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

Vrije Universiteit Brussel Abstract: The research institute 'VUB' and the 'Bekaert nv' have entered into a service-agreement concerning the project' Feasibility study on the usability of Raman spectroscopy concerning the adhesion of rubber on steel cord. '. The research results can be transferred to the company, there can be a reasonable return in case of commercialisation or there is another kind of agreement on intellectual property, as outlined in the concluded agreement. Organisations: • Materials and Chemistry Researchers: • ANNICK HUBIN Reconstruction of medical tomographic images with sparsity priors Ghent University Abstract: The aim of the project is to develop novel techniques for reconstructing medical image from projection data. We will concentrate on methods beased on the concept of statistical modeling with sparsity priors. We will apply the methods on microwave tomography and CT imagery. Organisations: • Departement of Telecommunications and information processing Researchers: • Wilfried Philips Fundamental investigations on spider mite resistance mechanisms with special reference to modified target-sites by employing in vitro mutagenesis Ghent University Abstract: Resistance research within the Acari has been seriously impeded by the lack of elucidated molecular target-sites and the availability of sequence data in general. Although there is a consensus on the mode of action of most acaricides (Knowles 1997, IRAC Mode of Action Classification version 6.1, August 2008) the molecular target-sites of these chemically very diverse compounds is often not known. There is currently no molecular information at all on the importance of metabolic resistance, although it has been shown in insects to cause multi-resistant phenotypes, which are especially frequently encountered in spider mite populations. In this light, the ongoing effort to sequence and annotate the complete genome of T. urticae, combined with large EST data analysis and the development of whole genome expression microarrays (USA Department of Energy, Joint Genome Insitute, http://www.jgi.doe.gov/sequencing/why/CSP2007/-spidermite.html) will give an unprecedented impetus to many research fields in acarology and beyond, including toxicology and resistance research. The Laboratory of Agrozoology is involved in the annotation of resistance genes of the spider mite genome. The main focus of this project is to fully exploit the possibilities of the genome sequence for understanding resistance mechanisms.

K.U.Leuven Abstract: Health care has been a very fruitful domain of research for combinatorial problems. Well known examples are e.g. nurse rostering and operation room scheduling. In this doctoral research the focus will be on finding strategies for solving structured combinatorial problems in health care.Structured combinatorial problems are problems that combine characteristics of different combinatorial problems. One example is the home care scheduling problem, where a set of caregivers visit patients' homes for treatment. This problem contains elements of both vehicle routing (visiting patients within a certain time window) and rostering (assigning skilled caregivers to patients). Few work has been done on solving such structured combinatorial problems. One interesting avenue that will be lookedat in this doctoral research is the decomposition of such problems intotractable subproblems.

K.U.Leuven Abstract: No English Abstract Organisations: • Hydraulics Section Researchers: • Dirk Raes • Patrick Willems • Okke Batelaan Interfacial Adhesion in Natural and Synthetic Fibre Composites, a Physical-Chemical-Mechanical Approach K.U.Leuven Abstract: The proposed work will tie in with ongoing research projects in the Composite Materials Group at KULeuven, in particular with the cooperative project with Vietnam (Belspo) and Columbia. This project focuses on coconut and bamboo fibres. The research will encompass the following aspects: - Processing research to convert fibre feedstock into a suitable form for typical composite processes (particularly thermoset resin infusion and thermoplastic compression moulding, possibly thermoset prepregging), particularly by modifying textile processing technology. - Fibre (or matrix) treatments or modifications based on an understanding of the physical chemistry fibres and matrices with the aim to control interfacial adhesion.
