Learning from cohousing projects Ghent University
The aim of this project is to gain insight in existing Flemish cohousing projects. The research results will turned into policy recommendations on communal living contributing to sustainable development
Tree and wood quality research for the Flemish Forest-Wood Column Ghent University
This agreement involves the implementation of a one-year work program, which is oriented around the following priority research points. - In the context of sustainable forest management and ecological afforestation, longer operating times and more hardwoods are central, is a technological-economic evaluation of the production under this policy or produce wood necessary. - In the context of the various breeding programs, programs at the ...
Cementitious materials with photocatalytic properties to obtain self-cleaning and air-purifying activity Ghent University
This research project focuses on the developement of titanium dioxide coatings on cement based materials for obtaining self-cleaning and air-purifying properties. Different coating technologies are evaluated. The photocatalytic activity of the coatings is measured by fast screening methods and laboratory scale simulation tests for algicidal activity and air pollutant photo-degradation. The weathering resistance is evaluated in laboratory and ...
Power-Link Energy Knowledge Platform Ghent University
The energy knowledge platform Power-Link is a joint initiative of AG Port of Ostend and Ghent University, located in the science park Green Bridge in the port of Oostende. As a knowledge partner wants Power-Link with its university partners to become a West Flemish science platform on sustainable and renewable energy and raise awareness of rational, reductive and alternative energy. As a network partner, the DHE platform in the current, ...

QSAR driven design, synthesis and evaluation of anti-invasive chalcones and related heterocyclic compounds Ghent University
The project aims at a focussed synthesis of functionalised chalcones ans anti-invasive compounds against breast cancer. The activity of a wide variety of functionalised chalcones will be predicted first by a developed neural computer network and the most promising compounds will then be synthesized and tested in the chick heart fragment test. The obtained results will serve as feedback in order to optimize the CODESSA programme.
Synthesis of diamino acid derivatives with a cyclopropane or aziridine skeleton and their application in the synthesis of potential physiologically active alpha, gamma-dimainobutyric acid derivatives Ghent University
The synthesis of constrained x, B- or x, Y-diamino acid derivatives as building blocks for new substituted 2,4-diaminobutyric acid derivatives is of great importance in medicinal and agricultural chemistry. This research concerns the development of stereoselective syntheses and biochemical evaluation of new derivatives of 1,2-diaminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid, 2-amino-2-aziridin-2-ylacetic acid and 2-amino-3-aziridin-2-ylpropionic acid ...
