Projectile identification in the impact structures of Rochechouart, France and Sääksjärvi, Finland: Implications for the terrestrial impactor population Vrije Universiteit Brussel
An exploratory case-control study on the impact of IL-1 gene polymorphisms on early implant failure Vrije Universiteit Brussel Ghent University
Background: The association between IL-1 gene polymorphisms and peri-implantitis has been well documented. However, data on the association with early implant failure are scarce. Purpose: The objective of this case-control study was to explore the impact of IL-1A (-889), IL-1B (-511) and IL-1B (+3954) gene polymorphisms on early implant failure in Caucasians.

Towards a meta-analysis and toolkit for port related socio-economic impacts: a review of socio-economic impact studies conducted for seaports Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Port authorities increasingly need to communicate with external stakeholders in order to maintain and strengthen societal acceptance of seaport activities. The availability of socio-economic impact studies on the internet (e.g. via port and government agency websites) has often made this information accessible to the public at large. However, the differences in methodologies adopted to define and measure various types of socio-economic impacts ...
Patient Satisfaction and Impact on Oral Health after Maxillary Rehabilitation Using a Personalized Additively Manufactured Subperiosteal Jaw Implant (AMSJI) Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Subperiosteal implants (SIs) were first developed by Dahl in 1941 for oral rehabilitation in case of severe jaw atrophy. Over time, this technique was abandoned due to the high success rate of endosseous implants. The emergence of patient-specific implants and modern dentistry allowed a revisitation of this 80-year-old concept resulting in a novel "high-tech" SI implant. This study evaluates the clinical outcomes in forty patients after ...
Impact of fixed implant prosthetics using the 'all-on-four' treatment concept on speech intelligibility, articulation and oromyofunctional behaviour Ghent University
SEAwise Report on the spatiotemporal benthic effects of fishing on benthic habitats relative to suggested threshold levels, both with respect to area impacted and impact intensity Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
The SEAwise project works to deliver a fully operational tool that will allow fishers, managers, and policy makers to easily apply Ecosystem Based Fisheries Management (EBFM) in their own fisheries. This report gives an overview of the progress made to develop spatio–(temporal) assessments of fishing impact on benthic habitats in EU-waters and evaluating changes in benthic ecosystem functioning due to fishing. The assessments builds on the ICES ...
Impact of morphological parameters on urban ventilation in compact cities: The case of the Tuscolano-Don Bosco district in Rome KU Leuven
Air pollution and heat stress are major concerns associated with the liveability, resilience and sustainability of cities. They directly affect health and comfort and are associated with augmented morbidity and mortality and an increase in the energy demand for building ventilation, air cleaning and cooling. Nevertheless, the detrimental effects of poor air quality may partly be mitigated by increased urban ventilation. This strategy is closely ...
Convolution Based Compact Thermal Model Application to the Evaluation of the Thermal Impact of Die to Die Interface Including Interconnections KU Leuven
Thermal aware design of integrated circuits is essential to avoid reliability issues and failures especially in 3D-technology where active dies are placed on top of each other and more heat is dissipated on the same area available for cooling compared to conventional 2D-packages. A certain number of parameters can be selected to reduce temperature and temperature gradient. This paper is mainly focusing on the thermal impact of the die-to-die ...
Impact of increasing total knee replacement constraint within a single implant line on coronal stability: an ex vivo investigation KU Leuven
INTRODUCTION: Despite the existence of diverse total knee implant designs, few data is available on the relationship between the level of implant constraint and the postoperative joint stability in the frontal plane and strain in the collateral ligaments. The current study aimed to document this relation in an ex vivo setting. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Six fresh-frozen lower limbs underwent imaging for preparation of specimen-specific surgical ...
