BITSHARE: Bitstringsemantiek voor Menselijk en Artificieel Redeneren KU Leuven
Differentiële informatie zoeken en verwerken KU Leuven
Het publieke debat wordt geconfronteerd met een ernstige informatiecrisis. Terwijl democratisch overleg wordt bedreigd door te simplistische populistische oplossingen voor maatschappelijke problemen, wordt wetenschappelijk bewijs steeds meer op de proef gesteld door openbare discussies over epistemische onzekerheid, en het vertrouwen in informatie die door de nieuwsmedia wordt verstrekt, wordt voortdurend in gevaar gebracht door ze als ...
De Vooruitzichten van de Publieke Rede KU Leuven

ChOLLATERAL: Genereren van een netwerk van ongunstige uitkomstroutes op cholestatische leverbeschadiging voor op mechanismen gebaseerde in-vitrotesten van chemicaliën. Vrije Universiteit Brussel

A solution lies in better understanding the mechanisms of DICI. A pragmatic tool to visually and rationally capture the ...
Beethoven and his Foreign Pianos: Declassifying the Classics - Project One Orpheus Instituut
This project, on the contrary, takes historical technology as point of departure for the study of Beethoven’s art. It challenges, furthermore, a notion promoted by Newman (1988) and reinforced through a complete recording of Beethoven’s piano sonatas by Bilson, Beghin et al. (1997) that Beethoven remained “true to his Viennese pianos and pianism.” We instead make Beethoven’s two “foreign” pianos the focal points of our study, while ...
