Enforcing human rights through private international law in transnational corporate civil liability cases Ghent University
Extraterritorial human rights violations by corporations have led to a growing trend of transnational corporate civil liability cases. When a corporation is held liable for harm arising from human rights abuse abroad, the under-researched question of cross-border recognition and enforcement of judgments arises. This study aims to fill this research gap.

Looking for Stability: Advances on Spectrum-based Stability and Stabilization of Uncertain Linear Time-delay Systems KU Leuven
Time-delay systems model widespread phenomena, ranging from life sciences and economics to natural sciences and engineering. We focus on linear time-delay systems of time-invariant and periodic type, whose stability properties can be inferred from the spectrum of infinite-dimensional operators. Indeed, the asymptotic growth or decay rate of the solutions towards zero can be determined by the spectral radius of the monodromy operator, or the ...
Determining sample requirements for modeling and reporting (stability of) school value-added estimates: sample size, inter-school student mobility and sample heterogeneity KU Leuven
Determining sample requirements for modeling and reporting (stability of) school value-added estimates: sample size, inter-school student mobility and sample heterogeneity KU Leuven
Within the context of school accountability systems, many countries use value added (VA)-estimates as indicators of the educational quality or effectiveness of their schools. A fundamental issue in this field is the (in)stability of VA estimates across time, i.e., the extent to which school effects persist over successive cohorts of students. VA-estimates are less stable, i.e., less reliable, especially for primary schools and for schools ...
Bridging materials engineering and dentistry: tooth-enamel inspired reliable ceramics for dental applications KU Leuven
Advanced ceramics have exceptional functional and structural properties for high-performance applications, like thermal barrier coatings in turbine engines, solid oxide electrolytes in fuel cells, and biomedical implants for hip and tooth replacements. In the dental field, the superior biocompatibility and natural tooth-like appearance make ceramics favorable over metal-based systems. However, the long-standing issue of ceramics, being ...
