Uncontrolled eating in healthy women has limited influence on food cue reactivity and food-related inhibitory control Universiteit Gent
Uncontrolled eating-in the general population-is characterized by overeating, hedonic hunger and being drawn towards palatable foods. Theoretically, it is the result of a strong food reward signal in relation to a poor ability to exert inhibitory control. How food consumption influences inhibitory control and food cue sensitivity, and how this relates to the continued urge to eat, remains unclear. We used fMRI in order to investigate the neural ...
Nest gasses as a potential attraction cue for biting flying insects and other ectoparasites of cavity nesting birds Universiteit Antwerpen
The presence of nestlings and other nest dwelling organisms in cavity nests alters the composition of gasses inside the cavity. Differential concentrations of gasses could be used by some parasites as a cue to localize their hosts. Here, we explored temporal variation in the concentration and isotopic signature of carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) inside nest boxes of blue tits (Cyanistes caeruleus) during the nestling period (on days 3, 8, ...
Can Buy Me Love: How Mating Cues Influence Single Men's Interest in High-Status Consumer Goods Universiteit Gent
This paper examines how variation in goal motivation affects menU+2019s interest in high-status products in a mating environment. In two experiments we demonstrate that men display a higher interest in high-status products after seeing pictures of sexily, rather than plainly, dressed women (study 1) and more readily noticed high-status products in visual displays when a nearby female was sexily, rather than plainly, dressed (study 2). The ...

Evaluation of the additional loss due to supply voltage distortion in relation to induction motor efficiency rating Universiteit Gent
Distortion of the supply voltage undoubtedly reduces the overall energy efficiency of induction motors. The goal of this paper is to evaluate additional harmonic losses in relation to the machine's initial efficiency rating. However, due to the relatively small amount of additional loss, the main drawback when evaluating the effect of supply voltage distortion on the machines' overall efficiency is the measurement accuracy of the current ...
How reliable are left ventricular ejection fraction cut offs assessed by echocardiography for clinical decision making in patients with heart failure? KU Leuven
We aimed to study the potential influence of the variability in the assessment of echocardiographically measured left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) on indications for the implantation of internal cardioverter defibrillator and/or cardiac resynchronization devices in heart failure patients. TIME-CHF was a multicenter trial comparing NT-BNP versus symptom-guided therapy in patients aged ≥60 years. Patients had their LVEF assessed at the ...
