PSYNC: Working together for mental health Ghent University
PSYNC represents a new model of interdisciplinary research collaboration. Through improved internal synergy, international visibility, recruitment capacity and a focus on societal impact, PSYNC contributes to a better mental health. The experience and expertise can be located at the level of the consortium: the interplay between coordinator, promotors, research teams and central services, with a crucial role for the coordinator.
Essays on the elimination of high-dimensional nuisance parameters KU Leuven
The aim of this research is to develop methods for the elimination of nuisance parameters in high-dimensional settings. The high dimensionality is a key ingredient in data-rich applications and can come from a variety of sources. For example, trade data are indexed by origin, destination, time, industrial sector, and possibly subdivisions thereof. Each of these indices may carry its own set of nuisance parameters to control for effects of ...
Portable Raman instrumentation for non-destructive analysis of art objects Ghent University
Raman spectroscopy is well-suited for pigment analysis. Typically, this approach suffers interferences caused by fluorescence (prompted by varnish layers, binders, degradation products). By using an infrared laser it is feasible to study organic compounds and simultaneously avoid fluorescence. This proposal includes mobile Raman instrumentation with different lasers, adapted stages and lenses with long working distances, developed for ...
Thermal analyses and characterisation of fused filament fabrication KU Leuven
Fused filament fabrication (FFF) is the most accessible 3D printing or additive manufacturing technology to the general public and professional customers. It has been increasingly used in daily life, as well as primary, secondary and higher education, and industries such as automotive, aerospace and medicine.
FFF employs a thermoplastic filament to fabricate a 3D part in an additive manner, typically strand-by-strand and then ...
Archaeological evaluation, appreciation and spatial delineation of the disappeared Zwinhavens of 'Hoeke' and 'Monnikkenrede' Ghent University
Are you shy or are you bold? Is personality along the bold-shy axis linked with foraging behaviour, physiology and reproductive investment in northern fulmars? University of Antwerp
Gauging the strength of Fraisse's order-type conjecture Ghent University
We seek to find the exact logical strength of a certain mathematical theorem commonly known as Fraisse's Conjecture, using the method of Reverse Mathematics. The usual pattern in mathematics is that, in order to establish that a theorem is true, we must obtain a proof. The proof will consist of a few self-evident statements called "axioms," from which we logically deduce new statements, and so on, until eventually we arrive at the theorem in ...
MoMarSce: Scenarios of marine population connectivity and adaptation for coastal zone management KU Leuven
Global change measurably influences the evolution of marine populations. We hypothesize that impact varies according to the spatio-temporal distribution of the drivers influencing diversity. To assess the impact we combine existing and new information on connectivity, population size and fitness (life history traits) of marine larvae and juveniles into an existing bio-physical model of flatfish larvae. It will be complemented with an adaptive ...
