Semiconductor photo-electrocatalysts for enhanced selectivity in CO2 Reduction Reactions KU Leuven
Global warming as a result of industrial age CO2 emissions is a prime societal concern with a growing popular awareness calling for policy measures. A behavioral change is important, but technology also needs to come with solutions to reduce emissions and, hopefully, even reverse it. The acid rain crisis of the 80's has been resolved by the introduction of newly developed catalyst convertors together with proper environmental policies. A ...

Brain representations and predictions of social reactions in typical development and in people with autism KU Leuven
The human brain not only creates representations of the world (e.g., visual images on the retina) but also continuously makes predictions about the environment (e.g., what will I see next). One of the most complex tasks of the brain is to represent and predict social behavior of others. This social ability is impaired in individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) but it is unclear at what level of the brain hierarchy this process is ...
Photonic reduction, frequency and word order. Towards an usage based analysis of phonetic reduction in (semi-) lexical constructions Ghent University
The research studies phonetic reduction phenomena across the word boundaries that cannot of explained by mechanisms such as ease of articulation and word frequency. The research hypothesis is that the formation of constructions, as formulated in construction grammar and grammaticalization research, can contribute to far reaching reduction of word sequences. The interaction of phonetic reduction, frequency and the development of constructions ...
Evaluating Collective Working-Time Reductions in Belgian companies - COLORBEL Ghent University
The concept of collective reduction in working time (RWT) is gaining traction as an interesting labour policy in industrialized societies, praised for its numerous benefits across various domains. Although several countries worldwide have successfully initiated trials for shorter workweeks, Belgium appears to be adopting this policy at a slower pace, with only a few trials conducted over the past two decades. This is particularly noteworthy ...
