SolProp-mix: Predicting the solubility curve in solvent mixtures KU Leuven
As chemical engineers our goal is to find ways to make processes safer, greener, and cheaper. One ongoing challenge we face is figuring out how well different chemicals dissolve in various solvents. Experimental data on the solubility for pharmaceuticals in organic solvents is scarce and current models lack predictive capabilities. Fast predictions would help us to choose the best solvent for a given application and make process development ...
Digitally-boosted approaches to break the analog noise limit KU Leuven
Although today's electronic systems implement most of their functionality in the digital domain, several analog operations, above all the analog-to-digital conversion (ADC), remain necessary when interfacing with physical-world applications. An example is data communication where ever higher bandwidths are required. A basic problem though is that traditional analog solutions based on opamps and comparators are limited in performance by their ...
Boosting co-creation and networking among the lighting design value chain to empower the European creative sector KU Leuven
Can You Imagine a World without Light? It’s easy to take light for granted. After all, it surrounds us. But why is light such an important factor in our lives? First of all, light makes our modern life possible. Before artificial light, our productivity was limited by the number of
daylight hours. Lighting is crucial for all personal, professional, cultural and social aspects of our lives. To put it simply: lighting matters.The revival ...

Snow mass retrieval by training machine learning algorithms with earth observation data KU Leuven
The accurate monitoring of snow water equivalent (SWE) is indispensable to assess global water resources. By storing a portion of winter precipitation, snow provides drinking water to more than a billion people worldwide. In addition, snow enables hydropower generation and provides water for industry and agriculture. At the same time, snow can also pose a threat and cause hazards, floods and avalanches. Besides, snow impacts our climate by ...
Support Systems : The Hidden Labour Behind Art Making (Belgium, 1880-1920) Ghent University
This project reveals, for the first time, relationships which enabled and sustained artists’ work and careers in late-nineteenth-century and early-twentieth-century Belgium. Structured around three categories of people, it takes a systematic approach at investigating the diverse, crucial but usually hidden and unacknowledged role played by family members, domestic servants and collaborators, whether through domestic work, creative ...
Novel tree-ensemble based methods for weakly-supervised structured output prediction with applications in biomedicine KU Leuven
Recent studies in structured output prediction, an umbrella term for machine learning tasks where multiple outputs must be predicted, have identified the veracity of the data as a major challenge. More specifically, structured output prediction datasets present noise in the output space due to faulty equipment, high cost of annotation or high volume of data, meaning that they are weakly-supervised. State-of-the-art methods, however, often ...
MinMan: growing pears with fewer man hours, a system approach KU Leuven
The main objective of this project is to reduce the number of man hours in pear cultivation by reducing seasonal workers that are increasingly difficult to find and thus maximizing labor efficiency.
This through a systematic approach to pruning, thinning and picking with existing, available techniques.
The tree shape/architecture and the plant system play a major role here and the fruit size and quality must not be negatively ...
