High power 450 kV CT scanner for dimensional quality control. KU Leuven
A high power 450 kV X-ray CT scanner for dimensional quality control of mechanical components. Its powerful source with micro focus, collimated beam and linear detector allows accurate measurement of dimensions of the internal geometry of large mechanical components (up to 300 mm material penetration for some metals).
All optical, high resolution, non-invasive, quality control of crystalline GRMs via imaging of their non-linear optical properties (GRAPH-EYE) University of Antwerp
Chemometrics and metabolite profiles for the prospective study and quality control of plants of pharmaceutical interest: bringing this untapped approach into the field Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The faecal microbiome in canine drug-resistant idiopathic epilepsy: from medium chain triglycerides and faecal microbial transplantation to a better epileptic seizure control and quality of life. Ghent University
The object of this study is to unravel the role of the faecal microbiome in the pathophysiology of canine idiopathic epilepsy and to examine the effect on faecal microbiome and the epileptic seizure control of two therapeutic strategies, namely 1) ketogenic diet enriched with medium chain triglycerides (MCT) and 2) faecal transplant in drug-resistant canine idiopathic epilepsy. First, the faecal microbiome in healthy dogs, dogs with ...
Cell envelope quality control by an essential GTPase as a novel cell cycle checkpoint in Escherichia coli KU Leuven
A thorough understanding of bacterial cell division and how this process is regulated is extremely valuable, not only from a fundamental point of view, but also from a clinical perspective. By interfering with the proper progression of this vital process, bacterial infections could be eradicated. However, at present, our insight into the regulation of bacterial cell division is limited, since regulatory factors that have been described are ...
Investigating cell type specific defects in protein quality control across the genetic landscape of Parkinson’s disease KU Leuven
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease without cure. Today >20 genes have been linked to familial PD of which most are involved in various aspects of protein quality control. But it is unclear how these defects ultimately manifest in overlapping pathology.
Intriguingly, several different PD fly models show similar transcriptome changes in defined single cell in the brains of young animals. The deregulated ...
Quality control of fresh concrete by advanced dispersion and attenuation characteristics of stress waves Ghent University
This project seeks a methodology based on stress wave techniques that can assess crucial parameters of the concrete performance from the moment after mixing, when there is still the possibility to adjust or reject the material before being permanent part of the structure. The investigation will be based on elastic waves (using innovative dispersion and attenuation parameters) and acoustic emission (AE).
