Multimodal input & cognition: An experimental study into the effect of text in Simultaneous Interpreting University of Antwerp
Numerical and experimental study of crowd-structure interaction. KU Leuven
For slender and lightweight structures, vibration serviceability is a matter of growing concern, often constituting the critical design requirement. In recent years, special interest emerged for structures subjected to human-induced loading, in particular for footbridges where the design freedom is restricted by fewer functional and structural demands. Currently, designers are forced to rely on - what are assumed to be conservative - ...
Media-Multitasking: the advertiser’s dream or nightmare? An experimental study to investigate the impact of media-multitasking on advertising processing and efectiveness. Ghent University
The main objective of this study is to identify new opportunities that arise from media-multitasking behaviour in order to improve advertising effectiveness. This goal will be achieved by 2 sub objectives:
- Getting a deep insight in the processing of advertisements while media-multitasking.
- Investigating how ads van be optimized within a media-multitasking context with the aim to increase their effectiveness.
Interplay between soil heterogeneity and plant spatial pattern: an experimental mesocosm study including a climate extreme. University of Antwerp
An experimental study on the effects of long term exposure to artificial light at night on free-living great tits (Parus major) and the effectiveness of part-night lighting as mitigating strategy. University of Antwerp
Towards a fundamental understanding of plasma for cancer treatment: A combined experimental and computational study. University of Antwerp
Human RF-EMF exposure in future 6G wireless access networks: numerical and experimental study Ghent University
Future wireless access networks will employ massive base station (BS) antenna arrays to dynamically focus the downlink transmission at users, creating the EMF hot-spots. To this day, our understanding of the user exposure to such hot-spots remains limited. There is a timely need for development of novel techniques to numerically study the interaction of human bodies and the hot-spot EMF in realistic exposure conditions, as well as ...
Numerical and experimental study of footbridge vibrations induced by running KU Leuven
Numerical and experimental study of footbridge vibrations induced by running The search for the perfect balance of financial, environmental and aesthetic aspects in designing modern footbridges has driven architects and engineers to conceive very slender and lightweight structures. However, this trend has resulted in structures to be increasingly sensitive to vibrations induced by walking and running pedestrians. Over the last two decades, ...
The mechanism of peripheral tolerance to self-antigens by melanocytic breaks at vitiligo: a clinical and experimental study Ghent University
Vitiligo is a common acquired pigmentary disorder, affecting approximately 1% of the world population. It is characterized by the progressive disappearance of melanocytes leading to skin depigmentations. Clinical observations and research findings have provided support that autoimmune responses (mainly T helper 1 response) against melanocyte self-antigens are involved in the pathophysiology of melanocyte destruction. Therefore, a central ...
