Products in disguise : communicating product benefits with surface mimicry Universiteit Gent
In an effort to find a novel way to enhance the attractiveness of healthy food, this article proposes surface mimicry-that is, designing a product to visually resemble another product-as an effective intervention to communicate property information to consumers. Specifically, it advances the notion that exposure to surface mimicry primes property mapping, a thinking style that leads consumers to transfer property information from one product ...
Why should I (show) care for products? An inquiry about drivers and consequences of product care Universiteit Gent
Quantification of the effect of process, product and storage conditions on the spoilage risk of pasteurized fruit based products by Heat-Resistant Moulds (HRMs) Universiteit Gent
The effect of the designer’s approach on the perceived product quality: an exploratory case study of tangible products KU Leuven
Nowadays people tend to value attachment, meaning and experience more than owning even more products. This challenges designers to create products that incorporate more meaning and experience. These kind of products could create a better attachment between user and product, longer use of products and as a consequence less waste. Knowing which steps, methods and tools and other ‘components in the design process’ have an effect on the user ...
Towards a solution for change impact analysis of software product line products KU Leuven
Despite the fact that some practitioners and researchers report successful stories on Software Product Lines (SPL) adaptation, the evolution of SPL remains challenging. In our research we study a specific aspect of SPL adaptation, namely on updating of deployed products. Our particular focus is on the correct execution of updates and minimal interruption of services during the updates. The update process has two stages. First, the products ...
Process and product design: Tools to optimise the lycopene bioaccessibility of tomato-based food products KU Leuven
Lately, lycopene has attracted positive attention originating from the studies which suggest a possible inverse correlation between the consumption of lycopene rich foods and the risk of chronic diseases. Tomatoes are the major dietary source for lycopene. Furthermore, they are one of the most grown crops for processing. Industrial processing of tomatoes into different end-products includes mechanical treatments, several thermal treatment steps, ...
Carotenoid bioaccessibility in fruit- and vegetable-based food products as affected by product (micro)structural characteristics and the presence of lipids: a review KU Leuven
Carotenoids are important micronutrients and specific health benefits have been associated with the consumption of food products rich in carotenoids such as fruits and vegetables. However, given their hydrophobic character, the uptake of carotenoids from food products is generally quite low. The present review summarises recent studies on fruits and vegetables in which specific product characteristics, i.e. (micro)structural characteristics and ...
Automatically Characterizing Products through Product Aspects KU Leuven
Like most front-end design and problem solving methodologies, TRIZ requires users to abstract their specific system or problem, analyze it through the methodology, and, if applicable, map it back to a specific situation. A methodology and algorithm are proposed that can eliminate this subjective and arduous mapping by formalizing automatically identified, fine-grained product dimensions or Product Aspects. These Product Aspects allow for ...
