Diffusion and clustering of isoforms of the glycine receptor in the plasma membrane of living cells: a micro- and nanoscopic study Hasselt University
Optimized Plastics Recycling from Waste Electric and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) through Product Clustering KU Leuven
Waste electric and electronic equipment (WEEE) is a large and increasing waste stream. To attain recycling targets set by the European Union, recycling of WEEE plastics is a necessity. The complexity of the polymeric composition of the stream and the possible presence of hazardous substances are substantial challenges in WEEE plastics recycling.
In this dissertation, the use of product clusters for improved recycling of ...
Predictive clustering for structured biomedical data. KU Leuven
In many areas of science, data is generated at an increasing pace, calling for adequate data mining tools to extract useful knowledge. Challenges encountered include the scale and the complexity (structure) of the data. An increasing number of new applications, including the analysis of complex biomedical data, motivate the adaptation of existing, and the design of new methodologies. In this project, we will develop new data mining methods to ...
Low rank tensor approximation techniques for up- and downdating of massive online time series clustering KU Leuven
In the MOMENTUM project research teams in Leuven and Lille (France) will study short recurrences for rational Krylov and orthogonal rational functions inspired by studying modified moments matrices. This will lead to new theory and algorithms for computing short recurrences. The theoretical envisaged enrichment is a thorough analysis of the displacement structure of the associated modified Gramians providing new (coupled) recurrences of the ...

Correlating structure and properties of novel functional molecular metal clusters deposited on surfaces and embedded in 3D matrices KU Leuven
Molecular metal clusters (MMCs) are metal aggregates below 20 atoms presenting a molecule-like behavior that confer them very promising functionalities for applications in diverse fields such as photonics, catalysis, and spintronics. Although a new class of high performance materials based on (multi)functional MMCs is rapidly growing, fundamental understanding of their (electronic) structure and their properties is today very often lacking, ...
Screening of the intrinsic properties of functional ingredients and their application in various meat products KU Leuven
The general objective of this project was to map the application potential of the heterogeneous group of functional ingredients (gums, fibers, proteins, etc.) in various types of heated meat products (in particular cooked sausage, liver paste and reformed ham) based on fast and simple measurements. These meat systems (cooked sausage, liver paste and reformed ham) were chosen based on the needs of the user group, consisting of 20 companies and ...
Whole brain mesoscale functional imaging in macaques KU Leuven
The macaque monkey model is widely used for neuroscience studies, as it allows researchers to use invasive tools to systematically study the brain. In addition, the macaque brain is anatomically and physiologically more similar to the human brain than other animals used in research. However, due to the small size of the macaque brain, higher spatial resolution imaging is required to obtain the same level of structural detail in the macaque as ...
