Robust Control of Time-Delay Systems: Analysis, Computational Methods and Software KU Leuven
A first step in analyzing the behavior of a dynamical system consists of deriving a mathematical model that adequately describes its behavior. Time-delay systems have proven valuable as compact models capable of representing complex phenomena in a wide variety of applications ranging from life sciences over physics and engineering to economics. Nevertheless, the obtained models are typically only an approximation for reality, due to unmodeled ...
Synthesis and application of probes for serine and cysteine hydrolases and the polyamine transport system KU Leuven
Activity-based probes (ABPs) are small molecular tools that allow the detection and monitoring of enzyme activity by covalently binding onto the active site of the enzyme. They consist of a warhead that binds the enzyme, a recognition element that alters the selectivity of the probe and a detection tag that allows the visualization, quantification or purification of probe-labeled enzymes. ABPs are applied to elucidate enzyme function, enzyme ...

How not to listen to music': factual knowledge narration in 19th-century music guides Ghent University
By the end of the 19th-century, music had grown increasingly complex. Audiences lacked a viable explanation of the new structures and musical language that composers had overwhelmed them with. Music guides filled that gap: they offered new ways of talking about music (e.g. the leitmotiv)
and radically altered the discursive strategies we use to process and relate music. Long seen as a stronghold of amateurism in comparison to the ...

Position of women in the professional field of art Ghent University
Initially, a description will be given of the careers, socio-economic situation and income of architects and designers in Flanders. Based on the first descriptive analyzes, we will outline a general profile of the architects and designers in Flanders.
We also make the comparison with the previous query. In this way, the research will give a comparative view of the disciplines, and will enable us to support a sector-specific policy ...
Research into cultural education and participation of small children (0-6 years) Ghent University
In this study we will go deeper into cultural education and cultural participation of the little ones (0 to 6 years). The choice for a study that specifically targets this age group is the result of the growing interest in the cultural participation and learning of this group. At the same time, the choice was motivated by the fact that although the practical and policy attention for cultural education and participation among the ...
How do disabled architects design? Exploring the potential of embodiment in architectural design KU Leuven
Designers of products, software, buildings and environments increasingly involve users in the design process. This tendency demonstrates the need for new ways of designing, which attempt to restore the feedback loop between processes of design and practices of use that got interrupted since the industrial revolution. This restoring remains limited, however: even if users are involved in design, designers cannot gain direct access to their ...
We are all Ayotzinapa: The role of Digital Media in the Shaping of Transnational Memories on Disappearance KU Leuven
The project seeks to study the role of digital media in the shaping of transnational memories on disappearance. It investigates a novel case that is in process of shaping: the disappearance of 43 students in Mexico in September 2014. The role of the new media in getting citizens’ attention and in marking a “turning point” was crucial to the upsurge of a counter-movement against the Mexican government and qualifies the event as significant for ...
