanical system assemblies, including vehicles, aircraft and machines, the emphasis on lightweight design for ecological and economic considerations and the utilization of multi-material combinations have become increasingly prevalent. Joints play an important role in ensuring the performance of these structures, effectively connecting the lightweight and multi-material components. Moreover, the pursuit of ...
Dynamic LCA model of the housing stock in Flanders KU Leuven
In Europe, the building sector is responsible for about 50% of the use of natural resources, 40% of energy use, and 16% of water use. Buildings are furthermore responsible for 36% of the total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the EU. Reducing the environmental impact of the building stock is therefore considered a priority to achieve the European climate and energy targets. Despite the recent advancements in material use and energy ...
Real-time dynamic model identification for a new generation of cobots KU Leuven
In this research you will contribute to the development, implementation and experimental validation of the novel control framework. This framework will take into account the payload dependent dynamic model of the robot system, including its flexibilities, in order to avoid or compensate vibrations resulting from the latter. Your focus will be on the development, implementation and experimentally validation of new off-line and on-line ...
Dynamic model based state-estimation approach for robomoulding KU Leuven
Robomoulding, robotized rotational moulding, is a novel polymer processing technique allowing to produce hollow complex parts in a more robust and economical way as compared to traditional rotational moulding. Polymer powder is place in the mould, which is mounted on a robotic arm, and is electrically heated and rotated, mostly using a rock-and-roll motion. The powder gets distributed along the mould and solidifies into a stress-free part. In ...
Digital Wellbeing in a Culture of Ubiquitous Connectivity: Towards a Dynamic Pathway Model Ghent University
Ubiquitous connectivity increases our autonomy: We can connect to content, contacts and services without time or place constraints. Paradoxically, however, ubiquitous connectivity also threatens that very autonomy: The addictive design of digital technologies diverts attention away from our primary activities, and in our contemporary culture of connectivity we face increasing pressures to be permanently online and permanently connected. This ...
