“Everything under control?”: Privacy control salience influences both critical processing and perceived persuasiveness of targeted advertising among adolescents Ghent University University of Antwerp
Being in control may make you lose control: role of self-regulation in unethical leadership behavior Ghent University
In the present article, we argue that the constant pressure that leaders face may limit the willpower required to behave according to ethical norms and standards and may potentially lead to unethical behavior. Drawing upon the ego depletion and moral self-regulation literatures, we examined whether self-regulatory depletion that is contingent upon the moral identity of leaders may promote unethical leadership behavior. A laboratory experiment ...
Prospective control abilities during visuo-manual tracking in children with 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome compared to age- and IQ-matched controls KU Leuven
To examine whether children with a 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome (22q11.2DS) are able to use prospective control, 21 children with 22q11.2DS (mean age = 9.6 ± 1.9; mean FSIQ = 73.05 ± 10.2) and 21 control children (mean age = 9.6 ± 1.9; mean FSIQ = 73.38 ± 12.0) were asked to perform a visuo-manual tracking task in which they had to track a cursor rhythmically between 2 target zones. Children with 22q11.2DS performed worse than the age- and ...
Model-Based Control of Mechatronic Systems - Bridging Between Advanced Methods and Industrial Applications (Modelgebaseerde controle van mechatronische systemen - Een brug tussen geavanceerde methodes en industriële toepassingen) KU Leuven
Nowadays, every product manufacturing industry is continuously driven to develop innovative and sustainable products that differentiate through outstanding performance, customer satisfaction and appealing brand values. Intelligent, mechatronic systems are instrumental to accommodate this increasing demand for product quality, flexibility and customization. Since its intelligent nature is essentially the raison dëtre of a mechatronic system, it ...
Time Optimal Control of Mechatronic Systems Through Embedded Optimization (Tijdsoptimale controle van mechatronische systemen door middel van ingebedde optimalisatie) KU Leuven
In all levels of society, a lot of effort is put in the optimal use of resources as e.g.energy, labor and time. Resource optimization is also important in the control ofmechatronic systems. For these applications, typically either the required time orthe energy consumption to perform an action is minimized. This thesis developscontrollers which aim to minimize the time required to perform a point-to-pointmotion, i.e. the settling time of the ...
Modeling and Control of DC Grids (Modellering en controle van DC netten) KU Leuven
The European Union's energy policy strives for a competitive, sustainable and secure energy supply. One of the most obvious results of this policy is the ongoing strong increase of renewable energy sources in the energy supply. The transmission grid updates required to accommodate this envisaged massive amount of renewable energy sources in the transmission system go well beyond standard system reinforcements used in the past: in the coming ...
Optimal control with stochastic PDE constraints and uncertain controls KU Leuven
The optimal control of problems that are constrained by partial differential equations with uncertainties and with uncertain controls is addressed. The Lagrangian that defines the problem is postulated in terms of stochastic functions, with the control function possibly decomposed into an unknown deterministic component and a known zero-mean stochastic component. The extra freedom provided by the stochastic dimension in defining cost functionals ...
Efficient multiple objective optimal control of dynamic systems with integer controls KU Leuven
In practical optimal control problems both integer control variables and multiple objectives can be present. The current paper proposes a generic and efficient solution strategy for these multiple objective mixed-integer optimal control problems (MO-MIOCPs) based on deterministic approaches. Hereto, alternative scalar multiple objective optimisation techniques as normal boundary intersection and normalised normal constraint are used to convert ...
