Knowledge transfer in age‐diverse coworker dyads in China and Germany : how and when do age‐inclusive human resource practices have an effect? Ghent University
Near‐Infrared BODIPY‐Acridine Dyads Acting as Heavy‐Atom‐Free Dual‐Functioning Photosensitizers Hasselt University
Boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) dyes represent a particular class within the broad array of potential photosensitizers. Their highly fluorescent nature opens the door for theragnostic applications, combining imaging and therapy using a single, easily synthesized chromophore. However, near-infrared absorption is strongly desired for photodynamic therapy to enhance tissue penetration. Furthermore, singlet oxygen should preferentially be generated ...
When you can’t play sports : the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on motivational and emotional experiences in coach-athlete dyads Ghent University
(1) Background: This study aimed to assess the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on athletes’ and coaches’ experiences. Following the Dualistic Model of Passion and the Self-determination Theory, the objectives of this study were to investigate whether the COVID-19 pandemic and its restrictions affected athletes’ and coaches’ passion experiences, emotional experiences and basic psychological needs while engaging in their sport activities. ...
Synthesis, linear and nonlinear optical properties of thermally stable ferrocene-diketopyrrolopyrrole dyads KU Leuven
© 2015 The Royal Society of Chemistry. A set of new ferrocene-diketopyrrolopyrrole (Fc-DPP) conjugated dyads was synthesized and their optical, nonlinear optical (NLO) and electrochemical properties were investigated. The second-order nonlinear polarizabilities were determined using hyper-Rayleigh scattering with femtosecond pulsed laser light at 840 nm. The dyads exhibited structure dependent NLO response, which could be explained by ...
Synthesis and Controlled Self-Assembly of Covalently Linked Hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronene/Perylene Diimide Dyads as Models To Study Fundamental Energy and Electron Transfer Processes KU Leuven
We report the synthesis and photophysical characterization of a series of hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronene (HBC)/perylenetetracarboxy diimide (PDI) dyads that are covalently linked with a rigid bridge. Both the ratio of the two components and the conjugation of the bridging element are systematically modified to study the influence on self-assembly and energy and electron transfer between electron donor HBC and acceptor PDI. STM and 2D-WAXS ...
Strength-based Video-feedback to improve maternal sensitivity in mother-infant dyads with maternal depressive symptoms: Study protocol for a randomized controlled feasibility trial KU Leuven
INTRODUCTION: Maternal sensitivity and mentalization are fundamental for children's mental health development. These skills have been negatively associated with maternal postpartum depressive symptomatology. Moreover, its prevalence increases in low socioeconomic and psychosocial risk contexts, where the access to treatment is scarce. Even though Attachment Based Interventios, such as Video-Feedback has been internationally recognized as an ...
Association between perceived partner support and lifestyle in mother-father dyads expecting a first child KU Leuven University of Antwerp Vrije Universiteit Brussel
BACKGROUND: A healthy lifestyle during pregnancy is important for the health of mother and child. However, unfavorable physical activity (PA) and dietary changes are observed in pregnant women and their partner. Partner's influence on lifestyle has been reported by expectant women and men. The first aim was to analyze associations between perceived partner support on expectant parents own as well as their partner's moderate-to-vigorous intensity ...
Synthesis of mesogenic phthalocyanine-$C_{60}$ donor-acceptor dyads designed for molecular heterojunction photovoltaic devices University of Antwerp
A series of phthalocyanine-C(60) dyads 2a-d was synthesized. Key steps in their synthesis are preparation of the low symmetry phthalocyanine intermediate by the statistical condensation of two phthalonitriles, and the final esterification of the fullerene derivative bearing a free COOH group. Structural characterization of the molecules in solution was performed by NMR spectroscopy, UV- vis spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. Preliminary ...
Associations between first encounters and ensuing social relations within dyads of two species of lacertid lizards Research Institute for Nature and Forest
Researchers often presume that dominant individuals, during an initial series of social interactions, ultimately gain possession of the territory, but detailed studies of the process of social relation establishment in animals are rare. We used an experimental approach on pairs of conspecific newborns of two lizard species (Podarcis sicula and P. melisellensis) to examine whether the outcomes of first encounters are consistent with the formation ...
