On the Design of High-Speed Miniature Air Bearings: Dynamic Stability, Optimisation and Experimental Validation (Ontwerp van miniatuur luchtlagers voor hoge snelheden: dynamische stabiliteit, optimalisatie en experimentele validatie) KU Leuven
Hogesnelheidslagers vormen een hoofdbestanddeel in een toenemend aantal toepassingen. Gasgesmeerde lagers bieden voor dit toepassingsdomein vers cheidene voordelen ten opzichte van andere, meer klassieke lagertechnolo gieën: quasi-sleetvrije werking, een schone en olievrije oplossing, bepe rkte wrijvingsverliezen, een ruim temperatuurbereik enz. De voornaamste beperking van gasgesmeerde lagers betreft echter het dynamische stabilit eitsprobleem ...
Validation of a dynamic stem diameter variation model and the resulting seasonal changes in calibrated parameter values Universiteit Gent
Validation of ecological models is not a straightforward task and much controversy exists in the published literature on the exact definition. A lot of approaches have been suggested, without one being clearly superior. In this paper, we use the earlier published dynamic 'RCGro' tree water flow and storage model as an illustrative example to address some model validation issues. We show that the model fails validation when confronted with a data ...
Use of Real-Time Cine MRI to Assess the Respirophasic Variation of the Inferior Vena Cava-Proof-of-Concept and Validation Against Transthoracic Echocardiography KU Leuven
BACKGROUND: In clinical practice, the right heart filling status is assessed using the respirophasic variation of the inferior vena cava (IVC) assessed by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) showing moderate correlations with the catheter-based reference standard. PURPOSE: To develop and validate a similar approach using MRI. STUDY TYPE: Prospective. POPULATION: 37 male elite cyclists (mean age 26 ± 4 years). FIELD STRENGTH/SEQUENCE: Real-time ...
Detection and validation of copy number variation in X-linked mental retardation KU Leuven
Studies to identify the genetic defects associated with X-linked mental retardation (XLMR) in males have revealed tens of genes important for normal brain development and cognitive functioning in men. Despite extensive efforts in breakpoint cloning of chromosomal rearrangements and mutation screening of candidate genes on the X chromosome, still many XLMR families and sporadic cases remain unsolved. It is now clear that submicroscopic copy ...
Development and validation of spatial distribution models of marine habitats, in support of the ecological valuation of the seabed Universiteit Gent
Development and validation of spatial distribution models of marine habitats, in support of the ecological valuation of the seabed Universiteit Gent
The marine environment is subjected to increasing anthropogenic pressure. Although there is a willingness of the different activities to minimize their impacts, there is a strong need for the assessment of the ecological value of the seabed, comprising both the abiotic substrate and the living organisms related to it (together called a ‘habitat’). Therefore, ‘habitat mapping’ is crucial, not only for the assessment of the ecological value at a ...
Validation of criteria for the selection of AFLP markers to assess the genetic variation of a breeders' collection of evergreen azaleas Instituut voor Landbouw-, Visserij- en Voedingsonderzoek
Fluorescent AFLP and automated data analysis were employed to assess the genetic conformity within a breeders' collection of evergreen azaleas. The study included 75 genotypes of Belgian pot azaleas (Rhododendron simsii Planch. hybrids), Kurume and Hirado azaleas and wild ancestor species from the Tsutsusi subgenus. Fluorescent detection and addition of an internal size standard to each lane enabled the automated scoring of each fragment arising ...
Strategic Behaviour in Power Wholesale Electricity Markets: Design, Implementation & Validation of an Agent-based Simulation Platform (Strategisch gedrag binnen de elektriciteitsmarkt: ontwerp, implementatie & validatie van een agent-gebaseerde ma KU Leuven
Liberalising the European electricity industry did not naturally produce its intended results. Network constraints, few dominant sellers in a relatively small market, complex market designs, price-inelastic consumers, reductions in generation capacity, unavailability of perfect information provided in real-time, and portfolio economics and technical characteristics induced the observed strategic gaming behaviour of generators.In order to ...
