Statistical analysis of durability tests, part 1: principles of distribution fitting and application on laboratory tests Universiteit Gent
Service life prediction is an important topic in wood research, especially with regard to the Construction Products Regulation (CPR). Both laboratory tests as well as in-service performance testing are therefore essential in combination with proper monitoring and analysis tools. A crucial concept is variability in testing and analysis, especially for a biological material such as wood. The larger the sample size the more representative this is ...
Quantification of brake creep groan in vehicle tests and its relation with stickU+2013slip obtained in laboratory tests Universiteit Gent
Basal reinforced piled embankments in the Netherlands, Field studies and laboratory tests Universiteit Gent
In 2010, several European countries (Germany, Britain and the Netherlands), published a new or a revised design guideline for the design of piled embankments. France will follow in 2012. Both the Dutch (CUR226) and the German design guideline (EBGEO chapter 9) based their design calculations (for the vertical load) for the geosynthetic reinforcement on ZaeskeU+2019s model (2001). This model consists of two calculation steps: (1) the load ...
First large scale application with self-healing concrete in Belgium : analysis of the laboratory control tests Universiteit Gent KU Leuven
Due to the negative impact of construction processes on the environment and a decrease in investments, there is a need for concrete structures to operate longer while maintaining their high performance. Self-healing concrete has the ability to heal itself when it is cracked, thereby protecting the interior matrix as well as the reinforcement steel, resulting in an increased service life. Most research has focused on mortar specimens at ...
The new IVD Regulation 2017/746: a case study at a large university hospital laboratory in Belgium demonstrates the need for clarification on the degrees of freedom laboratories have to use lab-developed tests to improve patient care KU Leuven
OBJECTIVES: The new European In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) Regulation 2017/746 (IVDR) restricts the use of lab-developed tests (LDT) after 26th May 2022. There are no data on the impact of the IVDR on laboratories in the European Union. METHODS: Laboratory tests performed in UZ Leuven were divided in four groups: core laboratory, immunology, special chemistry, and molecular microbiology testing. Each test was classified as Conformité Européenne ...
Activity-based cost analysis of laboratory tests in clinical chemistry Vrije Universiteit Brussel KU Leuven
OBJECTIVES: Since health care budgets are limited and must be allocated efficiently, there is an economic pressure to reduce the costs of health care interventions. This study aims to investigate the cost of testing within a Clinical Chemistry laboratory.
METHODS: This study was conducted in the Clinical Chemistry laboratory of the University Hospital UZ Brussel, Belgium, in which 156 tests were included and an average cost per test ...
