Experimental and Modelling Investigations <strong>of</strong> Structure-Property Relations in Nano-Reinforced Cellular Materials<br />
K.U.Leuven<br />
Abstract: The objective <strong>of</strong> the proposed PhD work is to develop a hierarchical model <strong>of</strong> cellular polymeric nano-composites. The model will account<br />
for three structural levels <strong>of</strong> the material hierarchy, namely a meso-level (thelevel <strong>of</strong> cell clusters), a micro-level (the level <strong>of</strong> a cell wall material) and<br />
a nano-lelvel (the level <strong>of</strong> nano-fillers in a polymeric matrix).The ultimate goal is to predict mechanical properties <strong>of</strong> these novel nano-composites<br />
and to explore novel mechanisms <strong>of</strong> deformation and failure. Opposed to the standard #step-by-step# homogenization methods, this PhD project<br />
will follow a novel modelling approach, which will treat two structural levels <strong>of</strong> the material simultaneously. Such an approach will give an<br />
opportunity to investigate the presence <strong>of</strong> synergetic effects resulted from interaction between hierarchical levels. The model may also be used to<br />
optimise material performance and to guide further developments <strong>of</strong> new cellular nano-composites. This PhD research is funded by t<br />

Feasibility study on the usability <strong>of</strong> Raman spectroscopy concerning the adhesion <strong>of</strong> rubber on steel cord.<br />
Vrije Universiteit Brussel<br />
Abstract: The research institute 'VUB' and the 'Bekaert nv' have entered into a service-agreement concerning the project' Feasibility study on the<br />
usability <strong>of</strong> Raman spectroscopy concerning the adhesion <strong>of</strong> rubber on steel cord. '. The research results can be transferred to the company, there<br />
can be a reasonable return in case <strong>of</strong> commercialisation or there is another kind <strong>of</strong> agreement on intellectual property, as outlined in the concluded<br />
agreement.<br />

Reconstruction <strong>of</strong> medical tomographic images with sparsity priors<br />
Ghent University<br />
Abstract: The aim <strong>of</strong> the project is to develop novel techniques for reconstructing medical image from projection data. We will concentrate on<br />
methods beased on the concept <strong>of</strong> statistical modeling with sparsity priors. We will apply the methods on microwave tomography and CT imagery.<br />

Fundamental investigations on spider mite resistance mechanisms with special reference to modified target-sites by<br />
employing in vitro mutagenesis<br />
Ghent University<br />
Abstract: Resistance research within the Acari has been seriously impeded by the lack <strong>of</strong> elucidated molecular target-sites and the availability <strong>of</strong><br />
sequence data in general. Although there is a consensus on the mode <strong>of</strong> action <strong>of</strong> most acaricides (Knowles 1997, IRAC Mode <strong>of</strong> Action<br />
Classification version 6.1, August 2008) the molecular target-sites <strong>of</strong> these chemically very diverse compounds is <strong>of</strong>ten not known. There is<br />
currently no molecular information at all on the importance <strong>of</strong> metabolic resistance, although it has been shown in insects to cause multi-resistant<br />
phenotypes, which are especially frequently encountered in spider mite populations. In this light, the ongoing effort to sequence and annotate the<br />
complete genome <strong>of</strong> T. urticae, combined with large EST data analysis and the development <strong>of</strong> whole genome expression microarrays (USA<br />
Department <strong>of</strong> Energy, Joint Genome Insitute, http://www.jgi.doe.gov/sequencing/why/CSP2007/-spidermite.html) will give an unprecedented<br />
impetus to many research fields in acarology and beyond, including toxicology and resistance research.<br />
The Laboratory <strong>of</strong> Agrozoology is involved in the annotation <strong>of</strong> resistance genes <strong>of</strong> the spider mite genome. The main focus <strong>of</strong> this project is to fully<br />
exploit the possibilities <strong>of</strong> the genome sequence for understanding resistance mechanisms.<br />
