Using serology to investigate the epidemiology and impact of Ascaris infections in humans Ghent University

Bruno Levecke
Department of Translational Physiology, Infectiology and Public Health

Infections with gastrointestinal worms, including the roundworm Ascaris lumbricoides, occur throughout the developing world and remain a major public health problem in the poorest communities with lack of personal hygiene, environmental sanitation and safe drinking water. Children are at highest risk of these worm infections, which lead to nutritional deficiencies, anaemia and impaired physical and mental development. To fight these ...

Calibration of TCAD simulators for sub-2nm logic nodes with advanced 2D and 3D metrology techniques including SPM-based scalpel Scanning Spreading Resistance Microscopy KU Leuven

Anne Verhulst
Assiocated Division ESAT-INSYS (INSYS), Integrated Systems

The aggressive downscaling of FET devices in past years has put a great emphasis on the need to come up with properly calibrated process and device simulation tools to predict performances, suggest processing options, and even understand failure mechanisms of scaled FET devices. In the last years, IMEC has demonstrated how to combine data extracted from Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) or Scanning ...

Fast industrial metrology and inspection based on CAD data and phase contrast measurements. University of Antwerp

Jan De Beenhouwer
Vision lab
Conventional X-ray imaging based on attenuation contrast is widely known through e.g. medical chest radiographs. By acquiring thousands of X-ray radiographs, a 3D representation of the microstructure of an object can be reconstructed, which has many applications in industrial inspection and metrology of manufactured materials. X-ray imaging offers two more contrast types: phase contrast (due to refraction at interfaces) and dark-field contrast ...

Towards a LGBTI-wise penology? Assessing the experiences, needs and human rights framework of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex persons in Belgian prisons. KU Leuven

Tom Daems
Leuven Institute of Criminology

LGBTI prisoners constitute a hidden and vulnerable group of prisoners with special needs. However, LGBTI prisoners’ specific experiences, needs and rights receive little attention, neither in research nor in policy. The goal of this project is to assess the experiences and needs of LGBTI prisoners in Belgium and research the application of human rights on LGBTI persons in prisons. This study will be the first to specifically ...

Mereology, deontic logic and collective obligations. KU Leuven

Lorenz Demey
Centre for Logic and Philosophy of Science, Formal and Computational Linguistics (ComForT), Leuven

In my PhD, I am studying the scalar properties of the logical space induced by generalized quantifiers expressing normativity (too few, too much), evaluation (many, few), proportionality (most, at least). This work is carried out within the formal framework of Bitstring semantics which offers a systematic account of the underlying structure induced by formulas of arbitrary fragments. I apply this formal framework ...

Integrated III-V-on-silicon-nitride mode-locked lasers for frequency comb generation in telecom and frequency metrology applications Ghent University

Roel Baets
Department of Information technology

Optical frequency combs have become a cornerstone of frequency metrology and are now available as commercial systems based on pulsed fiber lasers. Since the Nobel prize in physics was awarded to John L. Hall and Theodor W. Hänsch in 2006, the application space for optical frequency combs has dramatically increased. The use of these combs is currently being studied for the use in ultra-fast acquisition molecular spectroscopy, high-speed and ...

Turning superstition into science. Atmospheric tides science and the transformation of astrology in Enlightenment Continental Europe Ghent University

Steven Vanden Broecke
Department of History

The period 1700-1840 witnessed the flowering of a new ‘atmospheric tides’ science. The basic
assumption of this science was that Sun and Moon not only generate significant tidal effects in the
earth’s seas, but in its atmosphere as well. These atmospheric tides (henceforth AT) were held
responsible for important weather changes, as well as for a variety of health issues in the human
body (e.g. insanity, epilepsy, epidemics), ...

Pilot line for advanced freeform glass optics: prototyping, replication and metrology Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Hugo Thienpont
Flanders Make, Applied Physics and Photonics
Freeform optics, i.e. optical components lacking translational or rotational symmetry, are the next revolution in photonics. These advanced optical components can deliver highly-original imaging and light collection functionalities with superior performance over their more traditional (a)spherical counterparts. Enhanced field of view, larger spectral band and higher compactness are but a few examples. These superior characteristics can only be ...

Next generation X-ray metrology for meeting industry standards (MetroFlex). University of Antwerp

Jan Sijbers
Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Vision lab
Advanced manufacturing techniques, often based on computer aided design (CAD) models, are transforming the industrial landscape and offer exciting opportunities for producing tailor-made products with high added-value. At the same time, specifications and quality standards of end products are stringent and therefore sophisticated inspection tools are needed. In an industry 4.0 perspective, inspection occurs preferably inline to enable a rapid ...
