Well partial ordenings in proof theory and maximal order types Ghent University
The most important code for a mathematical proof system from logic is the proof-theoretic ordinal. In many cases, this proof-theoretic ordinal can be calculated as the maximal order type of a well partial ordening (hereafter wpo). We will investigate wpo's of (non-ordered) trees, wpo's in mathematical practice (e.g. in reverse mathematics and proof theory) and phase transitions concering wpo's.
Striking Essential Oil: Novel tools and new insights to study the biological activities of essential oils (EOs) and their components (EOCs) KU Leuven
The increasing level of antimicrobial resistance poses the threat that no suitable antimicrobials will be available for systematic treatment of common diseases. More and more Candida infections are caused by intrinsically and multi-resistant Candida isolates. There is clearly renewed scientific interest in discovering drugs from natural sources, although natural product-based drug discovery is considered intrinsically ...
Policy Research Centre U+2018Transitions for sustainable developmentU+2019 (TRADO) Ghent University
TRADO is a consortium of KU Leuven, Ghent University, VITO and Erasmus University Rotterdam. The research programme of TRADO focuses on different aspects of sustainability transitions that have been underdeveloped in the literature and that can support the Flemish GovernmentU+2019s transition approach.
One-step catalytic conversion of ethanol into 1,3-butadiene KU Leuven
The interest in the production of 1,3-butadiene these days is increasing in both academic and industrial research. Researchers are looking for alternative on-purpose production routes to replace the current 1,3-butadiene supply as byproduct in the naphtha steam crackers, for ethylene production, to disconnect the supply and price from the ethylene demand. Different routes are available for such on-purpose production of 1,3‑butadiene, like the ...
Sabbatical Yves Vanlandewyck: Development and implementation of the Swedish Paralympic Academy KU Leuven
The Swedish Paralympic Academy is a consortium of Swedish universities engaging in Para-sport research, acting as a knowledge base for the inclusion of Para-sport related topics in existing university study programs and the delivery of counseling to Para-sport organizations. The Swedish Paralympic Academy unifies national Para-sport science competence in a multi-disciplinary, multi-disability, and multi-sport approach, spanning the entire ...

How Nanofluids Influence Droplet impact on a Solid Substrate and Surface-to-Droplet Heat Transfer KU Leuven
The aim of this thesis is to understand the effect of added nanoparticles on both the hydrodynamics and heat transfer of droplets impacting on solid substrate. Therefore, in the first part, nanofluid drop impact onto a smooth sapphire substrate is experimentally investigated over wide ranges of Reynolds (100 < $\Re$ < 10000) and Weber (50 < $\We$ < 500) numbers for three \Al~nanofluid mass concentrations of 0.01~wt.\%, 0.1~wt.\%, ...
