In 1989, the artist Jan Vercruysse (1948–2018) stated that he was “the last Flemish Primitive”. This comment, despite being only a fragment of lengthy interview with Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev, became trope in subsequent writings on Vercruysse. I argue statement part deliberate strategy by shaping his identity as (Belgian) artist. First, focus Vercruysse’s Portraits Artist (1979–1984), series p...

This paper investigates the diverging incentives for product quality in a channel with two asymmetric retailers and a common supplier. When retailers differ in terms of service provision and channel power, changes in manufactured quality cause channel conflicts. In particular, our results show that if the low service retailer becomes dominant in the channel, it may induce a low level of quality...

UML class diagrams are widely used to model the static structure of object-oriented software systems. As a supplement, OCL becomes more and more popular for formulating constraints that can not be modeled by the diagrams. In this paper, we extend OCL with elements of temporal logic. With this extension, constraints on the temporal development of the system structure as well as on the system beh...

When linear precoding is applied to filterbank multicarrier systems, a combination of all subcarriers is transmitted, minimizing the effect of a deep fade in a subcarrier while also reducing frequency offset sensibility and the peakto-average power ratio. However, their equalization becomes even more challenging than usual. In this paper, we present an analysis on the effect of multitap subchan...

O2 diving incidents investigated by our laboratory were related to improper filling of the soda lime canister in closed-circuit oxygen rebreathers. We studied the effect of overfilling or underfilling the canister on CO2 absorption using a continuous flow of 5% CO2. With a full canister in the Oxyger 57, CO2 began to rise at 130-160 min, reaching 1% at 240 min and 1.5% at 270 min. Similar resul...
