Benckmarking dissimilatory nitrate reduction: focus on nitrate partitioning and nitrous oxide production in Firmicutes. Ghent University
Precious research with the unique capacity for denitrification as well as dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (DRNA). This project will use these bacteria to identify key physiocochemical parameters fot nitrate partitioning to both process, elucidate the nitrous oxide production pathways to both processes and draw up and test valid hypotheses on the ecology of both processes.

Sabbatical Nathal Severijns: Development of education for sustainability, and research on the possible contribution of nuclear energy in the context of sustainable energy production. KU Leuven
Several years ago, I have set up a research team (ten staff members from five different faculties) to investigate the possible contribution to a sustainable society of small and medium size modular nuclear reactors (SMR) of Generation-IV, and especially the ones being able to use the spent fuel from the present generation of reactors or using the thorium cycle. Apart from technical requirements also ecological, economical and societal ...
Photonic reduction, frequency and word order. Towards an usage based analysis of phonetic reduction in (semi-) lexical constructions Ghent University
The research studies phonetic reduction phenomena across the word boundaries that cannot of explained by mechanisms such as ease of articulation and word frequency. The research hypothesis is that the formation of constructions, as formulated in construction grammar and grammaticalization research, can contribute to far reaching reduction of word sequences. The interaction of phonetic reduction, frequency and the development of constructions ...
