How to make intelligibility measurements intelligible? A methodological study extending the framework of comparative judgement. University of Antwerp
The dynamic musculoskeletal profile: an integrated framework for a safer and healthier exercising. KU Leuven
Regular physical activity, fitness, and exercise are critically important for the health and well being of people of all ages. However, in many cases any health benefit caused by physical activity is lost because of a serious musculoskeletal injury. The aim of this research is to develop a new framework expanding current methodologies in human movement analysis, in−vivo musculoskeletal strength testing and medical imaging. This framework will ...

Linking microbial community assembly with functionality in lab-scale anaerobic digestion bioreactors: a replicate experimental approach KU Leuven
Anaerobic digestion (AD) is the microbiological conversion of organic material under anaerobic conditions, leading to the formation of biomass, biogas and a nutrient rich digestate. The process is gaining an increasing interest because of its potential for simultaneous waste stabilisation and valorisation. Using AD, methane-rich biogas as well as valuable chemicals and a nutrient-rich residue can be produced from organic material in solid ...
Smart Docking: innovation for continuous monitoring of vessel's motions at berth. University of Antwerp
Capturing the complexity of integrated energy systems through model linking KU Leuven
This research aims to develop a more efficient and effective way to plan and manage the integration of variable renewable energy sources (VRES) into the power grid. The approach involves developing a multi-sectoral unit commitment and energy dispatch (UCED) model, which optimally dispatches all cross-sectoral and power generation technologies and preallocates the state of charge of all storage technologies to ensure a reliable and ...
Linearization Methods for Eigenvalue Problems with Eigenvector Nonlinearities KU Leuven
One of the core elements of every engineer's toolbox is matrix eigenvalue analysis. The availability of fast and reliable solvers makes the linear eigenvalue problem a popular analysis tool for many applications such as vibration analysis for building stability, data science, and the PageRank algorithm for ranking web pages in search engine results. For more complex applications, the eigenvalue problem has been extended to incorporate ...
Beyond the p-value: improving the balance between sensitivity and specificity for functional localization in fMRI data Ghent University
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), a non-invasive technique to capture brain
activity, is getting increasingly important in psychological research. Nowadays, instead of the whole brain, researchers are particularly interested in the activation pattern of very specific brain regions of interest (ROI). So-called localizer tasks, executed after the main task of interest, are used to define functional ROIs (fROIs) in each subject ...
A follow-up study on cognitive, behavioural and emotional functioning of school-aged children at increased risk of autism spectrum disorder Ghent University
The current project addresses school-age outcomes of prospectively followed children at increased
risk of autism spectrum disorder. Besides stability and reliability of early diagnosis and IQ, multiinformant
measures of depression and anxiety, adaptive and challenging behaviour, self-perception,
peer relations, self-control and quality of life will be investigated. Furthermore, we’ll attempt to
detect early markers of ...
