The presence of central sensitization in the continuum of migraine : a case control study Universiteit Gent
Nonlinear predictive control of processes with variable time delay: a temperature control case study Universiteit Gent
Material or fluid transportation is a commonly encountered phenomenon in industrial applications, generating variable time delay that makes the design of feedback control loops more difficult. This paper investigates the applicability of MPC (Model Predictive Control) strategies to this type of processes. The experimental setup consists of a heated tank, of which the outlet temperature (measured at a certain distance from the tank) is controlled ...
Online model predictive control of industrial processes using low level control hardware: a pilot-scale distillation column case study KU Leuven
Throughout the years, the computing power of industrial controllers has steadily increased. Together with the development of efficient quadratic program (QP) solvers, this raises the question whether these devices can host an online model predictive controller (MPC). The applicability of online MPC is investigated using a programmable automation controller (PAC) and a programmable logic controller (PLC) for the control of an industrially ...
Onchocerca volvulus as a risk factor for developing epilepsy in onchocerciasis endemic regions in the Democratic Republic of Congo: a case control study Universiteit Hasselt Universiteit Antwerpen
Background: A high prevalence of epilepsy has been observed in onchocerciasis endemic areas in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). With this study we aimed to investigate whether Onchocerca volvulus infection is a risk factor for developing epilepsy in onchocerciasis endemic regions in the DRC. Methods: Between October and December 2015, a multi-centre case control study was performed in onchocerciasis endemic health zones (HZ) in the DRC: ...
The interface between the national tuberculosis control programme and district hospitals in Cameroon: missed opportunities for strengthening the local health system -a multiple case study Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
BACKGROUND: Tuberculosis remains a major public health problem in sub-Saharan Africa. District hospitals (DHs) play a central role in district-based health systems, and their relation with vertical programmes is very important. Studies on the impact of vertical programmes on DHs are rare. This study aims to fill this gap. Its purpose is to analyse the interaction between the National Tuberculosis Control Programme (NTCP) and DHs in Cameroon, ...
Multivariate statistical process control in product quality review assessment – A case study Vrije Universiteit Brussel
According to the Food and Drug Administration and the European Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) guidelines, Annual Product Review (APR) is a mandatory requirement in GMP. It consists of evaluating a large collection of qualitative or quantitative data in order to verify the consistency of an existing process. According to the Code of Federal Regulation Part 11 (21 CFR 211.180), all finished products should be reviewed annually for the ...
Physics-based simulations to predict the differential effects of motor control and musculoskeletal deficits on gait dysfunction in cerebral palsy : a retrospective case study Universiteit Gent Universiteit Antwerpen KU Leuven
Process Mining of event logs: a case study evaluating internal control effectiveness Universiteit Hasselt
Unlike traditional audit techniques, process mining of event logs provides a new aspect for auditing by tracking and capturing every single routing in the dataset. This paper aims at adopting process mining to evaluate the effectiveness of internal control using a real-life event log from a large European bank. Specifically, the evaluation is based on the full population of event logs and contains four analyses: (1) variant analysis that ...
Fragmented Capital and (the Loss of) Control over Posted Workers: A Case Study in the Belgian Meat Industry Universiteit Hasselt
Based on the case of a Belgian meat processing company that relies on posted workers employed by two subcontractors, this study investigates how posting affects client capital's ability to control labour. Analysed through a Labour Process Theory lens, the findings reveal that posting fragments capital and substantially reduces the client firm's control over workers' effort and mobility power. This is due to the low-cost, temporary nature of ...
