Housing techniques and management tools for ammonia and odour emission reduction in the Flemish pig husbandry (CAEH - Control of Air quality and Emissions at animal Houses) Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
Flanders needs efficient and affordable techniques to reduce ammonia and odor emissions from piggeries. This research project aims to develop such techniques and to help implementing these in the pig fattening industry. In addition to individual techniques, the focus is also on the efficiency of technique combinations and their applicability for different farm types. Finally, testing platforms ...
Cofunding core facility - Animalarium,Radiological and Radiobiological Techniques, Histology Core Ghent University
The services and infrastructure offered within the CORE ARTH include the integration of four areas of expertise: laboratory animal housing (Animal facilities), non-invasive in vivo imaging of small laboratory animals (Radiological Techniques), Histology and Radiobiological techniques (biological response after radiation). These four disciplines are complementary and necessary in laboratory animal research, and certainly add value when the ...
Profit Driven Analytics: New Techniques and Applications KU Leuven
Modern breeding techniques for maize Ghent University
This course “Modern breeding techniques of maize” focuses on (1) the latest scientific developments and tools to accelerate maize breeding (both conventional breeding and biotechnological techniques), (2) the latest essential insights in the regulatory framework and environmental risk assessment principles in Africa and Europe and (3) methods to collect reliable data that allow a thorough environmental risk assessment of new maize ...
Inventory and monitoring techniques for black vine weevil and related weevil species in tree nurseries Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
In Flemish ornamental horticulture, in ordinary gardens, in public green areas, and on strawberry and small fruit companies, more and more damage is being suffered because of the weevil Otiorhynchus sulcatus (family Curculionidae) and related weevil species. To date, there is still no optimal control method available. That is why problems with this beetle and other snout beetles have been ...
Symplectic Techniques in Differential Geometry KU Leuven
Symplectic geometry is the mathematical framework which was created to most efficiently describe classical mechanics. It dates back to Hamilton's formulation of Newton's laws of motion, in the 1800s. The modern subject, however, was truly born much more recently, in the 1960s and 1970s, following the discovery of surprising "rigid" and "flexible" phenomena. The subject has become a study in the tension between these two conflicting ...
