Fast and convenient mass spectrometry-based real-time monitoring of volatile organic compounds of biological origin. Ghent University
the major aim of the project is to come up with a better scientific understanding of VOC emissions from biological systems when they are exposured to stress factors. SIFT-MS will be developed towards the target compounds. Proper validation with established GC-MS techniques is necessary. Especially the convenience of the method in researching relationships between exposure/stress factors and VOC emission patterns is targeted for specific ...
Electrodeposition of metals, alloys and composite materials from acetamide-dimethyl sulfone eutectic melts KU Leuven
Mixtures of acetamide and dimethylsulfone (DMSO2) with dissolved anhydrous transition metal chlorides are introduced as new non-aqueous electrolytes for the preparation of luminescent composite metal coatings. Red-emitting (Eu2O3 and Y2O3:Eu3+), yellow-emitting (Y3Al5O12:Ce3+), ...

Pictural practices in antique Egyptian wall paintings: Methological approach and comparative study of four eighteenthe dynasty private tombs Ghent University
In this research project, the painting technique of a number of antique Egyptian private tombs (Theban necropolis, Luxor, Egypt) are examined, dating from the 18th Dynasty. Visual analysis is combined with macro photography, raking light images and UV fluorescence photography. Moreover, a number of archaeometrical techniques are as well used to identify the materials that were applied (colorimetry, Ir spectroscopy, UV-fluorescence, X-ray ...
Development and validation of human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocyte (hiPSC-CM) assays to predict functional and structural cardiac liabilities. University of Antwerp
Sulfones and the landscapes of leprosy care in the Belgian Congo from the 1930s to 1960 KU Leuven
The development and validation of a prototype of a Belgian data registration system on medication use during pregnancy and lactation (BELpREG-project) KU Leuven
Biosynthesis and bioengineering of novel bacterial benzolactone enamide anti-cancer agents KU Leuven
The oximidines are unusual macrocyclic metabolites that were recently identified from Pseudomonas baetica bacteria and shown to have potent anti-cancer activity. They belong to the benzolactone enamide family of natural products, which inhibit tumor cell proliferation by selectively targeting mammalian vacuolar-type ATPases. Identification and analysis of the oximidine biosynthetic gene cluster has revealed a hybrid polyketide-nonribosomal ...
