FISH SOI MOSFET: Modeling, characterization and its application to improve the performance of analog ICs KU Leuven
This paper is conceptual and introduces a new transistor layout style called FISH SOI MOSFET (FSM). It is an evolution of the Diamond device (DSM) and specially designed to preserve the Longitudinal Corner Effect (LCE) to increase the resultant longitudinal electric field along the channel, that results in an improvement in the average carrier drift velocity in the channel. It presents a gate geometric shape similar to a n"smaller than" (<) ...
Objectivity: its meaning, its limitations, its fateful omissions Ghent University
In this text, we explore the guiding thread of the volume "Objectivity after Kant" by first discussing how the main question pertaining to transcendental objectivity arose at the Centre for Critical Philosophy. This exposition takes the form of a microhistorical genealogy, from which the main ideas pursued in the research conducted at this Centre can be distilled. In the second part, we briefly sketch how the different contributors have ...
Objectivity after Kant: its meaning, its limitations, its fateful omissions Ghent University
This volume sets out to address the question as to whether and how the critical conception of objectivity could still be relevant in contemporary philosophy. This means reflecting on the validity of the ascription of certaindefects to the Kantian system, as well as on their very description as defects. In order to do so, the volume brings together presentations that treat Kantian objectivity from many different angles. Some are more ...
Treatment of Invasive Aspergillosis: How It's Going, Where It's Heading KU Leuven
Despite improvements in treatment and diagnostics over the last two decades, invasive aspergillosis (IA) remains a devastating fungal disease. The number of immunocompromised patients and hence vulnerable hosts increases, which is paralleled by the emergence of a rise in IA cases. Increased frequencies of azole-resistant strains are reported from six continents, presenting a new challenge for the therapeutic management. Treatment options for IA ...
Evidence that the domesticated fungus Leucoagaricus gongylophorus recycles its cytoplasmic contents as nutritional rewards to feed its leafcutter ant farmers KU Leuven
Leafcutter ants farm a fungal cultivar (Leucoagaricus gongylophorus) that converts inedible vegetation into food that sustains colonies with up to millions of workers. Analogous to edible fruits of crops domesticated by humans, L. gongylophorus has evolved specialized nutritional rewards-swollen hyphal cells called gongylidia that package metabolites and are consumed by ant farmers. Yet, little is known about how gongylidia form, and thus how ...
Beyond reasonable doubt at its worst – but also at its potential best : dissecting Ireland v the United Kingdom’s no-torture finding Ghent University
Beyond reasonable doubt (brd) is arguably the Strasbourg Court’s default standard of proof. This favours the respondent state over the applicant, though less starkly so if inferences are allowed. In the foundational Irish Case of 1978, the Court accepted inferences – in theory. In practice, it drew no inference, even omitting to mention crucial facts. brd emerged as a tool of raison-d’état-turned-raison-de-Cour, apparently used to avoid the ...

Ordinality: The importance of its trial list composition and examining its relation with adults' arithmetic and mathematical reasoning KU Leuven
Understanding whether a sequence is presented in an order or not (i.e., ordinality) is a robust predictor of adults' arithmetic performance, but the mechanisms underlying this skill and its relationship with mathematics remain unclear. In this study, we examined (a) the cognitive strategies involved in ordinality inferred from behavioural effects observed in different types of sequences and (b) whether ordinality is also related to mathematical ...
