Evaluation of characterization models for the photochemical smog impact category focused on the Brazilian reality = Avaliação de modelos de caracterização para a categoria de impacto smog fotoquÃmico voltada à realidade brasileira = Evaluación de modelos Universiteit Gent
The Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA) is composed of characterization models, and in Brazil, the methodological and scientific LCIA framework is still under development. The research’s aim was to evaluate the literature available characterization models to photochemical smog category. Thus, the contribution of work is recommending one of these models to be used in Brazilian LCA studies, standardizing the studies in Brazil. The methodology ...
Evaluation of Circular Construction Works During Design Phase: An Overview of Valuation Tools KU Leuven
The construction industry is one of the largest producers of waste. The Circular Economy Action Plan of the EU aims to tackle this issue and aspires to enhance the sustainability of the construction industry by adopting more circular principles and bio-based material use. For this purpose, an approach is being developed that facilitates coherence between technical, economical, legal, social aspects, and business models for circular design and ...
Policy evaluation (in)activity unravelled. A configurational analysis of the incidence, number, locus and quality of policy evaluations in the Flemish public sector KU Leuven
Despite a general and increased consensus about the intrinsic value of policy evaluation for professional government, we can observe large variety in evaluation activity across public sector organizations. In explaining this variance, the evaluation literature offers fragmented insights only. This study aims to fill this void. We examine which combinations of conditions explain policy evaluation (in)activity.By focusing on the Flemish public ...
Explaining use and non-use of policy evaluations in a mature evaluation setting KU Leuven
Governments worldwide have intensified their efforts to institutionalize policy evaluation. Still, also in organizations with high evaluation maturity, the use of evaluations is not self-evident. As mature organizations already meet many of the factors that are commonly seen to foster evaluation use, they constitute an interesting research setting to identify (combinations of) factors that can make a key difference in minimizing research waste. ...
Geography, structure, and evolution of diffusion and perfusion lesions in Diffusion and perfusion imaging Evaluation For Understanding Stroke Evolution (DEFUSE) KU Leuven
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The classical representation of acute ischemic lesions on MRI is a central diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) lesion embedded in a perfusion-weighted imaging (PWI) lesion. We investigated spatial relationships between final infarcts and early DWI/PWI lesions before and after intravenous thrombolysis in the Diffusion and perfusion imaging Evaluation For Understanding Stroke Evolution (DEFUSE) study. METHODS: Baseline and ...
Languages of Beauty and Languages of Ugly. The Aesthetic Valuation and Devaluation of Architecture Made by Architects, City Officials and Activists KU Leuven
In this exploratory paper I examine the differences in how city bureaucrats, architects and activists talk, value, devalue and create urban aesthetics. While the existing literature on urban aesthetics focuses mostly on the commodification processes of urban designs, I question the very process of talking about aesthetics and its relation to the professional and political positions of various actors involved in the creation of urban space and ...
Standardized evaluation methodology and reference database for evaluating IVUS image segmentation Vrije Universiteit Brussel
This paper describes an evaluation framework that allows a standardized and quantitative comparison of IVUS lumen and media segmentation algorithms. This framework has been introduced at the MICCAI 2011 Computing and Visualization for (Intra)Vascular Imaging (CVII) workshop, comparing the results of eight teams that participated.
We describe the available data-base comprising of multi-center, multi-vendor and multi-frequency IVUS ...
