Multi-layer Bayesian life-cycle methodology for the structural assessment of existing concrete structures Ghent University
Repair and upgrading of structures are becoming increasingly important and are associated to an increasing part of activities in the construction sector. Current state of the art lacks a coupled Bayesian framework that enables to update through-life performance predictions, optimize inspections and interventions and fully exploit knowledge available through information gathered or modelled, limiting the exploitation of the benefits of ...
An Integrated Database for Early Music. KU Leuven
Digital imaging technology and server space are requested for the development of an online database of medieval and Renaissance music sources. The database will be an essential tool for, among others, musicologists, performers, art historians, and literary scholars.
Development of the concept, technologies and services of Atlas Information System Next Generation for monitoring the parameters of the environmental situations in the regions and cities of Europe and Russia Ghent University
The main objective of the project is to develop an Information and Analytical System (IAS), which will integrate the spatial data infrastructure (gathering different kinds of spatial data available on the open data and social media platforms, news media, etc.). The retrieval of these publicly available data will be automatized. The available data will then further be analyzed taking into account the regional diversity of the data sources in ...
Micro-mechanical characterization of fatigue fracture in brittle construction materials KU Leuven
During their lifetime, structures are commonly subjected to cyclic loading such as traffic loads, wind and wave loading, or thermal loading. For brittle construction materials like masonry, concrete, or mortars, cyclic loading can give rise to a fatigue-induced fracture process. The fatigue behavior of brittle construction materials will become increasingly important as structural engineers design structures for optimal durability and ...
Questioning water modernity. A GIS-approach to the privatization and resilience of common drinking water systems in 16th- and 19thcentury cities, test-case: Antwerp. University of Antwerp
Questioning water modernity: a GIS-approach to the privatization and resilience of common drinking water systems in 18th- and 19th-century cities, test-case: Antwerp (1750-1900). University of Antwerp
Cross-layer optimization with real-time adaptive dynamic spectrum management for fourth generation broadband access networks KU Leuven
To enable next generation reliable and fast broadband internet access, it will be crucial to develop innovative broadband access network technologies. The fourth generation broadband access (4GBB) network currently envisaged consists of a hybrid fiber –digital subscriber line (DSL) deployment, in which fiber is brought to the curb and existing telephony DSL twisted-copper pairs are used to bridge the last 20-200 meters. Techno-economic ...
Sources from the Medieval Law countries (SMLC). A multiple Database System for The Launch of Diplomata Belgica and for a Completely Updated Version of Narrative Source Ghent University
Sources from the Medieval Low Countries (SMLC) will enable medievalists to gain integrated access to two different online data collections: Diplomata Belgica, containing descriptions (and often full text and photographs) of all charters composed in the Southern Low Countries before 1250, and Narrative Sources, which offers a survey of all narrative sources written in the Low Countries before c. 1500.
HISSTAT development of a central database of statistics from the 19th and 20th century available at a local level Ghent University
the proposal aims at the development of a central database for historical statistics in Flanders and Belgium which are available down to the level of the municipalities since 1795. The intention of the database is to protect and exploit the rich patrimonium of historic statistics of Flanders and Belgium, and to offer access to the public and a number of various applications. The central database is equipped with an informationsystem that ...
