Local models and local convergence for maximum likelihood iterative reconstruction KU Leuven
Iterative methods are being increasingly used for
reconstruction of tomographic data as in computed tomography (CT) and positron
emission tomography (PET). These methods often yield better reconstructions
compared to analytical methods. An important reason for this is that iterative
reconstruction has a more flexible data acquisition model which allows for a
more accurate simulation ...
Impact of local pollutants on health: impact measurement and local approach KU Leuven
In this project, we focus on the approach of possible problems concerning local pollution by different pollutants:
- Which health problems do we expect for certain pollutants?
- How do we use data from Intego to measure the impact of strong local pollutants?
- Creating methods to support family doctors and other people concerned with local care and governing when a local pollution problem has been identified. Creating a ...
WomenU+2019s Participation in Decentralized Local Governance: The case of Pastoral and Non-Pastoral Women in Kondoa Local Authority, Tanzania. Ghent University
This research explores womenU+2019s participation in decentralized local governance in Tanzania. Specifically, the research explores how, why and the effect of pastoral and non-pastoral womenU+2019s participation in decentralized local governance. There has been a body of research done about participation and gender in Tanzania, however, limited information exists about womenU+2019s participation in governance beyond numbers.
Impact of local topology and local adaptation on network behaviour Ghent University
The research topics of this project are the use of biologically inspired principles in artificial neural networks, and the study of local and global network topologies. I develop a process for generating biologically plausible ANNs for complex temporal tasks. I start from state-of-the-art echo state networks.

Essays on local housing and real estate brokerage markets. KU Leuven
As noted by the late housing economist John Quigley (1979), housing markets are characterized by a peculiar combination of features, such as durability, spatial fixity and multidimensional heterogeneity. The combination of these features differentiate it from other product markets and it has been shown that they have a non-negligible impact upon market outcomes in housing and real estate brokerage markets. The inherent spatial fixation and ...
