26 000 Total Hip Arthroplasties (THA) were performed in Belgium in 2015 and this number increases yearly. 80% of THA are cementless, hence the implant is press-fitted in to the bone. Inadequate intraoperative fixation of the implant is one of the main reasons for revision surgeries. Moreover, excessively press-fitting the implant in the bone may cause intra-operative fractures. These revisions and intra-operative fractures pose a significant ...
In the UGent NXTGNT NGS sequencing laboratory, the Roche LightCycler 480 II qPCR system has served dozens of UGent researchers across several faculties, contributing to hundreds of publications. Also, dozens of external universities, institutions, and commercial partners have benefitted from the system. Most of these researchers indirectly used the system by performing NGS library preparation in the NXTGNT lab. The qPCR system performs ...
Several recent papers have raised the issue of the poor performance of risk preferences measured in experiments and surveys. I aim to present a different view on these issues, while taking the challenges seriously. In particular, I posit that most of the apparent contradictions highlighted in the recent literature can be organized by a systematic theory of measurement
error.
Database systems are diverse in nature. They have limits with respect to the data model that can be used and usually focus on specific applications. Choosing the right system is therefore not always trivial. We propose a novel measurement system that allows to compare data models in a quantitative
manner by evaluating them in an operational, task-oriented context.
