Ontwikkeling van snelle beeldtechnieken voor de karakterisatie van spuitnevels Instituut voor Landbouw-, Visserij- en Voedingsonderzoek
In dit onderzoek ontwikkelt ILVO technieken van snelle beeldacquisitie en –verwerking voor de beoordeling van spuitnevels van gewasbeschermingsmiddelen. Het is de bedoeling om zo nauwkeuriger en op een niet-intrusieve manier het volledige spuitproces te karakteriseren. ILVO stelt vast dat de bestaande technieken onvoldoende houvast bieden. De karakteristieken van de spuitnevels hebben een ...
Zoeken naar de oorsprong van kosmische straling en neutrino's met LOFAR Vrije Universiteit Brussel
It is generally believed that ultra-high-energy cosmic rays are produced in extragalactic sources like gamma- ray bursts or active galactic nuclei, while the lower energy cosmic rays come from our own Galaxy. At what energy this transition takes ...
Elastische metamateriaal-ondersteunde technieken voor het meten van aërodynamische impulsen KU Leuven
Wind tunnels play an important role in the early era of developing high-speed aircrafts. And reproducing high-speed flight conditions above Mach 8 on the ground is usually restricted to impulse wind tunnels, whose test time lasts only several milliseconds. However conventional force measurement techniques requires a longer time. Aerodynamic force measurement in such a short time is a great challenge, since measuring aerodynamic forces is ...
Laserionisatie en spectroscopie van Actinide-elementen KU Leuven
LISA aims to train the next generation of atomic, nuclear and laser scientists by conducting research to increase our understanding of the atomic and nuclear properties of the chemical elements known as the actinides. Of long-standing interest to the fields of fundamental atomic and nuclear physics, this effort is an essential prerequisite for unravelling the structure of the superheavy elements at the end of Mendeleev’s table. This knowledge ...
Ontwikkeling van een remote sensing-techniek voor druppeltjes en deeltjes in de lucht met behulp van glory en spikkelpatronen Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Single Cell Interfacing op Chip: Evaluatie van elektrische en fotonische methoden KU Leuven
Akoestische en thermische renovatie van kantoorgebouwen in de EU KU Leuven
The objective of ActaReBuild is to provide high-level training of Doctoral Candidates in retrofit of office building stock in Europe by means a new generation of sustainable materials and building components. In particular, they will learn how to improve and guarantee acoustic and thermal performance of buildings that undergo renovation processes, while minimizing the embodied carbon production.
The training offered to 10 Doctoral ...
Hoogwaardige procesketens voor de massaproductie van functionele gestructureerde oppervlakken KU Leuven
The ProSurf project aims to enhance the surface functionalities of six demonstrator parts by using a wide range of high precision manufacturing technologies, such as diamond machining techniques, enabling the mass production of cost effective, structured parts with accurate replication technolo-gies, like micro injection moulding. By implementing these technologies to manufacture a variety of benefiting functionalities, it is critical to ...
Stralingsverval Studie van het laaggelegen thorium-229 isomeer KU Leuven
The existence of a low-lying nuclear isomer of thorium-229 at 8.28 eV was suggested several decades ago but was only recently identified via the observation of its decay signal. The low energy and an estimated relative decay width of around 10^{-19} open new possibilities for the development of a nuclear frequency standard-a nuclear clock, which can outperform the existing atomic clocks. This will have far-reaching consequences, such as in ...
