Integrative interactome and protein modification analysis of HNF4α in sepsis Ghent University
Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection. Recent insights have endorsed the importance of energy metabolism in the pathophysiology, governed by the liver. Previous research by our group links the downregulation of certain metabolic genes in sepsis to a loss of function and reduced DNA-binding activity of HNF4α, a key transcription factor. The transcriptional activity of nuclear ...
Market Integration and Value Chain Analysis of the Dairy Sub-Sector in Uganda: An Econometric Analysis Ghent University
1. To analyze dairy value chain in order to identify and prioritize chain integration constraints and come up with strategies for leveraged interventions.
Outputs
- Constraints to diary value chain integration identified and documented.
- Available opportunities that can be exploited identified and documented.
- Strategies for intervention for value chain integration identified.
PALIM (Pilot Project Addressing Labour Shortages Through Innovative Labour Migration Models): analysis of settling in policies, integration actors and the single permit Ghent University
PALIM (Pilot Project Addressing Labour Shortages Through Innovative Labour Migration Models) is een pilootproject uitgevoerd door het Belgische ontwikkelingsagentschap Enabel, met de steun van de Europese Unie en het International Centre for Migration Policy Development (ICMDP). Het project wil een nieuw arbeidsmigratiemodel testen, door de ontwikkeling van de ICT-sector in Marokko te linken aan het gebrek aan goed opgeleide ...
Integration and harmonic analysis on Stiefel manifolds and Grassmannians Ghent University
The original Pizzetti formula describes rotation invariant integration over a sphere as the action of powers of the Laplace operator, showing a close relationship with the theory of spherical harmonics. The goals of this project are to characterize extensions of the Pizzetti formula to the contexts of Stiefel manifolds and Grassmannians and to study the connections with the theory of harmonic polynomials on these homogeneous spaces. By ...
Applications and Analysis of Lattice Points: Time-stepping and Integration over Rd KU Leuven
We study numerical methods for function approximation and numerical integration. Specifically, we study so called "quasi-Monte Carlo" (QMC) methods. QMC methods are widely used thechniques using deterministic point sets whereas Monte Carlo methods use (pseudo-) random numbers. QMC methods in high dimensions can usually be more efficient than other methods when the problem has a specific high-dimensional structure. Since high-dimensional ...
High-throughput mutation analysis trough genomic data integration, genomic DNA capture and ultra high-throughput sequencing: towards the discovery of mutation networks. KU Leuven
The field of human genetics has evolved at a dramatically fast pace over the past few decades. Breakthroughs in sequencing technologies and large-scale global initiatives such as the Human Genome Project and the Thousand Genomes Project have advanced our understanding of the human genome. The field of clinical genomics tries to leverage such resources in order to determine how variation in the genome influences human health, ranging from ...
