Studying the unthinkable designer: Designing in the absence of sight KU Leuven
This paper aims at contributing to a more articulate understanding of the nature of design ability. To this end, we study a designer that may seem unthinkable at first glance: an architect who lost his sight and continues designing in this new condition. Based on the analysis of interviews, lectures and documents, we report and illustrate what this "unthinkable" designer and his way of working tell us about the nature of design ability, and the ...
Wind induced ovalling vibrations in silo groups Ghent University
With a modern day tendency in architecture to build slender structures with a low eigenfrequency, wind loading often constitutes the critical design load. During a storm in October 2002, wind induced ovalling vibrations were observed on several empty silos of a closely spaced group (pitch-to-diameter ratio of 1.05) consisting of 8 by 5 thin-walled silos in the port of Antwerp (Belgium) [1]. While realistic information on dynamic wind loads is ...

Empirical Evaluation of the Efficiency of Spatial Subdivision Schemes and Load Balancing Strategies for Networked Games Hasselt University
In this paper, we present an empirical evaluation of four spatial subdivision and three load balancing schemes that may be used for large-scale single-shard virtual environments, such as 3D networked Games and Virtual Communities. ALVIC-NG is an architecture that targets these environments and supports dynamic resource allocation. The scalability of an application based on ALVIC-NG and networked virtual environments in general is (among other ...
Defining an Embodiment Space for Intelligibility Hasselt University
One fundamental barrier to the wide-scale adoption of intelligible systems is the lack of commonly available software designs that allow system designers to readily refer to and complete the finished product with intelligible capabilities. A number of intelligible systems and toolkits that provide different kinds of explanations have been proposed. It is still unclear how the additional information needed to provide these explanations into the ...
Atypical development of Chaetomorpha antennina in culture (Cladophorales, Chlorophyta) Meise Botanic Garden Ghent University
P>The green seaweed genus Chaetomorpha is characterized by unbranched filaments. Molecular phylogenetic data indicate that Chaetomorpha forms a clade that is nested in a paraphyletic assemblage of branched species (Cladophora). It follows that the unbranched condition is evolutionarily conserved and likely evolved early in the evolution of this clade. In this study we show that under laboratory culture conditions, the filaments of C. ...
Filter-resistant code injection on ARM KU Leuven
Code injection attacks are one of the most powerful and important classes of attacks on software. In these attacks, the attacker sends malicious input to a software application, where it is stored inmemory. Themalicious input is chosen in such a way that its representation in memory is also a valid representation of a machine code program that performs actions chosen by the attacker. The attacker then triggers a bug in the application to divert ...
