Waiting Spaces as Spaces of Negotiation in the SWOT-Mobile Design Studio KU Leuven
ABSTRACTThis article discusses the topic of temporary use of Waiting Spaces in the framework of the Solidary Mobile Housing Design Studio, organised as part of the Innoviris Co-create project ‘SWOT-Mobile’. We claim that this project is an illustration of how safeguarding the solidary character of temporary use of Waiting Spaces with citizens in need can help establishing landscape democracy. First we elaborate on the methods we developed and ...

Polarization domain information on insect wing chitin using the Scanning PyroElectric Microscope (SPEM) KU Leuven
Scanning Pyroelectric Microscopy (SPEM) at micrometer resolutions has been employed to study permanent polarity and its spatial organization in various insect wings containing chitin, one of the most abundant biopolymers. Both measurements on wings of houseflies and wasps revealed a well defined pyroelectric response, showing a multidomain polarization pattern at several length scales, from millimeter sized domains in the wing veins, to 20 ...
Pig manure treatment with housefly (Musca domestica) rearing – an environmental life cycle assessment KU Leuven
The largest portion of a product’s environmental impacts and costs of manufacturing and use results from decisions taken in the conceptual design phase long before its market entry. To foster sustainable production patterns, applying life cycle assessment in the early product development stage is gaining importance. Following recent scientific studies on using dipteran fly species for waste management, this paper presents an assessment of two ...
Implementing Insect Production in Agricultural Value Chains - An ex-ante life cycle evaluation KU Leuven
An ever-growing demand for animal based food products is affecting the productivity of global food production systems, and urgently needed measures to curb further environmental degradation promise similar effects. Whether future demand scenarios can be met sustainably, depends not least on whether it is possible to significantly reduce the environmental impact of aquaculture and livestock production. Recent research suggests that the use of ...
