To be purple or not to be purple? How different production parameters influence colour and redox in manganese containing glass Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The purpose of this paper is to understand why manganese containing Roman glass could be purple or colourless in spite of having very similar chemical compositions. The strategy followed to tackle this question consists in the production of glass with the same chemical composition as Roman glass whereby various production parameters were controlled and systematically analysed. It is shown that redox and colour of glass is more likely to have ...

50 shades of colour Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Roman glass is studied here by means of optical absorption spectroscopy, in order to provide an objective method to quantitatively evaluate colour. The dataset is composed of 165 soda-lime silicate glass samples from various western European sites, mainly dated from the first to fourth century AD, and containing variable amounts of iron, manganese and/or antimony. Iron redox ratios and colour coordinates (based on the CIELab colour system) ...

Neuraxial analgesia is not associated with an increased risk of post-partum relapses in MS Vrije Universiteit Brussel KU Leuven
Background: Obstetrical analgesia remains a matter of controversy because of the fear of neurotoxicity of local anesthetics on demyelinated fibers or their potential relationship with subsequent relapses. Objective: To assess the impact of neuraxial analgesia on the risk of relapse during the first 3 months post-partum, with a focus on women who experienced relapses during pregnancy. Methods: We analyzed data of women followed-up ...
