Accounting for Complex Structure in Diffusion Weighted Imaging Data using Volume Fraction Representations KU Leuven
The domain of diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) has come a long way since its initial development in the mid-1980s. Over the years, we have gained a better understanding of the accompanying techniques and necessary processing steps involved, furthermore leading to a wealth of new insights in the complex workings of the (human) brain. The introduction of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) has played a crucial role in thisprocess, as it provided ...

Neighbours and nobles. Exploring micro-regional use of space to identify protohistoric social structure in Central Adriatic Italy Ghent University
Dit project onderzoekt de veranderende sociale structuur van kleine gemeenschappen uit de
Brons- en IJzertijd (ca. 2400-400 v.Chr.) in Centraal-Adriatisch Italië. Archeologen weten nog steeds
weinig over hoe deze kleinschalige boeren en herders georganiseerd waren. Uit grafvondsten blijkt
dat er vanaf de Late Bronstijd sprake is van toenemende sociale hiërarchie, wat in de IJzertijd
uitmondt in ...
Agency and structure in practices of educational innovation. A description and analysis of implementation practices in primary and secondary schools. KU Leuven
Firstly, the diversity in implementation practices ...
Structure from Semantics KU Leuven
The SfS project (Structure from Semantics) aims at developing a novel approach to 3D reconstruction, starting from a single RGB image as input. This new approach is completely semantics-driven: by analysing the image content, recognizing and localizing the objects therein, an estimate of the 3D of the whole scene will be obtained, building on a large dataset of 3D object category models that can be fitted to the objects depicted in the image. ...
Advances in nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy for the structure elucidation of water-extractable and water-unextractable arabinoxylan from wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) flour KU Leuven
The consumption of dietary fiber is associated with several health benefits. As a staple crop, wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a major source of dietary fiber in the diet of a large portion of the world population.
The predominant dietary fiber in wheat is arabinoxylan (AX). It consists of a linear backbone of β-(1,4)-linked ß-D-xylopyranosyl (xylose) residues that can be unsubstituted (uXyl), mono-substituted (mXyl) or ...
Structure and magnetism of metastable y-Fe nanoparticles in SrTiO3 KU Leuven
Iron (Fe), one of the most abundant elements on Earth, can appear in different structural phases associated with contrasting magnetic properties, depending on temperature and pressure. The most common phase is a-Fe, which has a body-centered cubic (bcc) structure and is ferromagnetic. Another iron allotrope, y-Fe, a high temperature phase in bulk, has a face-centered cubic structure (fcc). However, this iron allotrope has been stabilized at ...
3-dimensional structure and function of a TRPM ion channel KU Leuven
Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels belong to a family of ion channels that are activated and regulated by a wide variety of stimuli, including temperature, voltage, mechanical stress and binding of specific ligands. Consequently, TRP channels are involved in various sensations of temperature, pain, pressure, taste and vision. Current knowledge into the structure of TRP channels derives from near-atomic resolution structures of TRPV1, ...
Understanding the Atomic Structure of Fe-rich Slags and Alkali-activated Materials KU Leuven
The substantial global anthropogenic CO2 emissions are considered one of the main contributors to global warming. The cement and concrete industry alone account for approximately 8-9% of the global anthropogenic CO2 emissions. These staggering figures are expected to increase in the future, due to the rising demand for housing and infrastructure. In the search for CO2 mitigating cement technologies, alkali-activated non-ferrous metallurgy ...
