Case study of an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) for waste heat recovery from an Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) Universiteit Gent
The organic Rankine cycle (ORC) is a mature technology for the conversion of waste heat to electricity. Although many energy intensive industries could benefit significantly from the integration of ORC technology, its current adoption rate is limited. One important reason for this arises from the difficulty of prospective investors and end-users to recognize and, ultimately, realise the potential energy savings from such deployment. In recent ...
Investigation of 3D TRC's by Means of Three Point Bending Tests on Short Beam Specimens Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Textile reinforced cements (TRC), combining a cementitious matrix with fibre textiles, are a well-researched subject in literature. The material offers several advantages such as the design of low-weight, slender structures. However, one of the main drawbacks of this composite material is the time consuming manufacturing process using two dimensional fibre textiles. Three dimensional
fibre textile architectures offer a solution to this ...

Brittle tectonic and stress field evolution in the Pan-African Lufilian arc and its foreland (Katanga, DRC): from orogenic compression to extensional collapse, transpressional inversion and transition to rifting KU Leuven
Since the first and paroxysmal deformation stages of the Lufilian orogeny at ~ 550 Ma and the late Neogene to Quaternary development of the south-western branch of the East African rift system, the tectonic evolution of the Lufilian arc and Kundelungu foreland in the Katanga region of the Democratic Republic of Congo remains poorly known although it caused important Cu-dominated mineral remobilizations leading to world-class ore deposits. This ...

Sustainable gas conversion by gliding arc plasmas Universiteit Antwerpen
Research in plasma reactor designs is developing rapidly as plasma technology is gaining increasing interest for sustainable gas conversion applications, like the conversion of greenhouse gases into value-added chemicals and renewable fuels, and fixation of N-2 from air into precursors of mineral fertilizer. As plasma is generated by electric power and can easily be switched on/off, these applications allows for efficient conversion and energy ...
The arc-scale spatial distribution of volcano erosion implies coupled magmatism and regional climate in the Cascades arc, United States Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The morphology and distribution of volcanic edifices in volcanic terrains encodes the structure and evolution of underlying magma transport as well as surface processes that shape landforms. How magmatic construction and erosion interact on long timescales to sculpt these landscapes, however, remains poorly resolved. In the Cascades arc, distributed volcanic edifices mirror long-wavelength topography associated with underlying crustal magmatism ...
Tec kinase stimulates cell survival in transfected Hek293T cells and is regulated by the anti-apoptotic growth factor IGF-I in human neutrophils Vrije Universiteit Brussel
OBJECTIVE: Previously, we showed that the phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI3K) pathway mediates the anti-apoptotic effects of IGF-I in human neutrophils independently of its down-stream target Akt. In this study, we investigated whether IGF-I regulates Tec kinase, an alternative down-stream target of PI3K, in neutrophils and whether this molecule is able to affect apoptosis.
DESIGN: We investigated the translocation of Tec kinases in ...

TEC, Trigger and Check, preparing LOFAR for Lunar observations Vrije Universiteit Brussel
One of the main ways to use radio to detect Ultra High Energy Neutrinos and Cosmic Rays is the Lunar Askaryan technique, that uses the Moon as a target and searches for nanosecond pulses with large radio telescopes. To use low frequency aperture arrays, such as LOFAR and the SKA, pose new challenges and possibilities in detection techniques of short radio pulses and to measure the Total Electron Content (TEC). As a prepatory work, we have used ...
Organic rankine cycle part-load characterization: validated models of an 11 kWe waste heat recovery ORC Universiteit Gent
The organic Rankine cycle (ORC) is a mature technology for converting low temperature heat to electricity. However before large scale adoption in waste heat recovery applications is attained companies need to be convinced of the benefits. Considering the appraisal of an ORC project is mainly motivated by the financial gain, an accurate prediction of the power output is essential. Yet, when considering waste heat valorisation, the majority of ...
