Yvonne Erkens, universitair hoofddocent bij de afdeling sociaal recht, is dit voorjaar benoemd als Global Law professor aan de Katholieke Universiteit van Leuven.

Freshwater biodiversity has been threatened by eutrophication due to excessive nutrients in the environment. Releasing the freshwater species from such pressures requires efforts from industry and manufacturers to avoid emissions to vulnerable and high-risk regions.

Examining the sustainability aspects of biotechnology, especially those related to the production of ethanol from biomass.

This dissertation focuses on developing new mathematical and statistical methods to properly represent time-varying covariates and model them within the context of time-to-event analysis.

What are trait-trait relationships in wetlands? To what extent the so-called leaf economics traits deviate from terrestrial ecosystems? How traits specific to wetland plant relate to plant strategies? What’s the relationship between wetland plant traits to the ecosystem functioning (e.g. productivity,…

Consequences for sediment stability and seston trapping

Op 9 maart vond de allereerste editie van de PhD day plaats aan de KU Leuven, een initiatief van de VSR en ELS Academy. De PhD day ging vooraf aan het VSR jaarcongres van 10 en 11 maart.

Op 31 maart 2017 organiseren de Université de Liège (Liège Competition and Innovation Institute) en de KU Leuven, in samenwerking met de Vlaamse overheid, een conferentie over staatssteun.

What is the role of the rebound effect in achieving environmental savings from transport eco-innovation? Are traditional definitions of the rebound effect adequate in the context of transformative innovations and multidimensional environmental issues?

In this thesis we will explore the use of fuzzy systems theory for applications in bioinformatics.

BioSolar Cells is a five-year research project in which ten knowledge institutions and 45 private industries work together.

In this dissertation, we study partition-based models that can be used both for interpretable predictive modeling and for understanding data via interpretable patterns.

Migration imposes special pressures on the meaning, experience and organization of lifecycle rituals. These pressures are felt most strongly by Muslim migrants to Western Europe. In this innovative study, Nathal M. Dessing examines the effects of migration on the life cycle rituals of Moroccan, Turkish…

We explored the Universe using weak gravitational lensing, a phenomenon that occurs when light from distant galaxies is bent by the gravitational fields of closer cosmic objects, much like how a lens distorts light.

Plant architecture has distinct forms in different plant species, but also within a species the finalarchitecture of a plant is determined by its gradual development and changes therein induced by environmental conditions during the plant’s life cycle.

Wat is het effect op het milieu van het 2016-verbod op gratis plastic tasjes? Industrieel ecoloog Stefano Cucurachi heeft een subsidie ontvangen van €75.000 van het LUF-SVM Projectsubsidie Fonds* om deze vraag te beantwoorden.

The main subject of this thesis is the design and synthesis of paramagnetic molecules for protein studies with NMR and EPR spectroscopy.

This thesis involves three topics: benchmarking discrete optimization algorithms, empirical analyses of evolutionary computation, and automatic algorithm configuration.

The increasing competition in the automotive industry requires the tailored, swift development of technologically sophisticated vehicles. Therefore, the computationally expensive state-of-the-art simulation technologies are combined with optimization algorithms. An example of a real-world optimization…

The LOFAR radio telescope produces petabytes of data every year. Radio Astronomers use complex multi-step pipelines to process this data and produce scientific images.

Wij richten ons op natuurlijke producten van onderzoek, de traditionele geneeskunde, etnobotanie en fytochemie.

Hoe kunnen we onze maatschappij zo inrichten dat de wereld leefbaar blijft voor onszelf en al het andere leven om ons heen? Aan dat vraagstuk werken Leidse wetenschappers samen vanuit allerlei disciplines, van biologie tot datawetenschap en van milieueconomie tot archeologie.

A critical look at the impact assessment modelling of metals in Life Cycle Impact Assessment and improvement options.

Een leefbare aarde. Meer biodiversiteit. En verstandig omgaan met resources. Bij het CML willen we impact maken met ons onderzoek én onderwijs. Op deze website lees je hoe we dat doen.

Calamus javensis is polymorphic. Morphometry and molecular approach resulted in all names used in the complex are regarded as synonyms of C. javensis except C. tenompokensis, which is retained as a distinct species. One variety is here recognized, C. javensis var. polyphyllus (including C. acuminatu…
