Study of the role of molecular environments on conceptual density functional theory descriptors using an efficient expansion of the 'frozen density' embedding method Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Efficient simulation and optimization of differential algebraic equations on embedded hardware for control. KU Leuven
Dynamic optimization based control and estimation techniques have gained increasing popularity, because of their ability to treat a wide range of problems and applications. They rely on the explicit formulation of a cost function, which needs to be minimized given the constraints of the problem and the system dynamics. Especially in the context of real-time applications of control and estimation on embedded hardware, the computational burden ...
Development of highly efficient gas/liquid photomicroreactor systems Ghent University
The use of miniaturized reactor systems (microreactors) will be evaluated in photochemical reactions. These are not hampered by low penetration of light, due to the small channels, and can mediate good contact between gaseous and liquid products. Energy efficiency will be improved by taking advantage of recent advances in lighting technology. Energy efficient LED and laser lighting lowers energy demands.
Near-field measurement techniques for the efficient solving EMC emission Problem Ghent University
This project aims to develop, implement, test and demonstrate an industrially useful workflow based on various near-field measurement techniques to find the root cause of EMC emissions problem efficiently and cost-effectively solve. It will also examine and indicate how near-field techniques can be used to test prototypes early in the design process or (sub) modules and characterize to avoid later problems of EMC, signal and power ...
Robust and Efficient purification of waste water from recovery and recycling companies: REWARE Ghent University
In scrap processing companies runoff rainwater is heavily loaded and has an appropriate water treatment business needs. On the basis of an inventory of the problem parameters, a selection will be made of suitable chemicals and materials for a physico-chemical water treatment (in the first instance: sand filtration, coagulation / flocculation followed by (slats) sedimentation and activated carbon filtration). This water treatment will be ...
Development of a clustering strategy for computational efficient, physically based, hydrologic modelling Ghent University
The overall research objective is to develop a computationally efficient strategy to perform simulations of spatially distributed, physically based hydrologic models at a large scale and at a fine spatio-temporal resolution. More specifically a clustering of grid cells with a similar hydrologic response will be performed in order to reduce the computation time, without a considerable loss of predictive power.
Efficient numerical methods for inverse problems in electrical energlyk hybrid systems Ghent University
The planned project concerns a fundamental research in the field of inverse problems in electrical energy hybrid systems. particularly, the aim is to provide efficeint and robust numerical solutions for inverse problems in electrical energy systems taking into account the non-linearity and stochastic natures of the systems' elements, as well as the hybrid dynamical behavior of the systems.
Network architectures and protocols for efficient ad hoc collaboration between heterogeneous networked objects Ghent University
In the Internet-of-Things, an increasing number of heterogeneous devices will be co-located
in the same area. Current networking approaches are not designed to support efficient direct communication between co-located devices from different networks. To optimize these
heterogeneous networks, ad hoc cooperation between co-located devices of different network
technologies is needed.
To this end, this project develops ...
