Sabbatical Iris Kesternich: Labor markets in transition: the role of flexibility and teleworking KU Leuven
n previous years my research has focused on the influence of non-monetary incentives on labor markets. Recently, I have become interested in the big changes in labor markets that lead to an increase in the role of flexibility and teleworking. I am especially interested in how these changes affect gender differences on the labor market as well as gender differences in retirement income. In the first part of the project, I will introduce labor ...
Quantile estimation for multivariate data using the multivariate generalised hyperbolic distribution Hasselt University
Linking strategic, tactical and operational decisions in the operating room department to achieve operational excellence Ghent University
The endeavor for operational excellence in the operating room (OR) department is hampered by the uncertainty underlying the patient demand for healthcare resources. Incorporating this uncertainty is complicated since the planning and scheduling decisions involving both resources and patients are typically organized according to a hierarchical decision structure due to the different nature and time horizons of the involved decisions in ...

PhD position to investigate plant resistance to DNA viruses KU Leuven
Plant DNA viruses, including Geminiviridae and Nanoviridae, are pathogens of economic and food security importance because they are the causal agent of viral diseases in several staple crops. A few genes conferring various resistance levels against geminiviruses, some being dominant or partially dominant, have been used in Solanaceae breeding programmes. Progress in genome sequencing and assembly is providing new opportunities to identify ...
Supramolecular Self-Assembly of Conjugated Oligomers and Polymers under Lateral 2D Confinement KU Leuven
Complex regular fractional factorial experimental designs: enumeration, evaluation and application KU Leuven
Whether it is to minimize the operating costs of a production line, or to optimize the taste of a new dish in a kitchen, experiments are present all around us in many shapes and sizes. Any experiment can be boiled down to the study of a system, where input factors are changed to see how they affect the output. In most cases, there is some kind of restriction on the available resources. There are many different types of restrictions. For ...
