Research on a low cost, accurate indoor positioning solution KU Leuven
Positioning is not a new problem. Humanity has attempted to determine its location for centuries with tools such as sextants, clocks, maps, and more. One of the largest revolutions in this field is arguably the advent of the global positioning system (GPS), which can provide position information almost anywhere on earth. Unfortunately, GPS and similar satellite navigation systems cannot be used indoors. The signal strength is reduced ...

Vitamin D analogs in combination with palbociclib as treatment for triple-negative breast cancer – preclinical evaluation and pathway analysis KU Leuven
1,25(OH)2D3, the biological active form of vitamin D3, is an important regulator of calcium and phosphate homeostasis in the body. By binding to the vitamin D receptor (VDR) and subsequent heterodimerization with the retinoid X receptor (RXR), this complex will migrate to the nucleus and bind to vitamin D responsive elements (VDREs) in regulatory regions of target genes to regulate gene transcription. Next to calcium and phosphate ...
Legal Risk Management in Tort Law: A Positive Legal Theory Based on a Comparative Analysis Ghent University
The doctoral research has two main goals. First, it aims at an encompassing analysis of the theoretical models and concepts used internationally to assess different techniques used for legal risk management in tort law. Based on this analysis, it will provide a positive legal theory for the better understanding of the situation under Belgian law.
HEAD - Higher Education for All analyseD: An intersectional analysis of in- and excluding mechanisms in higher education Ghent University
The main aim of this research project is an intersectional analysis of
in/excluding mechanisms in higher education for ethnic minority
students and those from socio-economically vulnerable groups. While
studies have identified these groups’ vulnerable position in both
college attendance & drop-out, few studies have delved deeper into
the underlying processes at the root of these issues. ...
