Bridging the gap between in situ and remote sensing observations for forest canopy structure determination. KU Leuven
Structure determination of prokaryotic and eukaryotic ion channels. KU Leuven
COPAM: High performance compact heat exchangers in pure copper by combining gyroid lattice structure design with laser based additive manufacturing and novel post-processing routes. KU Leuven
Quantifying feedbacks between forest structure, light, microclimate and carbon cycling using distributed photonic sensors Ghent University
Forest are arguably the most complex ecosystem in terms of structure. Using innovative laser scanning methods and distributed fiberoptic and microclimate sensors, we will quantify light, microclimate, carbon cycling, and structure of temperate forests to build the first integrative framework to understand the impact of structural feedbacks. This will result in a step-change of our understanding of forest ecosystem functioning.
Unravelling and improving the structure of emulsified meat analogues KU Leuven
Study on the INfluence of the sTructurE of the oRganic cation on key Properties of (quasi-)2D hybRid perovskites towards the rational design of Efficient and sTable optoElectRonics (INTERPRETER) Hasselt University
Structure and folding of XNA aptamers studied by computational and experimental methods KU Leuven
Aptamers are folded oligonucleotides that bind to a specific target with a high affinity and selectivity. Originally they were composed of natural nucleic acids (RNA or DNA) that are identified in a large library through a process termed Systematic Evolution of Ligands by EXponential enrichment (SELEX). Since natural nucleic acids have short half-life in biological conditions, research shifted to aptamers composed of artificial (xeno) nucleic ...
The impact of urbanization on microbial community structure, pollinator behavior and mating system in the late-flowering plant Linaria vulgaris KU Leuven
Entering the XXIst century, humanity will face enormous challenges to its continued prosperity. This is because the ecosystem in which mankind participates is undergoing planetary scale alterations, giving birth to new unprecedented problems. The growth and changing distribution of human population is a constituent part of this so-called global change, and must be carefully studied in order to give the coming generations a chance for a better ...
