Engineering technology students’ activities and learning in an electronics laboratory KU Leuven
Laboratories are a staple of engineering education, as is testified by the very large fraction of face-to-face time students spend in laboratories. However, laboratories are an expensive form of instruction in terms of staff as well as equipment. Despite this important role and the high costs, research on their effectiveness is sparse. The research project described in this dissertation studies student learning in a laboratory on first order ...
Colour appearance modelling of unrelated self-luminous stimuli KU Leuven
Colour appearance models, i.e. models that attempt to predict the colour appearance of a stimulus by taking the physical properties of the stimulus and its surroundings into account, have been developed and investigated for more than 40 years. Most of these models were developed to handle related colours, i.e. colours perceived in relation to other colours. A typical example is the ‘reflected’ colour of an object as seen in an illuminated ...
Automated neonatal EEG background analysis for prediction of neurological outcome of premature infants. KU Leuven
Around 10 percent of all human births is premature, which means about 15 million babies are born before 37 completed weeks of gestation. About one third of the admissions to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) consists of this patient group. Due to complications, 1 million babies die from premature delivery, and it is therefore the most important cause of neonatal death. In general, premature and immature babies have a high risk for ...

Protection concepts for the optimal utilisation of the smart distribution grid. KU Leuven
It is a clear trend that the share of Distributed Generation (DG) in the grid increases. Many DG units are Converter Based DG (CBDG) units and it is expected that the number of CBDG units will increase in the future. Due to the variable nature of most of these CBDG units, there will be occasions when the share of CBDG units is much higher than their average share in the energy production. During these periods, several of the conventional ...
