Assessment of exposure to diisocyanates and safety management in industries KU Leuven
Diisocyanates have risen in global productions and they are used in diverse industries. Diisocyanates are an important cause of occupational asthma and increase the risk of occupational asthma. Workers come into contact with diisocyanates by dermal and inhalation exposure and this can be under the form of the particles, vapour, or aerosol, depending on the type of diisocyanates used and the process for which it is used. Moreover, skin contact ...

Agricultural development, technology and value chains in developing and transition countries. KU Leuven
This thesis is about agricultural development, technology adoption and value chains in developing countries. It first focuses on the transition economies of Central Asia, and Central and Eastern Europe before exploring the dairy market in India. Though they display great heterogeneity, what joins these two regions is a strong dependency on their respective agricultural sectors to alleviate poverty and maintain food security.
The first ...

On the long-term footprint of pediatric critical illness and how this is affected by acute macronutrient restriction KU Leuven
Children are admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) when they acutely need vital organ support to avoid imminent death. Although most of the children need intensive care for only a few days and most of them seemingly recover well from the acute insult, many of them are confronted with long-term consequences after critical illness as observed years after hospital discharge. This legacy, which remains largely unexplained, broadly ...
Software Strategies to Improve Immunity of Programmable Embedded Systems against Disturbances KU Leuven
Programmable Embedded Systems form the cornerstone for the rising challenges in the next industrial revolution of cyber physical systems where everything gets connected, data is interchanged and decisions are made by programmable controllers. Application areas are mobility, manufacturing, smart energy consumers, health and elderly care. This implies a more frequent use of such systems in applications requiring high reliability in harsh ...
