SHE for HIM: Simulated Human Environment for the Human Interface Mate KU Leuven
Machine learning is giving computers the ability to learn, or adapt their behavior, based on information they receive. By giving these "learning programs" the right information, they can be trained for a specific purpose. At this point in time, most of the machine learning algorithms that are trained need a large amount of training data in order to become good at something. One could train a program to recognize cars in a picture for example, ...
The Emergent Urbanism(s) of Suburbio, GuayaquilA spatial ethnography of incremental grassroots development in times of a changing society and environment KU Leuven
Guayaquil – Ecuador’s main port and largest settlement – is a 70 per cent self-built city located amidst the most biodiverse estuarine complex of the South Pacific: the Guayas River Estuary. The city’s first suburbs proliferated in ecologically fragile zones in which the urban fabric and public spaces were crafted incrementally by various generations and through a multitude of design decisions. These now consolidated low-income neighbourhoods ...

Characterisation of acoustic liner impedance in representative turbofan engine flight environment KU Leuven
Introduction
The central subject of the scientific research performed during the Doctoral Training (PhD) consists in the study of the impedance provided by acoustic liners through the improvement and the application of the numerical modelling and the experimental capabilities available in Alenia Aermacchi and K.U.Leuven. A better understanding of the main driving parameters is expected to lead both the optimisation of current liner ...
Impact of bio-energy culture in the environment: greenhouse gas emissions, carbon sequestration in soil, and biodiversity. University of Antwerp
Residential heating using heat pumps and hot water storage tanks - Tank sizing to minimize environmental impact in a renewable energy context KU Leuven
Global warming caused by anthropogenic greenhouse gas emission is expected to have long lasting effects on the environment, ecosystems and human society in the near future unless emissions are decreased. Electrifying residential heating loads through the use of heat pumps, can contribute to reducing residential greenhouse gas emissions. The addition of a dedicated thermal energy storage tank can provide additional flexibility to the ...
