to test and realize software for automatic interpretation of lung function.
Over the past decade it has become standard practice in European countries to use language tests as part of migration and integration policy. The fact that the empirical evidence supporting the use of language tests as a proxy for integration, is rather thin has not stopped these policies from gaining traction worldwide. This research project holds that policy against the light in terms of validity, effectiveness and fairness. In doing so, we ...
The project's overall aim is the fabrication of ultra-sensitive immunoturbidimetric tests. To achieve this purpose, it proposes a strategy for on the basis of polystyrene beads which are functionalized with a reactive group, in combination with the suppression of non-specific interactions by means of a polymer coating. Through comprehensive evaluation and optimization of the modified polystyrene beads they will develop four specific test for ...
In this project fire tests and numerical simulations thereof (CFD: Computational Fluid Dynamics) are analysed. Additional CFD simulations are performed, of scenarios that are not tested experimentally. Based on the results of the analysis an assessment framework is elaborated, expressing the fire safety level as function of fire protection measures, in the context of elderly homes. This assessment framework is useful for Flemish regulations ...
Tradional regression models are used to analyse the conditional mean of the response variable as a function of covariates and factors. In this project, a nonparametric framework will be developped in which informative nonparametric tests are studied for testing effects of covariates on several moments simultaneously (dispersion, skewness, U+2026).
The overall goal of the project is the realization of an integrated 4D X-ray Computer Tomography (4DXCT) toolbox for the in situ mechanical testing and analysis of fibrous materials. Two representative sample studies of fibrous materials, whose mechanical behavior and damage development are still insufficiently understood, will demonstrate the general applicability of our approach: 3D printed composite materials (3DPCM) and biological tissues ...
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive brain cancer in adults. In spite of intensive treatment, median survival is still only 15 months. Reasons that explain failure to develop more efficient therapies include the high invasiveness of the tumor, its complex genetics, and interpatient and intra-tumoral heterogeneity. Understanding and mapping the complexity of the different tumour cell populations and how each of these respond to therapy, ...
