Trade marks in sounds and gestures : a critical analysis of two non-traditional signs in the EU Ghent University
This article takes a critical look at the state of the law for marks that exclusively consist in sounds (sound marks) and marks consisting in movements of part of the body (gesture marks). Sounds and gestures can both constitute ‘signs’, although the borderline between a protectable gesture and an unprotectable concept or property is sometimes hard to determine. Both can be represented on the register, although it is argued that authorities are ...
Ripple marks indicate Mid-Devonian paleo-wind directions in the Orcadian Basin (Orkney Isles, Scotland) Vrije Universiteit Brussel KU Leuven
Few climate proxies provide information on paleo-wind directions. However, fossilized bedform elements can provide insight into the direction of flow that formed them. Wave-formed ripple marks, for example, which developed in shallow waters, extend transversely to the wind direction. In this study, Middle Devonian paleo-wind directions are reconstructed by measuring the orientation of 511 fossilized wave ripple marks in the Rousay Flagstone ...
Baltic shipping marks on nineteenth-century timber: their deciphering and a proposal for an innovative characterization of old timber Vrije Universiteit Brussel University of Antwerp
Intriguing marks have been recorded on numerous nineteenth-century timber structures throughout Europe. These inscriptions bear witness to an intensive trade that supplied Norwegian and Baltic timber - mainly softwood - to most Western European countries. Despite the abundance of archaeological records, the current understanding of these shipping marks is very limited. Consequently, historical surveys and restoration campaigns are not using ...
Female human pluripotent stem cells rapidly lose X chromosome inactivation marks and progress to a skewed methylation pattern during culture Vrije Universiteit Brussel
STUDY HYPOTHESIS:
Does a preferential X chromosome inactivation (XCI) pattern exist in female human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) and does the pattern change during long-term culture or upon differentiation?
STUDY FINDING:
We identified two independent phenomena that lead to aberrant XCI patterns in female hPSC: a rapid loss of histone H3 lysine 27 trimethylation (H3K27me3) and long non-coding X-inactive ...

Production and assembly marks in wrought iron structures Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Literature covers carpentry marks from medieval times to the twentieth century in timber structures, yet information on marks in nineteenth century wrought iron structures is scarce.
This paper elucidates on the iron brand and assembly marks discovered via in situ investigations of early nineteenth century wrought iron structures. The findings of a Belgian structure - which was believed to be produced in UK - are confronted with marks and ...
