Physical properties of transition metal doped gold and silicon clusters studied with mass spectrometry and action spectroscopy KU Leuven
In the past decades physics has experienced a major transition, and alongside studying fundamental laws, the investigation of new structures, objects, and phenomena has become a focus. Currently, there is great interest in finding nanoscale structures with specific, application friendly, physical and chemical properties. Clusters, which are entities consisting of several up to thousands of atoms, are considered a valuable research topic. ...
How gravity and muscle action control mediolateral center of mass excursion during slow walking: A simulation study KU Leuven
Maintaining mediolateral (ML) balance is very important to prevent falling during walking, especially at very slow speeds. The effect of walking speed on support and propulsion of the center of mass (COM) has been focus of previous studies. However, the influence of speed on ML COM control and the associated coupling with sagittal plane control remains unclear. Simulations of walking at very slow and normal speeds were generated for twelve ...
Label-free cell assays to determine compound uptake or drug action using MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry KU Leuven
Cell-based assays for compound screening and profiling are fundamentally important in life sciences, chemical biology and pharmaceutical research. Most cell assays measure the amount of a single reporter molecule or cellular endpoint, and require the use of fluorescence or other labeled materials. Consequently, there is high demand for label-free technologies that enable multiple biomolecules or endpoints to be measured simultaneously. Here, we ...
On the graph and systems analysis of reversible chemical reaction networks with mass action kinetics Ghent University
Media Coverage of a "Connective" Action: The Interaction Between the 15-M Movement and the Mass Media Vrije Universiteit Brussel
This article uses Twitter messages sent in May 2011 to study the ability of the so-called 15-M movement, a "connective"? movement, to place their demands on the media agenda and maintain control over their own discourse. The results show that the activists' discourse included many issues, although greatest attention was given to three: electoral and party systems, democracy and governance, and civil liberties. Moreover, the study reveals that ...
Where the action is: underwater noise and its effects on sea bass larvae (Dicentrarchus labrax) at a piling platform Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
The pile-driving of monopiles has triggered a range of ecological questions regarding the impact of anthropogenically generated low frequency impulsive underwater noise on marine wildlife. This study tackles the impact of pile-driving on fish eggs and larvae which form the basis of fish populations and are an important prey for pelagic predators. Given that their transport is primarily current based; they are exposed to underwater noise present ...
Probiotics in sea bass larviculture : development and application of an innovative toolbox to unravel their modes of action Ghent University
Parietal maps of visual signals for bodily action planning KU Leuven
The posterior parietal cortex (PPC) has long been understood as a high-level integrative station for computing motor commands for the body based on sensory (i.e., mostly tactile and visual) input from the outside world. In the last decade, accumulating evidence has shown that the parietal areas not only extract the pragmatic features of manipulable objects, but also subserve sensorimotor processing of others' actions. A paradigmatic case is that ...
