Understanding and guiding the phase inversion process for synthesis of solvent resistant nanofiltration membranes KU Leuven
© 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2015, 132, 42130. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Since its introduction in membrane technology in the 1960's, phase inversion by means of immersion precipitation has been widely studied for the preparation of membranes to be applied in the fields of microfiltration (MF) and ultrafiltration (UF). However, much less knowledge is available about this process in terms of integrally skinned ...
Understanding entropy generation during the execution of business process instantiations University of Antwerp
The instantiation and execution of business processes typically generates an enormous set of data, including financial-and accounting-related information, based on different aggregation levels. As a result, it can be very complex to draw conclusions from this data, such as which steps in a business process are causing delays or, in an accounting context, which tasks are causing high costs. In this paper, we relate this complexity generated ...
Understanding the academic and social integration process of students entering higher education University of Antwerp
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic caused disruptions in numerous fields, including higher education. New students have been identified as a vulnerable sub-population experiencing stress and mental health problems due to the pandemic. Little research, however, explores how and why they are particularly vulnerable. We aimed to answer (1) how new students experienced their academic and social integration process during the pandemic and (2) how ...
Understanding the process of agricultural technology adoption: mineral fertilizer in eastern DR Congo KU Leuven
We analyze the adoption of mineral fertilizer in South-Kivu. We model technology adoption as a three-step-process, including awareness, tryout, and adoption; and empirically analyze these steps using cross-sectional farm-household data, and bivariate and Heckman selection probit models. We find that awareness about fertilizer is high (57%) and mainly determined by education and social capital. Tryout is low (13% of aware farmers) but positively ...
Germanium MOSFET devices: Advances in materials understanding, process development, and electrical performance KU Leuven
Germanium possesses higher electron and hole mobilities than silicon. There is a big leap, however, between these basic material parameters and implementation for high-performance microelectronics. Here we discuss some of the major issues for Ge metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs). Substrate options are overviewed. A dislocation reduction anneal >800 degrees C decreases threading dislocation densities for Ge-on-Si ...
