Two dimensional modeling of elastic wave propagation in solids containing cracks with rough surfaces and friction - Part I: Theoretical background KU Leuven
Our study aims at the creation of a numerical toolbox that describes wave propagation in samples containing internal contacts (e.g. cracks, delaminations, debondings, imperfect intergranular joints) of known geometry with postulated contact interaction laws including friction. The code consists of two entities: the contact model and the solid mechanics module. Part I of the paper concerns the modeling of internal contacts (called cracks for ...
Two dimensional modeling of elastic wave propagation in solids containing cracks with rough surfaces and friction - Part II: Numerical implementation KU Leuven
Our study aims at the creation of a numerical toolbox that describes wave propagation in samples containing internal contacts (e.g. cracks, delaminations, debondings, imperfect intergranular joints) of known geometry with postulated contact interaction laws including friction. The code consists of two entities: the contact model and the solid mechanics module. Part I of the paper concerns an in-depth description of a constitutive model for ...
The BRCA1-Δ11q Alternative Splice Isoform Bypasses Germline Mutations and Promotes Therapeutic Resistance to PARP Inhibition and Cisplatin KU Leuven
Breast and ovarian cancer patients harboring BRCA1/2 germline mutations have clinically benefitted from therapy with PARP inhibitor (PARPi) or platinum compounds, but acquired resistance limits clinical impact. In this study, we investigated the impact of mutations on BRCA1 isoform expression and therapeutic response. Cancer cell lines and tumors harboring mutations in exon 11 of BRCA1 express a BRCA1-Δ11q splice variant lacking the majority of ...
La metáfora de la pirámide deportiva: el efecto trickle down y up en España” para que considere su Publicación en la Revista Internacional de Medicina y Ciencias de la Actividad Física y el Deporte Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The sports pyramid metaphor (trickle down and trickle up effect) has been used by several governments to justify their public investments in elite sport. The scientific evidence of this effect is fragmented; previous studies question its veracity. This study examines the effect of the sports pyramid metaphor in Spain.
Using Spearman's correlation coefficient (ρ), we tested for possible relationships between sporting success and the ...

Beyond Swiss Cheese and Bullet Holes - Part II. And Some Other Elements in Duchamp's Notorious Endspiel, Etant Donnés Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Stakeholders’ perceptions of athletic career pathways in Paralympic sport: from participation to excellence Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Athlete development in parasport is a complex domain. Evidence on
the developmental trajectories of para-athletes is necessary to examine
the critical determinants of specific para-athlete development models.
Underpinned by the existing athlete development models to gather
insights into the different developmental phases, this study explored
how athletic career pathways in parasport are developed by identifying ...

It's a Long Way to the Top: Determinants of Developmental Pathways in Paralympic Sport Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The literature suggests that the current athlete development models do not reflect the multifaceted developmental pathways in Paralympic sport. This study aimed to analyse how Para sport athletes progress through developmental phases of an athletic career pathway by comparing differences in their trajectories based on the nature of the impairment (acquired [AI] or congenital [CI]), age, and sex. A total of 345 Para athletes representing 15 ...
