Conservation of heritage buildings in Mashhad : on the impact of climate change and the urban heat island effect Ghent University
Evaluation of the climate for conservation of the adoration of the mystic lamb in the St. Bavo Cathedral in Ghent Ghent University
Evaluation of the indoor climate for conservation of the polyptic 'The Adoration of the Mystic Lamb' in the St. Bavo cathedral in Ghent Ghent University
Earlier research revealed that humidity, temperature and lighting can affect artwork exhibited in museums or historical buildings. An example of such a case is the polyptic U+201CThe Adoration of the Mystic LambU+201D exposed in the Saint-Bavo Cathedral at Ghent, Belgium. The aim of the paper is to study the indoor conditions, in specific the temperature and relative humidity and to estimate the quality of the indoor environment. The measurement ...
La conservazione dei beni culturali fra pubblico e privato Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Il capitolo ricostruisce l'evoluzione del settore del restauro in Umbria a partire dagli anni Settanta e presenta una prima ricognizione del peso economico nel quadro dell'economia regionale delle imprese dedite al restauro dei libri.
Personality and performance are affected by age and early life parameters in a small primate Ghent University
Report on the presence of a group of golden-headed lion tamarins (Leontopithecus chrysomelas), an endangered primate species in a rubber plantation in southern Bahia, Brazil Royal Zoological Society of Antwerp
In a landscape fragmented by agriculture, the extent to which forest-dwelling primates can use the matrix between fragments can be critical for their long-term survival. So far, the golden-headed lion tamarin (Leontopithecus chrysomelas), an endangered primate inhabiting the Atlantic Forest of south Bahia, is only known to use shaded cacao (Theobroma cacao) agroforests within the matrix. We report on the use of a rubber plantation by a group of ...
Primate lentiviral Nef proteins deregulate T-cell development by multiple mechanisms University of Antwerp Ghent University
Background: A nef gene is present in all primate lentiviral genomes and is important for high viral loads and progression to AIDS in human or experimental macaque hosts of HIV or SIV, respectively. In these hosts, infection of the thymus results in a decreased output of naive T cells that may contribute to the development of immunodeficiency. We have previously shown that HIV-1 subtype B Nef proteins can block human T-cell development. However, ...
Assessing the effects of survey-inherent disturbance on primate detectability: Recommendations for line transect distance sampling Royal Zoological Society of Antwerp
Habitat destruction and over-hunting are increasingly threatening the arboreal primates of Central Africa. To establish effective conservation strategies, accurate assessments of primate density, abundance, and spatial distribution are required. To date, the method of choice for primate density estimation is line transect distance sampling. However, primates fleeing human observers violate methodological assumptions, biasing the accuracy of ...
