A phase-I bilateral project using a sham-controlled, factorial design of transcranial direct current stimulation and theta-burst stimulation to investigate the effects on multimodal assessments of prefrontal cortex functioning Ghent University
Non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) approaches have been increasingly used to target the
prefrontal cortex (PFC) and to induce activity changes in brain neuronal networks. Innovative
protocols within the field of neurostimulation suggest the combination of distinct NIBS techniques
to maximize required changes in brain activity. However - as the effects from these new protocols
derive from studies stimulating the ...
Are internal concentrations of micro pollutants in aquatic organisms predictive of the ecological quality of water courses? University of Antwerp
Scaling-up of evidence-based health interventions at population level for the prevention and management of hypertension and/or diabetes Institute of Tropical Medicine
are struggling how to scale-up interventions sustainably and effectively. There is an urgent need to develop and document strategies on how to do so.

Salt of the north. An interdisciplinary study of Roman salt production, distribution and consumption in the civitas Menapiorum Ghent University
Researchers concur that salt constituted a crucial part of the Gallo-Roman economy and in the civitas Menapiorum especially. Yet, curiously, little is known of the production process, the distribution to consumers and how salt affected the overall economic development of the region. This project aims to analyse these research questions through a multidisciplinary approach.
South and East Slavs: Diversity and Interaction of Writing Cultures Ghent University
The Belgian contribution to the project will be centered around the only Slavic manuscript in Belgium, the 14th century Ghent miscellany of women saints' lives, now commonly known as the Bdinski Sbornik. Earlier work done by staff members of the Slavic department at Ghent already yielded a digital edition of the manuscript (hosted at http://bdinski.obdurodon.org/, work is ...
Evaluating the influence of the physical environment on transport-related physical activity by agent-based simulation models of urban interventions. Ghent University
Engaging in sufficient physical activity is known to decrease the risk of poor health and premature
mortality, due to its impact on several noncommunicable diseases (e.g. heart disease). Urban
interventions in the physical environment (e.g. improved sidewalks) to promote active transport
are powerful tools to increase physical activity levels. However, urban interventions are not under
the control of the evaluating ...
Nutrient Management and Nutrient Recovery Thematic Network Ghent University
Agriculture and food industry having a high dependence on resources in their production and striving for longterm sustainability. In this context there is an urgent need to optimise resource use and smooth the transition to a knowledgedriven agriculture. The NUTRIMAN is a Nitrogen and Phosphorus thematic network compiling knowledge “ready for practice” for such recovered product applications, practices and technologies, interconnecting ...
