Multimodal Signal Analysis for Unobtrusive Characterization of Obstructive Sleep Apnea KU Leuven
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most prevalent sleep related breathing disorder, nevertheless subjects suffering from it often remain undiagnosed due to the cumbersome diagnosis procedure. Moreover, the prevalence of OSA is increasing and a better phenotyping of patients is needed in order to prioritize treatment. The goal of this thesis was to tackle those challenges in OSA diagnosis, by means of advanced signal processing algorithms, ...
Behaviour and Design of Built-up Structural Elements Composed of Thin-walled Cold-formed Steel Profiles KU Leuven
This doctoral thesis addresses an increasing demand from the cold-formed steel production industry for more stable load-bearing elements. As buildings constructed entirely from cold-formed steel profiles and sheeting increase their spans, heights and bays, light steel frames not only become more impressive, but the applications of light-steel framing widen.
The limited stability of standard cold-formed steel elements is resolved in the ...
