DNA elasticity, beyond the linear regime KU Leuven
For the purpose of research into the structure and function of DNA knowledge and understanding of its mechanical properties are necessary. Past studies have indicated That a good description of DNA on the scale of thousands of base-pairs is given by a continuous, inextensible flexible rod model often called the twistable worm-like chain (TWLC). More recent studies however have also shown that on short length scales DNA is more flexible than ...

Development of an imaging system, for videorate superresolution imaging KU Leuven
Fluorescence microscopy is a valued tool in the life and material sciences to visualize and interpret interactions on a micro- and nanoscale level. It has led to many discoveries and is continuously improving in terms of spatial and
temporal resolution, imaging speed of large samples and the amount of information that can be retrieved from raw data. In this work we sought to improve (super-resolution) fluorescence imaging, through the ...
Micro-macro acceleration and multilevel Monte Carlo methods for kinetic equations KU Leuven
Since the 1960's people have made regular claims to the effect of: "A working nuclear fusion reactor is 20 years away!" This persistent underestimaton of the challenges in the way of building a working fusion reactor can be explained by the following dichotomy between theory and practice: On the one hand, the physical reaction is, in principle, quite simple, i.e., heat hydrogen gas to the point where it ionizes and the ions collide with ...

The role of armed conflicts in the phenomenon of street children in Eastern DRCongo Ghent University
Worldwide, millions of children are involved in street life. Although there is some evidence on the causes of this involvement, little is known on the role of armed conflicts in the phenomenon of street children. This study aims to gain insight into the role of armed conflicts in the dynamics of street life involvement of children in (post-
)conflict contexts. Hereto, four studies will be executed in the (post-)conflict context of ...
