Spectroscopie van exotische kernen met een magnetische actieve trefschijf. KU Leuven
Our knowledge about the nuclei at the centre of atoms was based for a long time on the information collected on the few stable nuclei existing in nature. In recent years, however, nuclei far from stability (with an excess of protons or neutrons) have become accessible at large accelerator facilities. Their study has revealed truly exotic properties (unexpected shapes, new decay modes, and others) that challenge our understanding of their ...
Multi-terminaal DC-net voor offshore wind. KU Leuven
A DC grid based on multi-terminal voltage-source converter is a newly emerging technology, which is particularly suitable for the connection of offshore wind farms. Multi-terminal DC grids will be the key technology for the European offshore SuperGrid.
In this proposal, DC power flow, DC relaying protection, steady state operation, dynamic stability, fault-ride through capability, and impacts of DC grids on the operation of AC grids and ...
Modular Development Plan of the Pan-European Transmission System 2050. KU Leuven
Eight Transmission System Operators (BE, CZ, FR, DE, IT, PT, CH, PL) and ENTSO-E, together with 4 associations of technology manufacturers, and 16 RTD performers propose a 3-year R&D project to develop and to apply a methodology for the long-term development of the Pan-European transmission network. The project aims at delivering a top-down methodology to support the planning from 2020 to 2050. First, it implements a set of future power ...
Het interactoom en de functie van de PP1γ interactor RepoMan bij de vorming van de mitotische spoel KU Leuven
The role of RepoMan in chromosome-dependent microtubule nucleation
The assembly of a mitotic spindle that makes stable contacts with chromosomes is crucial for accurate cell division. Both the centrosomal and chromosomal pathway of microtubule nucleation contribute to the efficient build-up of the bipolar spindle. The growth of microtubules starts at the γ-tubulin ring complex (γ-TuRC), where γ-tubulin serves as a template for ...

Novel immmunization strategy, using non-viral carriers for mRNA, encoding HIV protein variants. Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
We have developed an experimental immunotherapy for HIV, based on the ex vivo electroporation of patientmonocyte-derived dendritic cells (Mo-DC) with mRNA encoding consensus orautologous HIV gag mRNA. Presently, macaque and human phase I/II clinicaltrials are ongoing. This strategy is very promising because it is safe, it cancover the quasispecies and new immune responses against the virus can beinduced. The latter two elements are ...
Aanpak van subtalaire enkelstabiliteit KU Leuven
Inleiding
Enkel distorsies zijn de meest voorkomende sportletsels en zijn verantwoordelijk voor 3 tot 5 % van de patiëntencontacten op spoedgevallen. Enkeldistrorsies hebben een hoge sociale en economische kost geassocieerd aan diagnose, behandeling en verlies aan arbeidsproductiviteit met een geschatte jaarlijks kost van 187.2 miljoen euro in Nederland.
Meeste patiënten keren terug naar hun normale activiteit na 4 tot 8 weken. ...
De oorsprong en evolutie van een gestraalde Mercurius KU Leuven
Mercury is a metal-rich planet from which Earth-based and spacecraft data were collected. Our understanding of its interior structure and thermochemical evolution is however still relatively poor. This is due to: (1) large uncertainties on its polar moment of inertia and surface composition; this will be largely improved by the BepiColombo mission; (2) an unknown bulk-planet composition; and (3) a poor knowledge of some key thermophysical ...
