Evaluating process model quality: do discovered process models only contain system behavior and nothing more? Hasselt University
Advertisements showing non-ideal models and young women's and men's body image: development of a tripartite process model. KU Leuven
Beauty and fashion companies have been criticized for the persistent usage of extremely thin and muscular models in their advertisements (ads). Current literature has consistently shown that such idealized representations have detrimental effects on individual’s body image and general well-being. Society has therefore called for using more socially responsible advertising. Hence, advertisers have started to include “non-idealized models”, ...
Process Model Forecasting: From Short and Sweet to Long and Lasting KU Leuven
This project envisions the transformation of predictive process mining techniques, which focus on obtaining a prediction for the remaining time, outcome, or next step in a process, by introducing long-term process model-wide forecasts. To this purpose, the investigators will build on their recent efforts on a first incarnation of process model forecasting based on univariate statistical time series analysis and use them towards deep learning ...
The development of a flow sheet model for a full continuous pharmaceutical from-powder-to-tablet manufacturing line to gather process knowledge and the development of control strategies Ghent University
Mechanistic models of pharmaceutical processes are required to predict and control the continuous production of tablets based on real-time measurements and adjustment of significant process variables. The development of these models will adopt a step-wise approach. In this project the focus will be the modelling of a full continuous from-powder-to-tablet manufacturing line
Model based optimization and process control of gas fermentation with the example of methane as a substrate KU Leuven
Biotechnological processes are commonly used to convert cheap and widely available raw materials such as sugars into more valuable components such as polymers, fuels, or protein. In order to maintain high productivity and stable operation of the process, a critical component in modern bioprocesses is the optimization and control of the process. Optimization thereby refers to the a priori choice of operating conditions for maximal ...
Determination of the signalling through and activity of the Candida albicans PKA pathway during the infection process in the zebrafish host model system KU Leuven
Involvement of Fe-S cluster metabolism in fluconazole susceptibility in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Candida species.
The limited arsenal of antifungal therapies that is available and the increasing occurrence of resistance against these drugs hamper efficient eradication of fungal infections. The consequences for the patient as well as the economy are substantial. A promising strategy in the search for new therapies is the ...
A process model of emotional acculturation. KU Leuven
The more contact immigrant minorities have with members from the majority culture, the more they experience emotions that are typical in the majority culture; this is what we call ‘emotional acculturation.’ Although we know that the fit between immigrant minority and majority emotions increases when they interact, we do not know what processes contribute to this increased emotional fit. The current project aims to fill this gap by studying ...
Gender norms present barriers and fences in combining work and family: A process model of threat and self-regulation in non stigmatized identities. KU Leuven
Gender inequalities in the work and family domain persist. So far, most research investigated why women are underrepresented in the work domain and men in the family domain. In the current project, we shift focus to the parallel question: why are women overrepresented in the family domain and men in the work domain? We outline how women’s choices for family and men’s choices for work may not only be a result of their urge to pursue personal ...
A Dual Process Motivational Model of Trust Restoration Ghent University
In the present project, we examine: (1) to what extent a trust violation frustrates economic versus relational motives, (2) to what extent a violatorU+2019s efforts to restore trust impacts upon these motives, and (3) the neurological basis of trust restoration.
