The ADAPT-r ITN aims to significantly increase European research capacity through a unique and ground-breaking research model: at its core is the development of a robust and sustainable ITN in an emergent Supra-Disciplinary field of research across a range of design and arts disciplines – creative practice research. ADAPT-r will train new researchers, increase supervisory capacity, partner with private sector SMEs in research projects ...

Social-communicative abilities are important intervention goals for children with ASD. Research shows that interventions targeting these abilities should be intensive and should promote generalization of learnt skills. Parents and teachers are ideal intervention agents to stimulate social-communicative abilities in a natural context. Moreover, training natural interaction partners provides a cost-effective alternative to intensive one-on-one ...

The “NDTonAIR” consortium involves Universities, Research Organisations and major European companies working on new Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) and Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) techniques for aerospace, of which both are key technologies. The goal is to train a new generation of scientists and engineers with a wide background of theoretical and experimental skills, capable of developing their research and entrepreneurial activities ...

SUMMARY

Histology studies microscopic tissue appearance and properties.

Histology analysis is used to study disease at the cellular level. This analysis happens through microscopic examination of tissue sections,

thin slices of tissue that were obtained from biopsies, mounted on a microscope slide, and made visible using a specific dye. Digital imaging allows individual microscopic structures, ...

This PhD project focuses on the development of innovative potential employees. Under innovation potential we understand the necessary knowledge to innovation processes to a successful conclusion. This knowledge can be divided into explicit (declarative) knowledge and implicit (procedural) knowledge (Polanyi, 1958). In this respect, focus existing forms of training in organizations on the development of explicit knowledge. After all, this is ...

The EU has set ambitious goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to combat climate change. The transport sector is a major contributor to these emissions, but the targets for this sector cannot be met with currently available materials technology. Due to the direct link between weight and energy consumption, EU investment in advancing lightweight technologies is crucial. Therefore, fibre-reinforced composites are a key technology, but they ...

Background and rationale

The first part of this PhD focuses on renal perfusion. Key to each successful RAPN, is a profound knowledge of the patient-specific vascular anatomy. The anatomy can be readily appreciated and interpreted through the use of 3D models. Recent studies state that surgeries using a patient-specific 3D model show a reduction in operative time, estimated blood loss, clamp time and length of hospital stay ...
