Beyond building craftsmen: economic growth and living standards in the sixteenth-century Low Countries: the case of 's-Hertogenbosch (15001560) University of Antwerp
Economic historians are increasingly aware of the divergence between the development of real wages and GDP per capita in pre-industrial Europe, even in affluent urbanized societies with high wage levels such as the sixteenth-century Low Countries. This article offers an empirical answer to this alleged paradox by merging living standards and real wages with income distributions in a case study of sixteenth-century 's-Hertogenbosch. It provides ...
In het spoor van wagenlieden en karrenmannen. De Brabantse lokale transportmarkt in de vijftiende en zestiende eeuw Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Transport history of the duchy of Brabant during the pre-industrial period has traditionally focussed on long-distance international trade. In this transport segment some major advances in organisation were achieved during the sixteenth century, resulting in a professionalisation of carters and waggoners. To a large extent, the local transport market has yet to be discovered and analysed. In this article the authors describe, on the basis of the ...
Review of Methodologies for Pre- and Post-Silicon Analog Verification in Mixed-Signal SOCs KU Leuven
© 2019 EDAA. The integration of increasingly more complex and heterogeneous SOCs results in ever more complicated demands for the verification of the system and its underlying subsystems. Pre-silicon design validation as well as post-silicon test generation of the analog and mixed-signal (AMS) subsystems within SOCs proves extremely challenging as these subsystems do not share the formal description potential of their digital counterparts. ...
Plants and People: Choices and Diversity Through Time KU Leuven
This book is a result of the work of one team involved in the Collaborative Research Program funded by the European Science Foundation (ESF) and entitled “Early Agricultural Remnants and Technical Heritage” (EARTH). Within this framework, senior and younger scientists from Europe and a few guest contributors from beyond met from 2005 to 2009 in different venues around Europe to exchange views, data and experiences on choices made by humans in ...

High-Volume Replacement of Cement by Non-Ferrous Metallurgy Slag and Impact of Limestone, Fineness and Grinding Aids KU Leuven
The global need for greenhouse gas emission reductions can only be met through an immense effort from many industries, among which the cement and concrete industry, considering that the production of cement accounts for approximately 8 % of the total anthropogenic CO2 emissions worldwide. One of the most promising pathways to a reduction of these emissions is by avoidance of clinker production via (partial) replacement of Portland cement (PC) ...
Anti-HIV activity and mode of action of naturally occurring peptides interfering with the viral entry process KU Leuven
At the end of 2012, approximately 34 million people, including children, were infected worldwide with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the etiological agent of AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome). Sub-Saharan Africa is the most severly affected region. Especially women are highly susceptible to HIV infection, based on socio-economical and cultural aspects such as religion, polygamy, poverty, rape and war. The transmission rate of ...
Bringing onco-innovation to Europe's healthcare systems University of Antwerp KU Leuven
Simple Summary The increasing number of data supporting use of a personalized approach in cancer treatment, is changing the path of patient's management. In the same time, the availability of technologies should allow patients to receive the best test for the specific individual condition. This is theoretically true, when a specific test is designed for the specific disease condition, while it is difficult to implement in the setting of agnostic ...
VACCELERATE Site Network University of Antwerp
Background: The inconsistent European vaccine trial landscape rendered the continent of limited interest for vaccine developers. The VACCELERATE consortium created a network of capable clinical trial sites throughout Europe. VACCELERATE identifies and provides access to state-of-the-art vaccine trial sites to accelerate clinical development of vaccines. Methods: Login details for the VACCELERATE Site Network (vaccelerate.eu/site-network/) ...
