Driving used to enable people to travel quickly. However, traffic congestion has become a major problem and it is still getting worse. The last years, the total congestion time increased enormously, e.g. in Flanders on average with 10% annually. People that get stuck in traffic jams lose valuable time, but congestion also increases the fuel consumption, the carbon footprint and it deteriorates the air quality.
While we will not be ...
This research project focuses on competitive tendering (CT) as an obligation under the general principles of EU and Belgian law. The project seeks to (i) clarify how the obligation to organise CT (the CT obligation) is regulated under the principles of EU and Belgian law (ii) evaluate the legal framework and (iii) make recommendations on how to improve it.
First, the thesis will analyse which principles of law impose CT and, ...
Fever of unknown origin (FUO) and inflammation of unknown origin (IUO) are challenging clinical syndromes characterized by a duration of at least 3 weeks, either fever of 38.3°C (FUO) or elevated inflammatory markers without high-grade fevers (IUO) on several occasions, and no diagnosis despite a baseline workup. The underlying causes are typically categorized as infections, malignancies, noninfectious inflammatory disorders, ...
This proposal pursues an ambitious yet timely effort on extracting fundamental and astrophysics from gravitational-wave detection, spanning from data analysis to phenomenology related to ground and space-based interferometric detectors. In particular, I proposed to focus on 1) Gravitational Lensing of Gravitational Waves, 2) Probing General Relativity and exotic compact objects, 3) Uncovering the nature of dark matter, and 4) Core-collapse ...
