New Quantitative Methods for Model Risk Assessment in the Banking and Insurance Industry Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Quantitative microbial risk assessment on water in primary vegetable sector Ghent University
This PhD sonder search will be the one paid attention to the conditions for use (irrigation) water during cultivation and after -oogstbehandelingen of fruits and vegetables. Water can be a transmission route for pathogens. Next zoonotic bacterial pathogens such as Salmonella, Campylobacter and VTEC zijnook viruses (eg. Norovirus, Rotavirus) enteric pathogens that can contaminate through water, vegetables and fruits. Methods will be ...

Landslide Risk and Risk Reduction: A Quantitative Outlook on a Socio-Environmental Issue in Uganda KU Leuven
I adopt a quantitative approach to measure the causes and consequences of landslide risk in the Rwenzori mountains in Uganda. I thereby aim at contributing to a better understanding of the causal pathways that lead to the reproduction of risks in the region.
The first chapter sets the scene. It introduces the research concepts and highlights relevant problems in micro-economic literature. I start by presenting the view that disaster ...
Ecosystem Services (SUMES): Towards a quantitative holistic sustainability impact assessment tool Ghent University
The SUMES project aims to develop a comprehensive model to assess the impact of human-induced changes on the marine ecosystem and beyond. The model investigates the structure (e.g. biodiversity) and function (e.g. food chains, biogeochemistry) of the marine ecosystem, its capacity to provide goods and services (e.g. sequestration of carbon) and the effect of activities on the aforementioned aspects. The model integrates Ecosystem Services, ...

An Integrated European 'Flagship' program: Driving Mechanism-based Toxicity Testing and Risk Assessment for the 21st Century. KU Leuven
The vision of EU-ToxRisk is to drive a paradigm shift in toxicology towards an animal-free, mechanism-based integrated approach to chemical safety assessment. The project will unite all relevant disciplines and stakeholders to establish: i) pragmatic, solid read-across procedures incorporating mechanistic and toxicokinetic knowledge; and ii) ab initio hazard and risk assessment strategies of chemicals with little background information. The ...
