Operational CFD Model for impact analysis on spatial interventions to improve urban ventilation. University of Antwerp
Spatial inattention and motor functioning after stroke: An in-depth analysis of the impact of visuospatial neglect on motor recovery. University of Antwerp
An analysis of the mechanisms underlying the impact of polycentric spatial structure on the economic efficiency of urban agglomerations Ghent University
‘Urban polycentricity’ is a key concept in geographical research, although its meaning and benefits often remain unclear. This research will conduct empirical analyses on changes in polycentric structures in urban agglomerations across China. We will compare their degree of polycentricity, integration and dispersion, and apply spatial-econometric methods to explore
their relationships in explaining spatial differences in economic ...
The performative construction of episcopal authority in eleventh-century Lotharingia: towards an integrated analysis of speech acts, ritual behaviour and spatial representation. Ghent University
This project will offer the first comprehensive and comparative analysis of the use of speech acts, ritual acts and spatial arrangements in the construction of episcopal authority in the ‘long eleventh century’ (roughly 980–1120).
Isntitutional and spatial analysis of water sharing mechanism of a river basin in India Ghent University
Objectives are to analyze existing water governance structure, political choice of sharing mechanism and the spatial distribution pattern of irrigation water, valuate property rights and to devleop a Spatio-Temporal model for water sharing for efficient sharing. Here water institutions, space-time interactions and water pricing are used in modeling of water sharing (bayesian modeling) and political economy models for water governance.
Special solution techniques for systems of partial differential operators in Clifford analysis Ghent University
In our project we plan to investigate several fundamental equations in Clifford analysis from a group theoretical point of view, studying the invariance of those equations (and thus also the solutions) under the action of (subgroups of) the orthogonal or unitary group (spin groups). This will lead to systems of PDEs with variable coefficients defined in lower dimensions, the standard example being the Vekua system in the plane. We also intend ...
Development and analysis of spatially explicit models of biological processes. Ghent University
Even though spatially explicit models have become more widely appreciated, there is still no framework that allows for their systematic analysis, calibration and validation. Hence, the main objective of this project is to establish such a framework starting from the first steps already taken in this direction and involving equation-free methods, approximate Bayesian computation and dynamical system measures.
Analysis and Partial Differential Equations Ghent University
The analysis of partial differential equations (PDEs) occupies a central place among a wide range of sciences. Processes of evolution or static models, starting from the groundbreaking works of Isaac Newton, are described by PDEs of different types. The project aims at pursuing their mathematical analysis: frame decompositions, noncommutative analysis, equations with singularities, evolution PDEs, fractional analysis and inverse problems.
Theoretical and numerical analysis of inverse problems in evolutionary partial differential equations Ghent University
The aim of this project is a theoretical and numerical study of inverse problems for nonlinear
evolution equations of parabolic and hyperbolic type. The added value relies on the
development of new robust and efficient numerical techniques for inverse problems
containing nonlocal terms.
