Learning to become a machine operator: The dialogical relationship between context, self, and content

informal learning

Dirkx JM.
GSID: HKo5hMY8Vl8J
JL Brockman, JM Dirkx - Human Resource Development …, 2006 - Wiley Online Library

As work organizations restructure to remain competitive, problem solving is being pushed down to frontline workers, and emphasis is increasingly placed on workplace learning. In …

Nurturing soul in adult learning

adult

Dirkx JM.
GSID: mh7OaPGtfrgJ
JM Dirkx - New directions for adult and continuing education, 1997 - Wiley Online Library

… But the soul dimensions of transformation have received little attention in our study of adult learning. Our journey of self-knowledge also requires that we care for and nurture the …

Jaw morphology and fighting forces in stag beetles.

The Journal of experimental biology

Goyens J, Dirckx J, Aerts P.
PMID: 27436136
J Exp Biol. 2016 Sep 15;219:2955-2961. doi: 10.1242/jeb.141614. Epub 2016 Jul 19.

The jaws of different species of stag beetles show a large variety of shapes and sizes. The male jaws are used as weapons in fights, and they may exert a very forceful bite in some species. We investigated in...

Variational principle for nonlinear wave propagation in dissipative systems.

Physical review. E

Dierckx H, Verschelde H.
PMID: 26986334
Phys Rev E. 2016 Feb;93(2):022210. doi: 10.1103/PhysRevE.93.022210. Epub 2016 Feb 16.

The dynamics of many natural systems is dominated by nonlinear waves propagating through the medium. We show that in any extended system that supports nonlinear wave fronts with positive surface tension, the asymptotic wave-front dynamics can be formulated as...

Generalized minimal principle for rotor filaments.

Physical review letters

Dierckx H, Wellner M, Bernus O, Verschelde H.
PMID: 25978269
Phys Rev Lett. 2015 May 01;114(17):178104. doi: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.114.178104. Epub 2015 Apr 30.

To a reaction-diffusion medium with an inhomogeneous anisotropic diffusion tensor D, we add a fourth spatial dimension such that the determinant of the diffusion tensor is constant in four dimensions. We propose a generalized minimal principle for rotor filaments,...

Coating techniques in optical interferometric metrology.

Applied optics

Dirckx JJ, Decraemer WF.
PMID: 18253269
Appl Opt. 1997 May 01;36(13):2776-82. doi: 10.1364/ao.36.002776.

In optical interferometry diffuse reflectivity of the surface under study should be high and homogeneous. Application of a white reflective coating can strongly improve measurement results. The optical properties of bronze powder, TiO(2) powder, white Chinese ink, and MgO...

Optoelectronic moire projector for real-time shape and deformation studies of the tympanic membrane.

Journal of biomedical optics

Dirckx JJ, Decraemer WF.
PMID: 23014871
J Biomed Opt. 1997 Apr;2(2):176-85. doi: 10.1117/12.268966.

High quality statistical shape modelling of the human nasal cavity and applications.

Royal Society open science

Keustermans W, Huysmans T, Danckaers F, Zarowski A, Schmelzer B, Sijbers J, Dirckx JJJ.
PMID: 30662757
R Soc Open Sci. 2018 Dec 19;5(12):181558. doi: 10.1098/rsos.181558. eCollection 2018 Dec.

The human nose is a complex organ that shows large morphological variations and has many important functions. However, the relation between shape and function is not yet fully understood. In this work, we present a high quality statistical shape...

Effect of microstructure on the mechanical and damping behaviour of dragonfly wing veins.

Royal Society open science

Rajabi H, Shafiei A, Darvizeh A, Dirks JH, Appel E, Gorb SN.
PMID: 26998340
R Soc Open Sci. 2016 Feb 17;3(2):160006. doi: 10.1098/rsos.160006. eCollection 2016 Feb.

Insect wing veins are biological composites of chitin and protein arranged in a complex lamellar configuration. Although these hierarchical structures are found in many 'venous wings' of insects, very little is known about their physical and mechanical characteristics. For...

Structural intensity assessment on shells via a finite element approximation.

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America

Pires F, Avril S, Vanlanduit S, Dirckx J.
PMID: 30710965
J Acoust Soc Am. 2019 Jan;145(1):312. doi: 10.1121/1.5087564.

Structural intensity on plates or shells can provide insights on how the vibrational energy is transmitted throughout a sample. Its assessment via experimental deflections are widely documented in the case of plates, which just requires the computation of spatial...

Three-dimensional vibration patterns of alto saxophone reeds measured on different mouthpieces under mimicked realistic playing conditions.

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America

Ukshini E, Dirckx JJJ.
PMID: 34852612
J Acoust Soc Am. 2021 Nov;150(5):3730. doi: 10.1121/10.0007281.

In single reed musical instruments, vibrations of the reed, in conjunction with the geometry of the mouthpiece and the acoustic feedback of the instrument, play an essential role in sound generation. Up until now, three-dimensional (3D) reed vibration patterns...

Extended imaging volume in cone-beam x-ray tomography using the weighted simultaneous iterative reconstruction technique.

Physics in medicine and biology

Sanctorum JG, Van Wassenbergh S, Nguyen V, De Beenhouwer J, Sijbers J, Dirckx JJJ.
PMID: 34289457
Phys Med Biol. 2021 Aug 13;66(16). doi: 10.1088/1361-6560/ac16bc.

An issue in computerized x-ray tomography is the limited size of available detectors relative to objects of interest. A solution was provided in the past two decades by positioning the detector in a lateral offset position, increasing the effective...
