The Value of Large-Scale Offshore Energy Storage in the Future Electricity Market KU Leuven
Electricity is a real-time product. Supply and demand, or generation and consumption, have to match exactly at any instance to support the stable operation of the power system. This results from the fact that electricity is not economically storable on a large scale. While this is challenged by techno-economic developments leading to increased and improved storage capacities, storage levels remain well below that of other energy commodities. ...

Because I am Greek: Polyonymy and the Expression of Ethnicity in Ptolemaic Egypt KU Leuven
Digital radiation therapy patient. KU Leuven
The past decade has seen a revolution in radiation therapy technology, offering exceptional flexibility in dose delivery. Image guidance during treatment ensures a reliable targeting of the dose to the tumor. This has created the possibility to irradiate the tumor with a high dose with minimal exposure of surrounding tissue. Thus an improvement in tumor control is no longer invariably associated with an increase in radiation-induced ...
