Nanoparticles for Electron Emission Cancer Tumor Treatment. KU Leuven
The goal of this thesis was to study silica and gold nanoparticles from synthesis to characterization to biomedical application. Nanoparticles (NPs) are typically defined as materials with at least one of its dimension in the range of 1 nm to 100 nm. In this way the NP will behave like a molecule and like bulk material. NPs have unique electronic, optical, magnetic and catalytic properties. Because of these unique properties, nanoparticles ...
ANTIBACTERIAL DOSING IN SPECIAL PATIENT POPULATIONS WITH SEVERE BACTERIAL INFECTIONS: A PATIENT-ORIENTED AND COVARIATE-DRIVEN APPROACH KU Leuven
Early and appropriate antibiotic therapy are crucial determinants for successful treatment of severe bacterial infections. Suboptimal antibiotic exposure has been shown to lead to worse clinical outcome (e.g., prolonged antibiotic course, prolonged length of stay, increased mortality). Hence, antibiotic exposure should be high enough to maximize the likelihood of clinical success, but not too high to avoid unnecessary toxicity. Beta-lactams ...
REFIPROC: Realization of FBG Interrogator Prototype for (potential) Customers Ghent University
Optical fiber sensors can play an important role within the framework of Industry4.0 and especially in applications in harsh environments because of the unique properties of this type of sensors. However, the current readers on the optical fiber sensor market are expensive, large and not robust, which stands in the way of substantial market penetration.
At UGent we have developed the unique technology that makes it possible to ...
