Strategic Research Programme: Conceptual Density Functional Theory: Towards a general treatment of chemical reactivity and design of molecules with optimal reactivity properties Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Automated Concept Design for Automatic Automotive Transmissions KU Leuven
Introduction / Objective
The design of early stage concepts has a crucial impact on all following developments and optimization of a product. Generative engineering aims to support designers in discovering and choosing these concepts through computational means. A methodology for the generative discovery of planetary transmission designs is presented which supports efficient architecture (i.e. concept) generation, an automated synthesis ...
Strategic Research Programme: Center for model-based system improvement - From Computer-Aided Engineering to Model-Aided Engineering Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Tracing the translation of news in community radio in South Africa: An actor-network approach KU Leuven
Tracing the translation of community radio news in South Africa: An actor-network approach
In South Africa, community radio is a powerful medium of communication for distributing news and information to particular radio audiences in specific languages. Radio is an interactive platform through which remote communities are able to communicate about issues that affect their daily lives. The community radio audience has the ...
Adaptive Direct Search for Single- and Multi-Objective Black-Box Optimization KU Leuven
With the growth of computational power in the last decades, the penetration of numerical methods in engineering workflows has drastically increased. Advanced design and analysis programs have become standard tools in the engineering practice. Concurrently, the state of the art in numerical optimization has also been steadily advancing. Given the close interconnection between engineering and optimization, it is no surprise that the trend ...
Chaff-Based Profile Obfuscation KU Leuven
Driven by the economics of surveillance capitalism, online service providers profile users to infer information about them, feeding automated decision-making
processes such as targeted advertising or user experimentation that prompt grave concerns about people’s privacy, autonomy and democratic sovereignty,
among other rights. Market forces and lack of state intervention have forestalled the emergence of privacy-preserving ...
Development of Inorganic Polymers for Near-zero Energy Dwellings KU Leuven
Alkali activation has been emerging as a sustainable technology to produce innovative construction materials. Alkali-activated materials have been extensively investigated, but different levels of scientific understanding and industrial implementation can be found among several subgroups of such materials.
The most widely examined alkali-activated materials are commonly known as geopolymers. The scientific knowledge of their reaction ...
