The crucial importance of timing of brain stimulation: Towards brain-oscillation-synchronized transcranial magnetic stimulation for the treatment of epilepsy. Ghent University
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation technique. It is a promising treatment method for patients with refractory epilepsy. However, the overall response rates remain modest and there is high inter-individual variability. Recent findings, mostly derived after motor cortex stimulation, suggest that the exact timing of the delivery of TMS pulses has crucial effects on the individual brain response. This ...
Priming stimulation: a multimodal approach to evaluate the effects of theta-burst transcranial magnetic stimulation priming on prefrontal cortex functioning in healthy and depressed individuals Ghent University
Intermittent theta-burst stimulation (iTBS) has been increasingly used to target prefrontal brain regions, such as the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), to optimize therapeutic outcomes in patients suffering from major depressive disorder. However, despite the promising outcomes, clinical efficacy remains rather modest. Interestingly, fundamental research targeting the motor cortex has suggested the use of priming techniques to enhance ...

First-principles 3D reactor design: Large Eddy Simulation and Direct Numerical Simulation with detailed chemistry Ghent University
The rising computational power makes that new innovations are possible of which 5
years ago one could not even dream. This is in particular important for chemical
reactor and reaction engineering where Process Intensification drives researchers to
think outside the box. In the academic as well as the industrial world, innovations are
more and more based on 3D reactor simulations incorporating chemical reactions. ...
Direct numerical simulation and large eddy simulation of atomization of a liquid spray Ghent University
Development of a numerical technique for direct numerical simulation (DNS) and large eddy simulation (LES) of atomization of a liquid based on homogenous mixture representation under thermodynamic and kinematic equilibrium
In silico simulation of the degradation of wood and wood products byIn silico simulation of the degradation of wood and wood products by Fungi. Ghent University
As wood is prone to biological degradation, it is necessary to gather knowledge concerning its susceptibility to fungal attack to strengthen its position as a building material. By using state-of-the-art techniques such as confocal microscopy and X-ray computed tomography, combined with advanced processing and simulation tools, fundamental insight can be acquired in the wood decay processes.
Decision Maker Preferences in Multi-objective Stochastic Simulation Optimization: applications in operations management. Hasselt University
Development of a Combined Machine Learning and Computational Fluid Dynamics Approach for the Simulation of Batch Reactor KU Leuven
Batch- of continu geroerde tankreactoren worden vaak aangetroffen in de chemische industrie, vooral voor processen waarbij meerdere fasen en vaste stoffen betrokken zijn. Het transportverschijnsel in deze geroerde tanks hangt grotendeels af van hun geometrie, b.v. vlakke of elliptische bodem, toevoeging van schotten en deflectors. Bovendien zal de vloeistof in de geroerde tank turbulent zijn, en het is daarom een uitdaging om de ...
