The Beautiful, the Sublime, and the Agreeable. An Interpretation and Reconstruction of Kant's Critique of the Aesthetic Power of Judgment KU Leuven
Kant’s Critique of the Power of Judgment aims to reconcile the theoretical and practical parts of philosophy by means of the reflecting power of judgment and its principle of the purposiveness of nature. In ascribing morality to nature’s purposiveness, however, Kant eventually appeals to a kind of practical necessity rather than the power of judgment itself, such that his reconciliation remains incomplete and only partially ...
Risk and Protective Factors of Dyslexia: A study of auditory temporal processing and morphological awareness KU Leuven
Dyslexia is a neurological condition affecting 5-7% of the population, which impacts an individual’s ability learning to read and write despite adequate intelligence, education and remediation. The predominant etiological view postulates that dyslexia results from a deficit in the phonological domain, specifically in the quality and accuracy of phonological representations. A vital component in the development of phonological representations ...
Problematizing Interdisciplinary Performance Through Noise AP Hogeschool Antwerpen
Exploring integrated Spin-Orbit Torque SOT-MRAM for nonvolatile, low power, and ultrafast magnetic memories KU Leuven
There is considerable interest in electrically controlling nano-magnets in order to develop non-volatile magnetic memories (MRAM) [1]. Most advanced MRAM devices are magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJ) that consist of two ferromagnetic layers separated by a very thin oxide barrier, one of the layer being the storage layer, the other is used as reference layer. Depending on the relative orientation of the magnetization of these two layers ...
The Reception of European Cultures in British Romantic Review Periodicals, 1809-1827 KU Leuven
My PhD studied two British journals founded in the early nineteenth century. In British art history, this period is called the Romantic period: though it is more complex than that, emotions and nature were more important to Romantic artists than order and structure. Well-known British Romantic artists are the painter John Constable, whose landscapes (with their impressive clouds) are worth millions today; or the poet William Wordsworth, at ...
Pictographic Communication Technologies for Browsing the Web. KU Leuven
In order to improve the accessibility of the Internet for users with reading and writing disabilities, we develop a set of tools that automatically translate Dutch natural language text into pictographs and vice versa for people with an intellectual disability (ID), allowing them to read and write status updates, emails, and chat messages in online environments.
For the conversion of texts into pictographs, we start from an existing ...
Shakespeare is dead! Textual dramaturgy in the theatre work of Paul Pourveur. KU Leuven
Research title
Text theatricality in the Dutch theatre repertoire of Paul Pourveur
Problem statement
The theatrical repertoire of Paul Pourveur turns out to be resistant to an evident staging. Our hypothesis is that this is due to the specific text theatricality that largely overpowers the dramatic theatricality of his work. In this study we want to find out which specific elements or strategies constitute this ...
Exploratory devices for nonvolatile, low power, and ultrafast magnetic memories KU Leuven
There is considerable interest in electrically controlling nano-magnets (Spintronic) in order to develop non-volatile magnetic memories (MRAM). Most advanced MRAM devices are magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJ) that consist of two ferromagnetic layers separated by a very thin oxide barrier, one of the layer being the storage layer, the other is used as reference layer. Depending on the relative orientation of the magnetization of these two layers ...
The Giant VCMA Effect for Novel MRAM Applications KU Leuven
This project aims to make possible the next generation of magnetic memory (MRAM) replacing the present Spin-Transfer Torque (STT) current controlled STT MRAM by a low power, nonvolatile voltage controlled MRAM. With voltage controlled MRAM, we aspire to reduce future chip power consumption, important for the future of nanoelectronics. Apart from reducing computing’s energy footprint, increasing energy efficiency is also crucial to realise the ...
