Dopant-free hole-transporting material with a C-3h symmetrical truxene core for highly efficient perovskite solar cells KU Leuven
Herein we present a new structural design of hole-transporting material, Trux-OMeTAD, which consists of a C3h Truxene-core with arylamine terminals and hexyl side-chains. This planar, rigid, and fully conjugated molecule exhibits excellent hole mobility and desired surface energy to the perovskite uplayer. Perovskite solar cells fabricated using the p-i-n architecture with Trux-OMeTAD as the p-layer, show a high PCE of 18.6% with minimal ...
Global patient outcomes after elective surgery: prospective cohort study in 27 low-, middle- and high-income countries Vrije Universiteit Brussel KU Leuven
Background
As global initiatives increase patient access to surgical treatments, there remains a need to understand the adverse effects of surgery and define appropriate levels of perioperative care.
Methods
We designed a prospective international 7-day cohort study of outcomes following elective adult inpatient surgery in 27 countries. The primary outcome was in-hospital complications. Secondary outcomes were death ...

The effects of vacuum-ultraviolet radiation on defects in low-k organosilicate glass (SiCOH) as measured with electron-spin resonance KU Leuven
Defect concentrations in SiCOH low-k dielectrics deposited on high-resistivity silicon substrates were measured with Electron Spin Resonance (ESR). CP4 and HF treatmentswere used in order to eliminate dangling bonds from the backside of the silicon substrate as well as the sample edges. Two kinds of defects with characteristic g = 2.0054–2.0050 and g=2.0018–2.0020were detected in pristine samples and quantified using Lorentzian fitting. The ...
Casimicrobium huifangae gen. nov., sp. nov., a ubiquitous 'most-wanted' core bacterial taxon from municipal wastewater treatment plants Ghent University
Microorganisms in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) play a key role in the removal of pollutants from municipal and industrial wastewaters. A recent study estimated that activated sludge from global municipal WWTPs harbors 1 x 10(9) to 2 x 10(9) microbial species, the majority of which have not yet been cultivated, and 28 core taxa were identified as "most-wanted" ones (L Wu, D. Ning, B. Zhang, Y. Li, et al., Nat Microbiol 4:1183-1195, 2019, ...
Level and value of circulating endothelial progenitor cells in patients with acute myocardial infarction undergoing primary coronary angioplasty: in vivo and in vitro studies KU Leuven
Levels of circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) in acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients undergoing primary coronary intervention (PCI) were investigated in this study. Flow cytometric analysis of the circulating EPC level (CD31/CD34 [E(1)], CD62E/CD34 [E(2)], and KDR/CD34 [E(3)]) was determined from blood samples of 161 consecutive patients with STEMI undergoing primary PCI. Angiogenesis was evaluated using ...
Microstructural white matter changes in normal aging University of Antwerp
Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) has already proven to be a valuable tool when investigating both global and regional microstructural white matter (WM) brain changes in the human aging process. Although subject to many criticisms, voxel-based analysis is currently one of the most common and preferred approaches in such DTI aging studies. In this context, voxel-based DTI analyses have assumed a 'linear' correlation when finding the significant ...
