Evaluation of archaeological glass samples from the archaeological site of Vergina via a combination of analytical techniques and subsequent statistical analysis Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The chosen subject falls within the domain of archaeometry and focuses on the study of archeological glass from the site of Vergina (Macedonia, Greece) using a combination of analytical techniques. Our goal was to answer certain archaeological queries regarding the provenance of the samples and, additionally, to investigate the necessary steps for organizing a holistic research approach for similar analytical problems and the ways of extracting ...
A linear formulation for misaligned helical gear contact analysis using analytical contact stiffnesses KU Leuven
A comparative assessment of analytical gear mesh stiffness modelling techniques is presented in this study, culminating into an optimized method for spur and helical gear stiffness modelling. First, by selectively combining different analytical methods presented in literature, the total stiffness of a spur gear pair is obtained as a series and parallel connection of springs. In doing so, an overall compliance matrix is obtained that relates the ...
Comprehensive analysis of floral scent and fatty acids in nectar of Silene nutans through modern analytical gas chromatography techniques Meise Botanic Garden
The aim of this work was to show the potential of multidimensional gas chromatography combined with mass spectrometry and suitable chemometrics means based on untargeted and profiling data analysis to strengthen the information provided by floral scent and nectar fatty acids of four genetically differentiated lineages (E1, W1, W2, and W3) of the nocturnal moth-pollinated herb Silene nutans. Volatile organic compounds emitted by flowers were ...
Thematic analysis : an analytical method in its own right Ghent University
Development and evaluation of novel analytical methods for high-precision isotopic analysis of Ca and Mg via MC-ICP-MS for biomedical investigations Ghent University
Comparison of three different analytical protocols for 2019 updated D2425 method for renewable jet fuel product certification analysis KU Leuven
ASTM standard specification D7566 covers the manufacture of synthetic aviation turbine fuel components and their blends with conventional Jet fuel (Jet A or Jet A-1). One of the components is renewable jet fuel (RJF) which is synthetic paraffinic kerosene (SPK) made from hydroprocessed esters and fatty acids (HEFA). The specification D7566 dictates property requirements for the SPK-HEFA, including concentration limits for selected hydrocarbon ...
Analysis of Silences in Music: Theoretical Perspectives, Analytical Examples from Twentieth-Century Music, and In-Depth Case Study of Webern’s Op. 27/iii KU Leuven
Silences have recurrently been a concern for whoever wrote about music. Despite the large amount of musicological literature available on the topic, much of the treatment that silences have received in the past is rather philosophical or speculative: Does silence exist? Is silence music? These musicological discussions sprung out as a reaction to John Cage's provocative and controversial composition 4'33''. Acknowledging the inexistence of an ...
Archetype analysis in sustainability research: methodological portfolio and analytical frontiers KU Leuven
Novel analytical protocols for elemental and isotopic analysis of lead coins—Sasanian lead coins as a case study Vrije Universiteit Brussel KU Leuven
This paper presents a new non-destructive sampling method for the lead isotope analysis of lead objects using acidified cotton swabs. The results are indistinguishable within error margin from conventional sampling methods. This method was applied to a series of Sasanian lead coins from the Royal Museums of Art and History as well as a private collection. Elemental analysis was performed using micro-X-ray fluorescence. Isotopic analysis was ...
