Run-time adaptive hierarchical neural architectures for representation learning in modular sensor networks Ghent University
The human brain excels when it comes to the efficient processing of multiple correlated
information streams. It continuously receives massive streams of sequential data from our
hearing, vision, touch and other senses. Nevertheless, it is capable to quickly process and learn
from these huge amounts of data, because it can efficiently abstract it into a more compact
representation and because it ...
The status and legal consequences under international law of odious foreign investment contracts in the context of political transitions KU Leuven
Strongly criticised peace operations in Rwanda and former Yugoslavia caused a change of course within the United Nations (UN). It was agreed both inside and outside the organisation that peace forces should no longer be deployed in conflict situations where peace could not be achieved without having the necessary robust mandate and military resources. At the turn of the century, the UN Security Council therefore introduced a new type of ...
Space and mobility in the work of Sergio Chejfec. An analysis of four of his books KU Leuven
This dissertation offers an approach to the prose fiction of the Argentine author Sergio Chejfec (1956). Over the past few decades, literary criticists highlighted Chejfec’s particular style and identified him as an important voice in the Argentine – and international – literary field. The theme of walking and the importance of space in the work of Chejfec is mentioned very often in critical approaches. Strangely enough, most approaches have ...
Modelling of the degenerative adaptation of the micro circulation and perfusion of the liver cirrhotic Ghent University
Cirrhosis is a detrimental condition of the liver, o.en attributed to an unhealthy lifestyle (e.g. alcohol abuse and fatty diet). It is characterized by severe distortion of the hepatic architecture, impairing the hepatic perfusion and function. Once cirrhosis reaches the decompensated stage, i.e. when complications become clinically present, it may culminate into liver insu.ciency or cancer. Cirrhosis is ranked the twel.h leading cause of ...
Improving the quality of industrial knives Sirris, the collective centre for the technological industry
Industrial knives are used for many processes in the technological industry. These are cutting, shearing and punching tools usually made of high-quality steels and heat-treated to increase strength and resistance to wear. The lifespan of these knives strongly depends ...
Copying As Common Practice in Early Modern Architecture Ghent University
This project advances the hypothesis that techniques of mechanical drawing, and specifically, drawings produced by manual copying and direct tracing, served as the bedrock of early modern architectural education prior to the advent of formal schools of architecture. The normative histories of fifteenth- and sixteenth-century Italian architecture have relegated drawings of mechanical subject matter (construction machinery, scaffolding systems, ...
Through the Prism of Antiquity: the Reception of Modernity in Late-Modern Latin Poetry (1845-1922) KU Leuven
The dominant view of neo-Latin poetry as Renaissance or early
modern poetry has so far prevented a thorough examination of the
production of Latin verse during the late modern period, from the
nineteenth century onwards. In fact, it was precisely during these
times of rapid change that the writing of Latin verse went through its
very last revival, predominantly within the context of international
poetry ...
