Considering emissions in the transit network design and frequency setting problem with a heterogeneous fleet KU Leuven
Urban transportation contributes significantly to CO2 emissions. Public transport systems are a good strategy to reduce these, but the emissions generated by public transport vehicles should not be neglected during the design of the service. The Transit Network Design and Frequency Setting Problem (TNDFSP) has usually been addressed considering only the passengers’ and the operator’s point of view. However, we show it is worthwhile to consider ...
Residential green space, air pollution, socioeconomic deprivation and cardiovascular medication sales in Belgium: a nationwide ecological study KU Leuven
Green space may improve cardiovascular (CV) health, for example by promoting physical activity and by reducing air pollution, noise and heat. Socioeconomic and environmental factors may modify the health effects of green space. We examined the association between residential green space and reimbursed CV medication sales in Belgium between 2006 and 2014, adjusting for socioeconomic deprivation and air pollution. We analyzed data for 11,575 ...
Failure characterisation of CF/epoxy V-shape components using digital image correlation and acoustic emission analyses Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Testing of V-Shape demonstrator components formed from carbon fibre epoxy composites was undertaken to
assess the failure mechanisms at the corner section (V-Shape) of a square beam structure under static and
fatigue loading configurations. Digital image correlation and acoustic emission analyses were used to determine
the time to failure, as well as the location of failure, providing additional insights for failure ...

Investigating regionalization techniques for large-scale hydrological modelling KU Leuven
This work investigates regionalization techniques for large-scale model applications in the frame of a pan-European assessment of water resources covering approx. 740,000 km2 in Western Europe. Using the SWAT platform, four variants of the similarity based regionalization approach were compared. The first two involved unsupervised clustering to define hydrological regions before performing hydrological model calibration, whereas the last two ...
Combining oxytocin and cognitive bias modification training in a randomized controlled trial: Effects on trust in maternal support KU Leuven
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Research on the social effects of intranasal oxytocin in children is scarce. Oxytocin has been proposed to have clearer beneficial effects when added to social learning paradigms. The current study tested this proposition in middle childhood by assessing effects of cognitive bias modification (CBM) training and oxytocin on trust in maternal support. METHODS: Children (N = 100, 8-12 years) were randomly assigned to one ...
Assessing the impact of an invasive bryophyte on plant species richness using high resolution imaging spectroscopy KU Leuven
Remote sensing is commonly used to map the presence of invasive alien plant species across large areas. However, remote sensing also has potential to predict fractional cover, which is more closely linked to the potential ecosystem impact of invasive alien plant species.Here, we mapped the fractional cover of the invasive bryophyte Campylopus introflexus using high resolution imaging spectroscopy (233 bands, 490–2430 nm, 3 m × 3 m pixel size) in ...
