Polyamine and iron interplay at the interface between mitochondria and lysosomes with its putative implications for Parkinson’s disease. KU Leuven
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease whose main symptoms are the consequence of the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra. Its pathological hallmarks include protein aggregation and lysosomal and mitochondrial dysfunction. In addition, excess iron accumulation in dopaminergic neurons and defects in the metabolism of polyamines have been implicated in the pathology of PD. Multiple studies suggest ...

Hydrogen effect on the mechanical performance of additive manufactured Ti-6Al-4V Ghent University
Additive manufacturing is one of the most promising advanced production methods for many challenging applications. Additive manufacturing can be used to produce components which are often exposed to a hydrogen environment. In addition, H is often cited as future energy carrier as it might offer an alternative for the scarce fossil fuels without the production of harmful CO2 emissions. The main requirement to realize a safe use of hydrogen ...
Process control and basic mechanisms in Multi-Material Laser Additive Manufacturing of Cu/Ni-alloy/Steel System KU Leuven
Currently, direct net shaping of metal parts is one of the hot topics in Laser Additive Manufacturing (LAM) with two main development directions: Laser Melting Deposition (LMD) and Selective Laser Melting (SLM). LMD is based on the laser powder feeding method, showing the superior capability in printing large-sized 3D parts, while its working accuracy of parts is relatively lower than the parts from SLM; SLM is based on the laser powder bed ...

FlowCurve JbyF: Standardisation of Flow Curve determination in joining by forming Belgian Welding Institute npo
FE simulation is used more and more by SMEs for numerical process development and ,through the increasing digitization, also for datamining. The quality for FE simulation of a technological process depends on, among others, the adopted material model and the governing parameters. Technological processes – in this case the mechanical joining processes clinching and self-pierce riveting – put specific demands on model performance. For an exact ...

Evolutionary ecological study of the pace-of-life syndrome in Ischnura damselflies. KU Leuven
To understand and predict patterns in trait variation along environmental gradients and in response to stressors, the integration of traits into suites of correlated traits or ‘syndromes’ has received increasing attention. Because of the presence of such syndromes, the plastic and evolutionary responses of organisms to selection pressures involve coordinated changes in many traits. A promising concept for the integration of traits is the ...
