Projects
Integrated process monitoring and control of active pharmaceutical ingredients production via tensor based data driven modeling methods. iMPC4API KU Leuven
General purpose
The ultimate goal of this project is to develop an advanced data driven modeling methodology for full scale plant-wide API production processes. The constructed models are intended for advanced monitoring and control of the processes, which are understood as integrated systems formed by multiple heterogeneous subsystems. Therefore the key aspect is learning the relationships between process variables along the process ...
Integrated control of allium leafminer in leek PCG-Vegetable Research Centre
The main objective of this project is to develop an integrated management strategy for the allium leaf minder in leek. This management strategy is based on the three pillars of Integrated Pest Management (IPM): prevention, monitoring and integration of different control methods. A good and reliable monitoring system is essential in order to prevent the pest from being noticed until it becomes impossible to prevent economic damage, even ...
Dynamic Modeling of Macro-Fiber Composite Transducers Integrated into Composite Structures KU Leuven
Composite structures have been already widely applied in engineering. Laminated composites using isotropic or anisotropic layers provide numerous options for designing lightweight structural components, that have high static stiffness and excellent impact resistance for automotive and aerospace products. However, lightweight structures can be susceptible to external disturbances due to mass reduction and light damping in many cases. As a ...
Environmental change across the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary: An integrated, multi-proxy approach KU Leuven
The Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) boundary mass extinction event is inextricably linked to the direct consequences of the Chicxulub impact 66 million years ago. Yet, it has been argued that other environmental factors, such as climate change caused by pre-impact Deccan Traps mantle degassing, and sea-level change across the K-Pg boundary, could have contributed to this mass extinction event. This dissertation aims to clarify to what extent ...
Towards a knowledge-based approach for an integrated control of Alternaria spp. in potatoes Centre for Applied Research and Extension in Potatoes
After six seasons of intensive monitoring of potato fields, analysis and diagnosis, laboratory, greenhouse and field trials, a good picture of the real Alternaria problem in Flanders was obtained: importance of the pathogen, occurrence of the disease in space and time, influence of weather , crop and cultivation factors. This knowledge forms the solid basis of the decision support system that is widely applied in practice, in order to ...
Tracing and Integrated Modelling of Natural and Anthropogenic Effects on Hydrosystems: towards sustainable solutions - TIMOTHY 2 Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The general objective is to develop, validate and apply tools to describe and evaluate the past (1970 for ...
Scientific research on the integrated security approach to the Port of Antwerp. University of Antwerp
Integrated Approach in Management of Coastal Cultural Heritage KU Leuven
Humans have had a long history of interconnectedness with the sea and ocean due to the use of natural resources available in the coastal areas. These interactions have influenced the natural landscape and play a crucial role in the formation of coastal cultural heritage. Coastal cultural heritage, a continuum of land and sea, is an important part of our cultural resources in the coastal areas. Presently, coastal cultural heritage has not been ...
