Modelling 3D structure of forest canopies using terrestrial LiDAR data to evaluate remotely sensed hyperspectral response KU Leuven
The forest canopy is a region of vast ecological relevance constituting the bulk for photosynthetically active foliage and biomass. Canopy-radiation interactions taking place in forest canopies are fundamental in understanding forest growth, regeneration and dynamics. Light detection and ranging scanning systems, have greatly contributed to the development of comprehensive 3D models across a wide range of disciplines, and is becoming key in ...
Strategic Research Programme: Exploiting the Advantages of Order and Geometrical Structure for a Greener Chemistry Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Inter-relations of protein Tau, GSK3 and Nectin-3 in synaptic structure and plasticity in the hippocampus of mouse models for Alzheimer's disease KU Leuven
Dynamic Modeling of Macro-Fiber Composite Transducers Integrated into Composite Structures KU Leuven
Composite structures have been already widely applied in engineering. Laminated composites using isotropic or anisotropic layers provide numerous options for designing lightweight structural components, that have high static stiffness and excellent impact resistance for automotive and aerospace products. However, lightweight structures can be susceptible to external disturbances due to mass reduction and light damping in many cases. As a ...
Hierarchically Structured Porous Bodies from Capillary Suspensions KU Leuven
The combination of ceramic’s intrinsic properties such as chemical resistance, temperature stability, and mechanical properties, with the low density and high permeability of porous materials has been of interest in many industrial applications such as in biomedical, filtration, energy storage, heat exchange, gas adsorption, insulation, as lightweight construction materials or as catalyst monoliths or catalyst supports. The ceramics need to ...

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 ...
