Keeping up the pace: acquiring a ZebTEC installation for cost-efficient standardised rearing of small fish model organisms. KU Leuven
Development of a cone beam CT-based surgical planning technique with standardised and accurate jaw bone quantification at a low radiation dose. KU Leuven
Ductile and brittle fracture assessment of pipeline steels using advanced dynamic tensile tear testing methodology. KU Leuven
Fracture propagation control of high-pressure pipelines is an essential strategy to avoid a catastrophic event that includes both economic losses and environmental damage. To ensure structural integrity over several decades, the pipe material is subjected to an extensive fracture analysis. Lab-scale fracture testing is an essential tool to determine a materials’ resistance against crack propagation. Standardised tests such as the Charpy ...

A blueprint for national ecological risk assessment based on indigenous aquatic organisms Ghent University
Water quality monitoring using traditional physico-chemical analysis has serious disadvantages due to high cost, tedious processing time, limited technology, and lack of trained human resources. In the absence of information on the presence of unknown extraneous pollutants or their interactions with pollutants, it is not possible to determine the direct risk to humans and other living organisms when assessing quality. Therefore, ecotoxicity ...
From biogas to pet food: microbial biomass as sustainable protein source Ghent University
This project targets an industrial proof-of-concept for the sustainable production of microbial protein from biogas. We will use a novel, standardised microbial consortium, containing a methane oxidizing bacterium and two heterotrophic microorganisms, for which a technical POC already exists. The resulting product is rich in proteins with high nutritional value, and contains carotenoids, with antioxidant and pigment properties. This microbial ...
