Numerical study and experimental validation of a 2D model hydraulic model for a coupled modeling of river ecosystems using the STRIVE package Ghent University
Aquatic plants have a significant impact on water flow, sedimentation and nutriëntdynamiek in laaglandriviren. In addition to a temporal variation in vegetation development occurs throughout the year also a strong spatial heterogeneity. For the study of cascade and feedback effects in the river ecosystem is a need for a geïntigreerde modeling process in which the various interactions are incorporated. The purpose of this dissertation is to ...
A comprehensive model of job search behavior: An integration of the Motivational Self -Regulatory Model and the Theory of Planned Behavior. Ghent University
The research project aims to theoretically build and empirically test a comprehensive model of job search behavior, integrating the Motivational Self-Regulatory Model and the Theory of Planned Behavior to identify the predictors of job search behavior. In addition, recent insight on the unfolding sequence of job search success are applied to add employment outcomes to the integrative model.

A microstructural model of osteochondral remodelling in an arthritis mouse model (in vivo) KU Leuven
Micromechanical understanding of the natural soft-hard tissue interfaces has become of high interest over the last few years. An example of such an attachment is the osteochondral interface, the connection between cartilage and bone, which can be found in the joints within the body. These sites play a key role in smoothly mitigating the force from cartilage to bone and therefore endure high stress concentrations and are prone to long-term ...
Layout and development of an ecological landscape model as a model instrument for the ecological infrastructure in the Antwerp port. University of Antwerp
Dynamic business model qualities of the cooperative business model KU Leuven
In an unstable environment, identify the need for change, detect the opportunity, find the adequate response and apply it are key for most firms. However, even if investor-oriented firms and hybrid organizations share this need to adapt, they cannot manage it in the same way. Hybrid organizations include multiple institutional logics, they officially pursue a non-profit goal (social, environmental, etc.) while trying to ensure financial ...
RNA Based Gene Therapy In A Model Of RNA Based Gene Therapy In A Model Of Usher syndrome KU Leuven
Usher syndrome (USH) is the most prevalent cause of combined deafness and blindness in humans. USH is categorized in three distinct subtypes based on severity of hearing loss and presence of vestibular dysfunction. The hearing loss due to mutations in different USH genes results from disorganization of the hair bundles of the cochlear hair cells. In all three USH subtypes visual impairment is due to retinitis pigmentosa (RP). Mutations in ...
Development of a turgor-driven fuctional-structural plant model for soybean Ghent University
Functional-structural plant models (FSPMs) are advanced plant models that combine a detailed description of the 3-D growth and development of a plant with the ecophysiological processes that drive its growth. FSPMs are a relatively recent development and allow integration of ecophysiological aspects of plant growth on a finer scale than classical crop or ecophysiological models. While this creates a considerable advantage towards ...
Influence of chronic oligemia on neurovascular defects and their relation to the onset and development of neurodegeneration: in vivo evaluation of neurovascular response capacity and metabolism in an Alzheimer mouse model. KU Leuven
Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia, and the most common neurodegenerative disease. AD patients suffer from age-dependent accumulation of dysfunctional amyloid and tau proteins, leading to the deterioration of neurons. As the disease progresses, cognitive faculties become impaired, eventually resulting in death 4-10 years after diagnosis. The most important risk factor is age, and to the increasing overall age of ...
