A general law describing the diffusion of membrane proteins in vivo based on single molecule tracking of membrane proteins in Escherichia Coli. KU Leuven
The ultimate goal of cell biology is to understand how proteins function in real cells and to understand their regulatory mechanisms. To achieve this goal one needs to analyze molecules in their cellular environment and not under idealized test tube conditions. A major difference between in vivo and in vitro conditions is the crowdedness (and associated molecular complexity) of the cytoplasm and biological membranes. As a consequence ...

Electrical steel with improved "core loss" due increasing of resistivity and low magnetostriction by Al and Si deposition on surface and subsequent solid state diffusion Ghent University
FeSi steels are used as magnetic core in Electrical machines (motors, generators and transformers). An increasing of their electric resistivity would be advantageous for power loss as heat dissipation during the magnetization process. A research project is proposed, where such increasing of resistivity is realized by the deposition on the surface of the steel, already at final thickness, of increasing resistivity element such as Si and Al, ...
Adaptive Multi-Drug Infusion Control System for General Anesthesia in Major Surgery (AMICAS) Ghent University
A major challenge in anesthesia is to adapt the drug infusion rates from observed patient response to surgical stimuli. The patient models are based on nominal population characteristic response and lack specific surgical effects. In major surgery (e.g. cardiac, transplant, obese patients) modelling uncertainty stems from significant blood losses, anomalous drug diffusion, drug effect synergy/antagonism, anesthetic-hemodynamic interactions, ...
