Catalytic lignocellulose-derived alkane synthesis KU Leuven
The conversion of lignocellulosic biomass into lignin oil and pulp in presence of solid catalysts will be investigated. Both products will serve as precursors for advanced liquid biofuels using processes based on unique chemocatalytic routes. Holistic views will be developed for the biorefinery integrating both sustainability and process technical aspects. The role of catalysis and the importance of the catalyst properties are key aspects of ...

Inbetweenisms KU Leuven
Inbetweenisms is an artistic research on gender, identity and transition in Albania. From a female, Western and film makers’ perspective I examine how in Albania – a country in transition from communism to democracy – women model and experience their identity, by means of intergenerational relations in a familial context. I probe for their identity and place in a traditionally patriarchal society through filmic research, analysis of ...

The Handmaiden’s Balancing Act? The (Re)Presentation of East European Literatures in Weltliteraturgeschichte and Younger ‘World Literary History’ Ghent University
In 1877 the Austro-Hungarian Hugó Meltzl warned his colleagues: “As every unbiased man of letters knows, modern literary history, as generally practiced today, is nothing but an ancilla historiae politicae [‘handmaiden of political history’]”. At the time, Europe was dominated by the five powers of the ‘Vienna System’ (after the 1815 Congress of Vienna): England, France, Prussia, Austria and Russia, whose respective ‘national’ languages, ...
Mapping the evolutionary role of the ERF115 transcriptional activator in the process of wound-induced regeneration Ghent University
Injury-induced regeneration represents a self-preserving mechanism in most multicellular lifeforms Depending on the species, the extent of regeneration is highly variable Among metazoans regeneration is frequently restricted to tissue repair Contrary, plants display an unrivaled regeneration capacity that not only restores damaged tissues, but can also give rise to whole plant bodies, allowing them to survive severe stress conditions, such ...
IDENTIFICATION OF TISSUE REGENERATION-CONTROLLING ERF-GRAS HETERODIMERIC TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR COMPLEXES AND THEIR SUBSTRATES Ghent University
The ability to self-repair damaged tissue is one of the key features that define living organisms. In
humans and animals, damaged tissue can be replenished through the activity of stem cells. These
basic, undifferentiated cells will divide to produce new cells that replace the damaged tissue cells.
Plants are characterized by a similar system, but their regenerative properties are generally much
