Recovery capital among substance users with a migration background: An analysis of user perspectives (REC-MIB) Ghent University
Recovery theory is well established in research, policy, and treatment practice in the UK, US and
Australia and has begun to emerge recently in the Belgian research context, as well as in policy since
2015. However, recovery (and particularly social) capital among substance users with a migration
background remains understudied in national as well as international literature. The aim of this
research ...

A silicon photonics based terahertz synthesizer Ghent University

waves with a frequency somewhere between those of cellphones and those used for thermal
imaging. These terahertz waves could be used for telecommunication since they can provide much
higher wireless data rates than the currently used 3G, 4G and WiFi technologies. This increase in
data rate is needed since wireless channels ...
