Isolating the effect of fat content on Listeria monocytogenes growth dynamics in fish-based emulsion and gelled emulsion systems KU Leuven
The influence of food matrix fat content on growth kinetics of bacteria is quite complex and, thus far, not fully elucidated, with different studies reporting contradictory results. Since results in studies involving real foodproducts are possibly influenced by variations in compositional and physicochemical properties, there is a need for systematic studies in artificial food model systems among which the influence of fat content is ...
Study into the effect of microfluidisation processing parameters on the physicochemical properties of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) bran. KU Leuven
The physicochemical properties of wheat bran have an effect on its technofunctional and nutritional profile. The possibility to induce physicochemical modifications in wheat bran using microfluidisation was investigated. An I-optimal experimental design was used to investigate the effect of microfluidisation processing parameters (pressure, number of passes, bran concentration and initial particle size) on important properties of wheat bran ...
Experimental validation of the power enhancement of a pair of vertical-axis wind turbines Vrije Universiteit Brussel
A methodology using the spectral coherence and healthy historical data to perform gearbox fault diagnosis under varying operating conditions KU Leuven
Condition monitoring is usually performed over long periods of time when critical rotating machines such as wind turbine gearboxes are monitored. There are many potential signal processing and analysis techniques that can be utilised to diagnose the machine from the condition monitoring data, however, they seldom incorporate the available healthy historical data of a machine systematically in the fault diagnosis process. Hence, a methodology is ...
The effect of neurostimulation applied to the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex on post-stress adaptation as a function of depressive brooding Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Depressive brooding following a stressful event predicts negative affect and neuroendocrine responses related to psychological stress. The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) has been associated with the top-down regulation of thoughts and emotions, and abnormal neural activity within this region has been associated with increased psychological stress and ruminative thinking. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the modulation ...
Anti-infliximab antibodies: How to compare old and new data? KU Leuven
BACKGROUND: Anti-drug-antibodies (ADA) against infliximab are frequently measured in patients receiving infliximab treatment with loss of response and undetectable infliximab concentrations. Different ADA bridging assays (1st generation, 2nd generation and ready-to-use kit) have been developed successively and were applied over the last 10 years, making comparison between ADA concentrations very challenging. A cutoff of 8 μg/ml was established ...
Manuel KorinthiosU+2019 poems in the Codex Wellcome Library 498 Ghent University
From the document to the sublime, there is only one step: boxing with Armando and Alexander Kluge Ghent University
This is a confrontation of the two multifaceted artists Armando and Alexander Kluge, both of whom are prominent figures in post-war culture. In four consecutive rounds, we detail the background, the poetology, the reception and literary practice of both U+201Cinterview authorsU+201D in terms of a boxing match. We begin by describing ArmandoU+2019s position in Dutch and European artistic movements and in the literary neo-avant-garde. Then the ...
