Developmental and later life effects of light and noise pollution: physiological stress, telomere dynamics and fitness. University of Antwerp
Application to purchase an ultra-microtome and hardness tester as instruments, respectively, to prepare specimens for atomic force, light and scanning/transmission electron microscopy, and to measure surface hardness with broad application poten KU Leuven
The Path Towards Addressing Adverse Impacts of Light and Noise Pollution on Terrestrial Biodiversity and Ecosystems Ghent University
The rate of global biodiversity decline is unprecedented and accelerating. Urban sprawl, population growth and industrialization
bring previously unrecognised drivers of biodiversity loss, including light and noise pollution. The EU has adopted policies, including
the EU Green Deal and the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030, to enable transformative change through better protection of
biodiversity and nature restoration ...
Regulatory proteins acting at the crossroads of light and jasmonate signaling: characterization of their molecular function and their impact on crop quality Ghent University
Regulatorische proteïnen die opereren op het kruispunt van licht- en jasmonaatsignalisatie: karakterisering van hun moleculaire functie en impact op gewaskwaliteitPlant fitness is highly dependent on the ability to cope with multiple (a)biotic environmental cues, such as light and interacting organisms. Complex signaling networks driven by perception of these cues and involving endogenously produced phytohormones, program the appropriate ...
Perception of light and color in real and virtual environments KU Leuven
Understanding and predicting the perception and appearance of light and color in realistic scenes is one of the ultimate goals of color science. Today's fundamental research on color appearance and color perception is typically based on simplified stimuli and viewing conditions: a flat, uniform stimuli on a neutral flat uniform background illuminated by a single (quasi)neutral light source. However, more complex, naturalistic stimuli that are ...

Today’s fundamental research on color appearance and color perception is typically based on simplified stimuli and viewing conditions: a flat, uniform stimuli on a neutral flat uniform background illuminated by a single (quasi)neutral light source.

Study of nucleation and crystal growth of pharmaceuticals by X-ray and harmonic light scattering KU Leuven
In this project we will study the crystallization process of pharmaceutical compounds using state-of-the-art nonlinear optical scattering techniques, combined with more traditional linear scattering and x-ray scattering techniques. The proposed techniques provide complementary information about different stages of the process, from aggregation and nucleation to subsequent growth. This opens a window into the fundamental mechanisms of ...
Towards Efficient and Stable Perovskite Solar Cells under Thermal and Light Stresses KU Leuven
Despite the drastic efficiency increase of perovskite photovoltaics over the past decade, for future commercialization, research on the stability of perovskite photovoltaics requires special attention to bring it to the level of established technologies.
Solar cells in their operations are intrinsically subjected to thermal and light stresses. This doctoral dissertation aims to understand and improve perovskite solar cells’ (PSCs’) ...
