Repair and upgrade of the high resolution biological SEM KU Leuven
Table top SEM with integrated in-situ micromechanical testing for fiber, polymer and composite materials Ghent University
The requested table top SEM with integrated micromechanical testing, combines a large sample chamber to accommodate a sensitive micromechanical set-up with a high magnification and easy sampling. This is highly novel and only recently available at moderate costs. The in-situ visualization of material performance under load at high magnification will boost the academic research of the applicants and their collaborators.

From SEM to SAM: extending and evaluating the structural-after-measurement (SAM) approach to structural equation modeling. Ghent University
Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) is a widely used technique in the behavioral and social sciences to study the relationships between latent constructs (such as depression, personality traits, attitudes, ...). In the world of SEM, of model typically consists of two parts: a measurement part (relating the latent variables to observed indicators), and a structural part (relating the latent variables to each other). In practice, the primary ...
Novel mixture SEM methods for comparing structural relations among many groups KU Leuven
Many important questions researchers aim to answer concern relations between unobservable or latent variables such as beliefs, traits, attitudes. For instance, which factors predict parental stress or compliance with social distancing during a pandemic? Structural equation modeling (SEM) is the state-of-the-art for properly modeling relations between latent variables, also called structural relations. For comparing structural relations across ...
Can I see some ID, please? Police discretion in cannabis-related ID checks and stop and searches, and their effect on police legitimacy. An ethnographic study in 2 Belgian police forces. Ghent University
The way police act in their daily police practice against the possession and use of cannabis, the most
commonly used illicit drug, is a controversial story, both in the academic - and in the political world.
The role and function of the police in the fight against cannabis remains very unclear, both with the
police and with the users. Although there is a lot of research into cannabis use and the harms done
by cannabis ...

CME Evolution in the Solar Corona KU Leuven
This thesis project aims to investigate how CMEs evolve in the lower corona (rotation, deflection, and expansion) and quantify how this evolution depends on the magnetic structure of the CME (e.g., twist, helicity), the instability responsible for the CME eruption and the properties of the source active regions. The project will combine state-of-the-art time-dependent magnetofrictional modelling and an extensive set of remote-sensing coronal ...
