A Case Study of ALD Encapsulation of Quantum Dots: Embedding Supported CdSe/CdS/ZnS Quantum Dots in a ZnO Matrix KU Leuven Ghent University
© 2016 American Chemical Society. We study the encapsulation of monolayers of CdSe/CdS/ZnS core/shell/shell quantum dots (QDs) in a ZnO matrix by atomic layer deposition (ALD) in order to gain insight in the interaction between quantum dots and ALD precursors and the resulting metal oxide coating. Using in situ XRF and GISAXS, we show the inhibition of ZnO growth on as-deposited QDs. Growth can, however, be triggered by exposing the QDs to a ...
Short-chain alcohols strip X-type ligands and quench the luminescence of PbSe and CdSe quantum dots, acetonitrile does not Ghent University
Does laparoscopic ovariectomy in dogs prevent the development of uterine pathologies at a later age? = Verhindert laparoscopische ovariëctomie bij honden de ontwikkeling van uteruspathologieën op oudere leeftijd? Ghent University
Ovariectomy and laparoscopic ovariectomy (lap OVE) are the routine spaying procedures in many countries. With these procedures, the uterus remains in situ and later in life, a uterine pathology such as cystic endometrial hyperplasia, pyometra or uterine neoplasia, can potentially develop. The patient files of 308 clinically healthy dogs that underwent elective lap OVE, were retrospectively searched during a study period of twelve years. For 173 ...
Does orexin B-binding receptor 2 for orexins regulate testicular and epididymal functions in normal and cryptorchid dogs? University of Antwerp
Orexins A (OXA) and B (OXB) and the receptors 1 (OX1R) and 2 (OX2R) for orexins are hypothalamic peptides found in several mammalian organs and participated to the control of a wide assortment of physiological and pathological functions. The distribution of OXA and OX1R has been extensively studied in the male gonad of mammals. Here, we examined the expression and localization of OXB and OX2R as well as their possible involvement in the ...
The morphology of the mandibular coronoid process does not indicate that Canis lupus chanco is the progenitor to dogs University of Antwerp
The domestication of wolves is currently under debate. Where, when and from which wolf sub-species dogs originated are being investigated both by osteoarchaeologists and geneticists. While DNA research is rapidly becoming more active and popular, morphological methods have been the gold standard in the past. But even today morphological details are routinely employed to discern archaeological wolves from dogs. One such morphological similarity ...
Chronic obesity does not alter inflammatory cytokines but evokes an impaired lymphocyte function in adult healthy dogs Ghent University
Increasing body weight does not affect cellular immunity but alters fat oxidation and oxidative stress in dogs Ghent University
Addressing cultural topics during psychotherapy : evidence-based do's and don'ts from an ethnic minority perspective Ghent University
Objective: Broaching-i.e., a counsellor's effort to install meaningful conversations in psychotherapy concerning one's cultural identity-is a strong predictor of positive treatment outcomes and client satisfaction, especially for minority-identified clients. Despite this understanding, the broaching literature has struggled to translate broaching principles into practical recommendations for specific behaviours and skills. The current study ...
