Unfolding the role of Perk in T cell biology and metabolism: a matter of contact sites? KU Leuven
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) performs key cellular functions including protein and lipid synthesis/sorting, and calcium storage/signaling. To fulfil these functions the membranes of the ER physically connect with those of other organelles, like the mitochondria, through the agency of proteinaceous structures called membrane contact sites or MCSs. MCSs allow inter-organelle communication and are emerging as crucial signaling hubs for the ...
Social change in Southeast Europe after the Second World War: The view from the periphery Ghent University
The political economies of the states of Southeast Europe after the Second World War were shaped by the doctrine of development. In the long term and from a global perspective, development politics failed to advance the global position of the states of the region and to undo inequality within the region. Notwithstanding these failures, the social and spatial dynamics generated by the doctrine of development are essential to explain some ...
High Performance Embedded Architecture and Compilation Ghent University
Cyber-physical systems combine physical devices with computational resources for control and communication. Embedded computing is key for computers to interact directly with the physical world. The most common cyber-physical systems are modern cars, in which computers control the engine, braking, vehicle stability and support the driver. Cyber-physical systems are also present in energy networks, factories, automated warehouses as well as ...
Secure Collaborative Intelligent Industrial Assets KU Leuven
SeCoIIA aims at securing digital transition of manufacturing industry towards more connected, collaborative, flexible and automated production techniques. It fosters user-driven application cases from aeronautics, automotive and naval construction sectors. Collaboration is considered from Organization to Organization (O2O), but also from Machine to Machine (M2M), Machine to Human (M2H) and Human to Human (H2H) perspectives. Enhanced process ...

Industry 4.0 solutions for optimised value recovery from Waste Electrical and Electric Equipment (WEEE) KU Leuven
Demanufacturing activities consist of the disassembly of products to their separate components for recovery or further recycling as well as the disassembly or destructive processing of the separate components for the recovery of valuable materials. Remanufacturing activities consist of the subsequent cleaning, repairing, as well as refurbishing, upgrading and maintenance of recovered components or entire product assemblies. The potential of ...
Increasing Security on Industrial Machine Gateways using Trusted Computing Technology KU Leuven
The Industry 4.0 transition implies that industrial machines are no longer isolated. Connecting machines to an internal IT infrastructure and the Internet opens up new opportunities. Exposing sensor data to back-ends can increase the efficiency of the production process and improve the user experience. Although this transition increases the competitiveness of our factories, serious privacy and security risks emerge. Leaking too much ...
European Integrated Research Training Network on Advanced Cryptographic Technologies for the Internet of Things and the Cloud. KU Leuven
Summary
The goal of this ETN is to develop advanced cryptographic techniques for the Internet of Things and the Cloud and to create implementations that offer a high level of security and increased usability, for a wide range of physical computation platforms. The ITN will equip a group of 15 early stage researchers with a set of interdisciplinary skills combining mathematics, computer science and electrical engineering that will ...
Clustering Time Series KU Leuven
The notion of similarity is becoming more and more important in data analysis.
Comparing two objects quantitatively is a fundamental building block of most
machine learning algorithms, be it supervised or unsupervised. While for simple
mathematical objects, the notion of similarity might be intuitively clear (when
comparing how different two integers are, for example, we can just look at
the absolute difference ...
