Why motor adaptation deteriorates in older adults: decoding a cerebellar-based network Hasselt University
Pore-scale modelling of moisture transfer in building materials: fullscale pore network construction and hygric property simulation KU Leuven
What if we were able to fully exploit the relation between the pore structure and the hygric properties of porous materials to truly ‘engineer’ the moisture performance of building materials ? Or more specifically, what if we were able to predict the moisture properties of building materials directly from pore structure information ? This would accelerate the hygric analysis of existing building materials and facilitate the hygric design of ...
Double dynamic polymer network architectures for multi-stimuliresponsive materials. Vrije Universiteit Brussel
design criteria for structures ever more complex and material
requirements ever more demanding. In light of these scientific
challenges, smart materials are being developed. Stimuli-responsive
materials are such smart materials, exhibiting adaptability in
response of environmental stimuli. Self-healing materials are able to
repair damage ...
The “Auxiliaries of the Apostolate” (Auxilium): a 20th-century Network of Belgian Catholic Lay Women and their Role in Societal and Ecclesiastical Change (1940-1977) KU Leuven
Lay women of the Auxiliaries of the Apostolate (Auxilium) combined a
Christian vocation with a professional life at all levels of society, from
the presidency of the Christian Women Workers' League (KAV) to
local community work,. Their vows to the bishop, however, required
them to be discreet about belonging to this international community,
an unrecognized network of likeminded women striving to transform
both ...
Mapping hemisphere asymmetries in brain network topology Ghent University
Many hemispheric asymmetries in brain structure and function have been reported in previous research, suggesting an advantage of a typical asymmetrical organization. The majority of these studies focused on the asymmetry of a single function or brain structure, rather than investigating brain organization as a whole network. The proposed project aims to examine asymmetries of the entire structural and functional brain network or connectome ...
Tensor network renormalization group methods in higher dimensions Ghent University
Tensor network renormalization group algorithms have, since the invention of the Multiscale Entanglement Renormalization Group and the Tensor Renormalization Group methods, proven to be useful tools in understanding emergent behavior in many-body systems, both numerically and conceptually. They provide efficient methods for numerically evaluating observables even for critical systems, and describe their emergent behavior in terms of ...
Network for Agent-based modelling of Socio-ecological systems in Archaeology (NASA) KU Leuven
The end goal of this research network for the period 2020-2024 is to gather an international, interdisciplinary group of researchers to collect and compile ABM elements (implementation modules, techniques, approaches, etc.) and organise them as an open modelling library. The targets of this network are: 1) identify and compile crucial modelling topics for the library; 2) collect and develop best practices and modelling guidelines; 3) develop ...

DISCO-Func: Discrete Optimization in Neural Network Function Classes through Submodular Analysis KU Leuven
Driven by advances in deep learning, powerful automated algorithms enable us to hold conversations with virtual assistants running on our mobile phone, cars are autonomously driving on streets in mixed traffic, increasingly sophisticated medical diagnostic software is assisting doctors in making life-saving decisions, and social networks and media libraries are automatically indexed and personalized to individual users. At the core of these ...
