Going nominal : the Ancient Greek articular infinitive between syntax and context Ghent University

Klaas Bentein
In this contribution, I consider the (prepositional) articular infinitive from the complementary perspectives of ‘syntax’ and ‘context’, on the basis of a corpus of documentary papyri. Syntactically speaking, the construction has been said to become increasingly nominal in the Post-classical period; using syntactic criteria drawn from typological studies, I argue that the articular infinitive retains its verbal character in the papyri, and is ...

Mechanism of alteration in passivity of additively manufactured Ni-Fe-Cr Alloy 718 caused by minor carbon variation Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Arshad Yazdanpanah, Gioele Pagot, Mattia Franceschi, Pietro Rebesan, Mattia Venturin, Julia Botinha, Bodo Gerhmann, Iris De Graeve, Vito Di Noto, Reynier I. Revilla, et al.

Unlike conventional alloys, where carbon content typically promotes carbide compound formation and reduces localized corrosion resistance, the impact of carbon in additively manufactured materials remains largely unexplored due to rapid cooling rates inhibiting carbide formation. This study addresses the novel question of whether reducing carbon content benefits corrosion performance and its underlying mechanisms in Ni-Fe-Cr-based alloy 718. ...

Does greening generate exclusive residential real estate development? Contrasting experiences from North America and Europe Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Isabelle Anguelovski, Emilia Oscilowicz, James J. T. Connolly, Melissa García-Lamarca, Carmen Perez del Pulgar, Helen V. S. Cole, Dan Immergluck, Margarita Triguero-Mas, Francesc Baró, Nicholas Martin, et al.
With the branding of a city as green increasingly serving to amplify attractiveness andinvestment while also contributing to patterns of green gentrification, the incentive to link real estate development and green space is growing. Yet, little is known about the extent to which this incentive has generated a spatial relationship between green space and newly constructed housing at the city-wide level and in ways that can be compared between ...

Effects of road- vs. field-recommended tyre inflation pressures and small variations in soil moisture content on traffic-induced soil compaction during seedbed preparation Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food Ghent University

Adriaan Vanderhasselt, Tommy D'Hose, Marc Sneyders, Wim Cornelis
Soil compaction has become one of the most common forms of soil degradation, with associated negative effects on the functioning of agricultural soils. Decades of research have led to publication of several practical measures that mitigate risk of soil compaction, yet adoption among European farmers remains limited. To improve adoption by farmers, experiments under practical conditions using common operations should be performed. A field ...

Context Matters: Variation in the Shortsightedness of European Climate Policy Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Jana Gheuens
When governments are faced with long-term issues like climate change, it is often argued that they bias the short term over the long term, leading to inadequate policy responses. However, the shortsightedness of European Union (EU) climate governance has varied over time and between policy areas. This suggests that, under certain conditions, EU policy-makers can formulate policies for the long term. This article examines the shortsighted ...

Emotional Distress, Cognitive Complaints, and Care Needs among Advanced Cancer Survivors Treated with Immune Checkpoint Blockade: A Mixed-Method Study Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Nathalie Vanlaer, Iris Dirven, Bart Neyns, Anne Rogiers
Background: There is a need for a better understanding of survivorship-related issues in advanced cancer survivors treated with immune checkpoint blockade (ICB). The purpose of this study was to identify survivorship-related issues, with a focus on psychological distress, cognitive complaints, physical sequelae, impact on family dynamics, and care needs in unresectable, advanced cancer survivors treated with ICB. Methods: Semi-structured ...

Nature-based solutions for coastal protection in sheltered and exposed coastal waters: integrated monitoring program for baseline ecological structure and functioning assessment Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food

Arnaud Boulenger, Pablo Lanza-Arroyo, Kobus Langedock, Alexia Semeraro, Gert Van Hoey
Nature-based solutions, such as shellfish reefs, can support natural coastal defence and be a potential solution for climate-resilient shorelines in the future. In the Belgian Part of the North Sea, the “Coastbusters” projects aim to develop nature-based coastal protection by favouring subtidal mussel bed establishment on the seafloor through typical longline aquaculture techniques. Mussel beds are dependent on environmental conditions, and both ...

Habitat fragmentation affects climate adaptation in a forest herb Meise Botanic Garden KU Leuven Ghent University

Frederik Van Daele, Olivier Honnay, Steven B. Janssens, Hanne De Kort
Climate change and the resulting increased drought frequencies pose considerable threats to forest herb populations, particularly where additional environmental challenges jeopardize responses to selection. Specifically, habitat fragmentation may hamper climate adaptation by altering the distribution of adaptive genetic variation and may also induce evolutionary changes in mating systems.To assess how habitat fragmentation disrupts climate ...

Getting clues from nature: the impact of grass hay on suckling piglets' gastrointestinal growth and colonic microbiota Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food Ghent University

Ann Cools, Hubèrt M.J. van Hees, Koen chiers, Marijke Aluwé, Dominiek Maes, Geert P. J. Janssens

INTRODUCTION: The effect of dietary fiber on pig production has been extensively evaluated. Inspired by observations of the diet of wild, young piglets, this study aimed to examine the possibility of feeding grass hay to suckling piglets besides concentrated creep feed.

METHODS: The sow-nursed piglets in this study were divided into two groups based on balanced sow parities. The control group (CON, n = 7 sows) only received a regular, ...

Transient analysis of a cracked functionally graded magneto‐electro‐elastic rectangular finite plane under anti‐plane mechanical and in‐plane electric and magnetic impacts Ghent University

Mojtaba Ayatollahi, Magd Abdel Wahab, Seyyed Mohammad Moein Hashemi
The transient anti‐plane problem of a functionally graded magneto‐electro‐elastic (FGMEE) rectangular plane weakened by several embedded and edge cracks under various boundary conditions is solved. First, the solutions to the dynamic magneto‐electro‐elastic dislocation in the finite rectangular domain are derived by employing Laplace and finite Fourier cosine transforms. The solutions can be utilized to construct the singular integral equations ...
