Sound and Decolonized Knowledge: the Radio Composer as Ethnographer KU Leuven
In the international field of radio art, artists increasingly use research-based documentary strategies to address social, political and cultural realities of subaltern groups in their works. They perform sound-based ethnographic and historiographic research in various sites, combining the resulting recordings, interviews and archival materials with electroacoustic composition into hybrid pieces, that often closely engage with academic ...
Practicing Odin Teatret's archive: training transmission, interaction and creativity Ghent University
The progress made in the fields of technology, information theory, computational modeling, and immersive multisensory displays put the notion of the body as archive in a new perspective, especially as far as theatre technique is concerned. In line with these recent developments, this research proposes to investigate what it means to develop, practice and perform an archive. We propose to create a sustainable model for the development, ...
Community, Control and Commons. Access to Land, Use Rights and Social Power Relations in the Belgian Ardennes between 1750 and 1900 Ghent University
This research project aims to reassess historiographical debates on shifting power relations in rural
communities during the transition period 1750-1900, when village communities were gradually
incorporated into modern society in Western Europe. The ambition of this project is to approach
these shifts by analysing social property relations, which appear at the heart of power struggles
between and among local actors, ...
Human and Artificial Understanding in Mathematics - A comparative study of informal, but functionally valuable moves performed by mathematical agents. Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Underlying factors in the responsiveness to Mental Fatigue: What can interindividual differences tell us? Vrije Universiteit Brussel
prolonged demanding cognitive activity and results in acute feelings
of tiredness and decreased human performance throughout the
general population. Research has shown that there is great variability
in the individual response to MF, and links this to the presence of
internal factors (e.g. age). However, not only has no project

Fundamental study of advanced reliability criteria for electric power systems to substitute the state of the art N-1 criterion KU Leuven
An adequate level of reliability in power systems is crucial due to the criticality of reliable, but affordable electricity supply for society. Nowadays, power system reliability is managed based on the deterministic N-1 criterion. This N-1 approach does not aim at cost-optimality and is challenged by the evolutions in power systems. Probabilistic reliability management on the contrary takes into account risks related to power system ...
Electrical control of racetrack memory devices based on SAF materials KU Leuven
BACKGROUND As the demand for faster, smaller, and more power-efficient devices is increasing, conventional memories such as SRAM and DRAM are reaching their scaling limits. Recently, STT-MRAM (spin transfer torque magnetic randomaccess memory) has been successfully introduced as a compelling candidate for on-chip memory applications. This first success calls for further explorations of other spintronics concepts. Alternative switching ...
