Automatic quantification of intrinsic exercise intensity and exercise benefits in athletes. KU Leuven
The goal of every athlete is to perform as well as possible, in the most efficient way. The performance of every athlete during game-situations, is influenced both by his/her physical and mental condition.
Training programs have already been used long time in order to improve the physical condition. Such programs consists of different exercises. These can be described by its type, the duration, intensity and frequency. Many methods are ...

The Creation of Yang Zhu as A Philisopher in The Republican Era KU Leuven
The fame of Yangism was, in ancient times, as great as Confucianism and Mohism. As a matter of fact, Mohism and Confucianism were considered as equals during the Warring States period and the Han Dynasty, while Yangism being the third greatest school among the Hundred Schools of Thought. It is not until later times that Yangism and Mohism were deemed less than Confucianism. And after the Book Burning and Burial of the Scholars in the Qin ...
A Study of Oxide Defects in III-V MOS Devices using Electrical and Mathematical Methods KU Leuven
III-V compound semiconductors are considered as potential channel materials for replacing Silicon in commercial logic devices. One of the major roadblock is the difficulty in developing the gate stack of sufficiently high quality to enable a III-V metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) device with high and reliable On performance. The defects in high-k dielectrics are, therefore, one of the key areas of focus for research on III-V based MOS devices. ...
Filled pauses from a multimodal perspective. On the interplay of speech and eye gaze. KU Leuven
This project offers a novel, integrative approach on filled pauses, the elements ‘euh‘ and ‘euhm’ in Dutch. Insights on filled pauses from various research traditions are united to obtain a comprehensive overview of their form and function. Starting from a cognitive-interactional framework, our analysis relates formal variation in filled pauses to the functional variation. We show that formal differences in filled pauses, such as the ...
Vertical Transistors: a slippery path towards the ultimate CMOS scaling KU Leuven
The semiconductor industry has largely relied on Moore’s law, based on the observation that every new generation of transistors has been better than the previous one in Power, Performance, Area and Cost (PPAC) metrics simultaneously. However, this trend is under a pressure now. The main issue is related to the enormous complexity of both technology and design, which drastically raises not only the manufacturing, but also the R&D costs. ...
Effectiveness of feedback and need-supportive coaching on physical activity among working adults: Validation of a multisensory activity device and evaluation of an intervention KU Leuven
The current physical activity (PA) recommendations advise adults toperform moderate-intensity aerobic PA for a minimum of 30 minutes five days a week or vigorous-intensity aerobic activity for a minimum of 20 minutes three days a week. Despite many evidence supporting PA for the prevention and management of several health problems such as metabolic disorders, cardiovascular disease and certain forms of cancer, 41% of the Belgian population ...
Transport infrastructure and regional development in China during the Maoist era KU Leuven
1. Introduction
This project aims to investigate the link between transport infrastructure and regional economic development in China during the Mao era. Economists argue that public investments have a positive impact on economic growth for a number of reasons. As we will elaborate in what follows, the Chinese story contains many unique and intriguing elements which complicate this statement. A thorough investigation of the topic will ...
