Functional magnetic resonance imaging study of central neural system control of voice, with emphasis on phonation in women with muscle tension dysphonia Universiteit Gent
More than biofuel? Jatropha curcas root system symmetry and potential for soil erosion control Universiteit Gent KU Leuven
One of the reasons why Jatropha curcas has recently been hailed as one of the world s most sustainable biofuel crops is its suitability to grow on arid land where it offers the additional benefit of erosion control As arid lands are often very vulnerable to land use changes it is nevertheless important to fully understand (belowground) plant functional and structural development before they are planted at large scale Here we introduce possible ...
The role of fine and coarse roots in shallow slope stability and soil erosion control with a focus on root system architecture: a review Instituut voor Landbouw-, Visserij- en Voedingsonderzoek
The contribution of plant root systems to slope stability and soil erosion control has received a lot of attention in recent years. The plant root system is an intricate and adaptive object, and understanding the details of soil–root interaction is a difficult task. Although the morphology of a root system greatly influences its soil-fixing efficiency, limited architectural work has been done in the context of slope stabilization and erosion ...
Behavioral systems theory in data-driven analysis, signal processing, and control Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The behavioral approach to systems theory, put forward 40 years ago by Jan C. Willems, takes a representation-free perspective of a dynamical system as a set of trajectories. Till recently, it was an unorthodox niche of research but has gained renewed interest for the newly emerged data-driven paradigm, for which it is uniquely suited due to the representation-free perspective paired with recently developed computational methods. A result ...
Suitability assessment of OPC UA as the backbone of ground-based observatory control systems KU Leuven
A common requirement of modern observatory control systems is to allow interaction between various heterogeneous subsystems in a transparent way. However, the integration of off-the-shelf (OTS) industrial products - such as Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) and Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) software - has long been hampered by the lack of an adequate interfacing method. With the advent of the Unified Architecture (UA) ...
Leaving out control groups: an internal contrast analysis of gene expression profiles in atrial fibrillation patients ‐ A systems biology approach to clinical categorization Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a frequent chronic dysrythmia with an incidence that increases with age (>40). Because of its medical and socio-economic impacts it is expected to become an increasing burden on most health care systems. AF is a multi-factorial disease for which the identification of subtypes is warranted. Novel approaches based on the broad concepts of systems biology may overcome the blurred notion of normal and pathological ...
Aggregate constrained inventory systems with independent multi-product demand: control practices and theoretical limitations Universiteit Gent
In practice, inventory managers are often confronted with a need to consider one or more aggregate constraints. These aggregate constraints result from available workspace, workforce, maximum investment or target service level. We consider independent multi-item inventory problems with aggregate constraints and one of the following characteristics: deterministic leadtime demand, newsvendor, basestock policy, rQ policy and sS policy. We analyze ...
Introducing bioflocculation boundaries in process control to enhance effluent quality of high‐rate contact‐stabilization systems Universiteit Antwerpen
High-rate activated sludge (HRAS) systems suffer from high variability of effluent quality, clarifier performance, and carbon capture. This study proposed a novel control approach using bioflocculation boundaries for wasting control strategy to enhance effluent quality and stability while still meeting carbon capture goals. The bioflocculation boundaries were developed based on the oxygen uptake rate (OUR) ratio between contactor and stabilizer ...
