Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors as flatness and mechanical stretching sensors KU Leuven Universiteit Gent
Fuse-like devices replacing linear sensors - working examples of percolation sensors in operational airliners and chemical installations KU Leuven
© 2016 Taylor & Francis Group, London. In order to detect diverse failure modes and damage sizes, sensors in traditional Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) for aircraft and other engineering structures usually work in a quasi-linear mode. Therefore, also when used in a Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) system, their performance is limited by operation-dependent baseline variations as well as by signal interference in complicated structures. ...
Malaria vectors in the Mekong countries: a complex interaction between vectors, environment and human behaviour Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
From Surface Plasmon Resonance Based Sensors to Carbon Nanotube Based Sensors (Van oppervlakte plasmon resonantie gebaseerde sensoren tot koolstof nanobuis gebaseerde sensoren) KU Leuven
Next generation sensing devices require significant improvements to satisfy the needs of a wide variety of applications in terms of sensitivity, specificity, cost, compactness, reliability and capacity of real-time measurements. Between the various types of sensors that may offer such characteristics two are of particular interest: sensors based on surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and sensors based on carbon nanotubes (CNTs).The first part of ...
Guidelines for the characterization and use of fibre optic sensors – Basic definitions & a proposed standard for FBG-based strain sensors Vrije Universiteit Brussel
This paper describes the outcome of two groups which are involved in the specification of guidelines for fibre optic sensors performance and testing. The "Guideline for use of fibre optic sensors" from the COST-299 guideline group, and the "Optical Strain Sensor based on Fibre Bragg Grating" from the GESA guideline group of the VDI - "The Association of German Engineers". Through appropriate specifications and definitions, both guidelines aim at ...
Mentorschap: van toevallige passagier naar co-piloot? Begeleiding en beoordeling van toekomstige leerkrachten door mentoren. Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Dit onderzoek heeft tot doel via semigestructureerde interviews (N=38) de verwachtingen over de rol van de mentor in de begeleiding en beoordeling van toekomstige leraren tijdens de praktijkstage in kaart te brengen vanuit het perspectief van de mentor en dat van de stagebegeleider. Resultaten geven aan dat mentorschap wordt ingegeven door twee bestaansredenen: ervaring als leerkracht en deskundigheid als begeleider. Beide factoren spelen een ...
Adoption of new HIV treatment guidelines and drug substitutions within first-line as a measure of quality of care in rural Lesotho: health centers and hospitals compared Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
Objective: In 2007, Lesotho launched new national antiretroviral treatment (ART) guidelines, prioritising tenofovir and zidovudine over stavudine as a backbone together with lamivudine. We compared the rate of adoption of these new guidelines and substitution of first-line drugs by health centers (HC) and hospitals in two catchment areas in rural Lesotho. Methods: Retrospective cohort analysis. Patients aged >/=16 years were stratified into a ...
Bullying and sexting in social networks: Protecting minors from criminal acts or empowering minors to cope with risky behaviour? KU Leuven Universiteit Gent
The availability and use of social networking sites creates both opportunities and risks for their young users. This article evaluates the applicability of the current legal framework to (cyber)bullying and sexting, two types of (potentially harmful) behaviour that are increasingly occurring between peers in the social networking environment. The analysis includes a mapping of applicable legislative provisions at the European and national level, ...
