An integrated approach to business decisions and processes for business process optimization and control Hasselt University
Goal-Oriented Process Control by Including Expert Knowledge in Model-Based Reinforcement Learning using Soft Constraints. University of Antwerp
In-situ process monitoring and control of femtosecond laser machining KU Leuven
The aim is to develop process monitoring and control solutions for microscale features fabricated on metal surfaces by femtosecond laser machining. Monitoring and sensing will be conducted during the laser machining process using optics-based visualization, a displacement sensor, and acoustic emission technology. In addition, machine learning methods will be used to analyse the relation between process parameters and intended geometrical ...
Development of a thermochemical data driven process control philosophy for application in industrial combustion of non-recyclable waste KU Leuven
Waste-to-energy (WtE) is a technique to reduce the volume of collected waste. By burning waste, energy is recovered through steam production, which in turn is used to produce electricity or as a heat source. Thus, the goal is to achieve the most stable steam production possible during the operation of the WtE. The combustion of waste releases gases, which can cause corrosion in the plant and consequently incur large costs. It is important to ...
Real-time detection of impendent depressive episodes using statistical process control KU Leuven
The development of a flow sheet model for a full continuous pharmaceutical from-powder-to-tablet manufacturing line to gather process knowledge and the development of control strategies Ghent University
Mechanistic models of pharmaceutical processes are required to predict and control the continuous production of tablets based on real-time measurements and adjustment of significant process variables. The development of these models will adopt a step-wise approach. In this project the focus will be the modelling of a full continuous from-powder-to-tablet manufacturing line
Integration of process control concept, dynamic simulation modelling, and molecular tools in microbiological risk assessment: the case of Campylobacter spp. Contamination in broiler meat processing Ghent University
The study will adopt a multidisciplinary scientific approach for development of Campylobacter Microbiological Risk Assessment (MRA) aiming at reducing the risk of human disease from consumption or mishandling of raw or undercooked broiler meat products. Micriobiological, epidemiological and molecular genetic studies will be integrated to provide mathematical and biological contribution to Campylobacter risk mitigation strategies in broiler ...
Hormonal control of hte endoreduplication process in arabidopsis thaliana roots Ghent University
Endoreduplicating cells duplicate their genome without mitosis. Despite its widespread character and apparent importance, there is a lack of knowledge on the physiological control of the endocycly. By focusing on the root, we aim to analyze in detail how different hormones affect the endoreduplication cycle in a tissue-dependent manner.
Sabbatical Eva Ceulemans: Online detection of depressive episodes through statistical proces control KU Leuven
Depression has a major impact on all aspects of life and must therefore be done early
may be detected to prevent worse. Although more and more researchers use
mobile phones collect information about fluctuations in emotions and sleep, and demonstrate this
these changes are predictive of depression, there are currently no good ones
statistical methods are available to monitor this information online and prospectively ...
