Phosphate saturation and phosphate leaching of acidic sandy soils in Flanders: analysis and mitigation options Ghent University
Selective backhauls in truck transport with risk mitigation : large Belgian retailer case study Ghent University
In this work the problem of selective backhauls in the transport of fresh products is investigated for the case of a large Belgian grocery retailer. Explicit measures for estimating the risk involved in certain route - vendor backhauling combinations, which emerge from the uncertainties involved in over road transport and unforeseen waiting and loading/unloading times at the depot or stores, are constructed. Two different models are proposed: an ...
Application of Improved CFD Modeling for Prediction and Mitigation of Traffic-Related Air Pollution Hotspots in a Realistic Urban Street Vrije Universiteit Brussel University of Antwerp
The correct prediction of air pollutants dispersed in urban areas is of paramount importance to safety, public health and a sustainable environment. Vehicular traffic is one of the main sources of nitrogen oxides (NO x) and particulate matter (PM), strongly related to human morbidity and mortality. In this study, the pollutant level and distribution in a section of one of the main road arteries of Antwerp (Belgium, Europe) are analyzed. The ...
Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on cancer researchers in 2020 : a qualitative study of events to inform mitigation strategies Ghent University
The climate change mitigation impacts of active travel: Evidence from a longitudinal panel study in seven European cities Hasselt University
Active travel (walking or cycling for transport) is considered the most sustainable and low carbon form of getting from A to B. Yet the net effects of changes in active travel on changes in mobility-related CO 2 emissions are complex and under-researched. Here we collected longitudinal data on daily travel behavior, journey purpose, as well as personal and geospatial characteristics in seven European cities and derived mobility-related lifecycle ...
The climate change mitigation effects of daily active travel in cities Hasselt University
Active travel (walking or cycling for transport) is considered the most sustainable form of personal transport. Yet its net effects on mobility-related CO2 emissions are complex and underresearched. Here we collected travel activity data in seven European cities and derived life cycle CO2 emissions across modes and purposes. Daily mobility-related life cycle CO2 emissions were 3.2 kgCO(2) per person, with car travel contributing 70% and cycling ...
Mycotoxins in Ethiopia : current status, implications to food safety and mitigation strategies Ghent University
Mycotoxins are one of the most significant contributors to food losses in developing countries including Ethiopia, and became a recurring food safety challenge. Many studies have reported the occurrence of mycotoxins in food and food commodities in Ethiopia. Aflatoxins, ochratoxins, fumonisins, and deoxynivalenol are among the most hazardous mycotoxins produced by the different fungal species. Groundnut, cereals (maize, sorghum, Leff, wheat, ...
Sustainable agricultural practices, environmental risk mitigation and livelihood improvements : empirical evidence from Northern Ethiopia Ghent University
Using sustainable agriculture practices has various economic, social and environmental benefits. Determining the attitude of farmers toward risk is an important first step in understanding their behaviour and coping strategies to mitigate environmental risks. This paper investigates the dual impacts of some agricultural practices on agricultural yields and farmers' livelihoods considering sustainable farmland. Cross-sectional data is collected ...
