Non-noble metal catalysis for Cross-coupling reactions: Computational insights KU Leuven
Catalysis plays a pivotal role in our society since we are critically dependent on plastic materials and pharmaceutical products of which many steps of their industrial production are led by catalyzed processes.
Accordingly, the development of a new catalytic systems based on transition metals is very active.
However, catalysts are, nowadays, mainly made by organometallic complexes based on rare and precious noble metals such as Pd, ...
The effect of pelvic floor muscle training on bowel symptoms after low anterior resection for colorectal cancer KU Leuven
Colorectal cancer is a serious heath problem in industrialized countries. Worldwide it is the second most common cancer in women and the third in men. Approximately 35% of these tumors originated in the rectum. There are several treatment strategies for rectal cancer, depending on the location and the stage of the tumor. Since amny years, low anterior resection (LAR) of the rectum with total mesorectal excision (TME) is the gold standard for ...
The relationship between wheat bran properties and their impact on bread making KU Leuven
Wheat bran, a co-product of the industrial roller milling of wheat, can be added to food products such as bread because of its nutritional profile and physiological effects. However, incorporation of wheat bran in bread systems can negatively affect final product quality. Next to possible taste issues, bran-enriched bread modifies crumb texture and shows a lower loaf volume as compared to white bread. Some intrinsic bran properties are ...
Objectifying Assessment of Human Emotional Processing and Expression of Clinical and Psychotherapy Applications (EMO-App) Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Automated Analysis of Histological Images Using Machine Learning and Image Processing Techniques KU Leuven
SUMMARY
Histology studies microscopic tissue appearance and properties.
Histology analysis is used to study disease at the cellular level. This analysis happens through microscopic examination of tissue sections,
thin slices of tissue that were obtained from biopsies, mounted on a microscope slide, and made visible using a specific dye. Digital imaging allows individual microscopic structures, ...
Model Platinum Catalysts KU Leuven
Platinum is used by many industries because of its exceptional catalytic activity, electrochemical properties and corrosion resistance. It is widely used as a catalyst in the chemical production, in fuel cell and electrolyser electrodes and in sensors for analytical and medical applications. Catalysts are key to face grand technological challenges in the fields of energy and environmental protection and to ensure a sustainable supply of ...
