Influence of helium mole fraction distribution on the properties of cold atmospheric pressure helium plasma jets Universiteit Gent
The Effects of Children’s Proximity-seeking to Maternal Attachment Figures During Mild Stress Exposure on Mood and Physiological Responses: An Experimental Study KU Leuven Universiteit Gent
In this study we investigated the effects of seeking versus avoiding proximity to mother on children’s emotional recovery from a stressor. Sixty children 9–12 years underwent a moodinduction procedure and were randomly assigned to seek proximity from or avoid an image of their mothers. The effect of this manipulation on children’s self‐reported negative emotions, skin conductance and heart rate variability (respiratory sinus arhythmia) was ...
Impact of wind-driven rain on historic brick wall buildings in a moderately cold and humid climate: numerical analyses of mould growth risk, indoor climate and energy consumption KU Leuven
This paper gives an onset to whole building hygrothermal modelling in which the interaction between interior and exterior climates via building enclosures is simulated under a moderately cold and humid climate. The focus is particularly on the impact of wind-driven rain (WDR) on the hygrothermal response, mould growth at interior wall surfaces, indoor climate and energy consumption. First the WDR load on the facades of a 4×4×10 m3 tower is ...
Old but gold Universiteit Antwerpen
This PhD dissertation focused on the drug auranofin (AF) and its potential to be repurposed from anti-rheumatic drug to anti-cancer drug in mutant p53 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). These cancer cells rely on mutant p53 proteins and increased ROS production, making them vulnerable to further ROS damage and cell death. As a result, mutant p53 driven ROS enhancement forms a weakness, an ‘Achilles ...
Correlates of sedentary behavior in middle-aged and old age people with mild cognitive impairment: a multinational study KU Leuven
UNLABELLED: ABSTRACTObjective:Despite the benefits of being active for people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) on cognition and the acknowledgement that MCI is a critical period for intervening to prevent dementia, little is known about the actual sedentary levels in people with MCI. This study investigates correlates of sedentary behavior (SB) in people with MCI. DESIGN: This was a cross-sectional study. SETTING: Data from the World Health ...
Influence of mold preheating and silicon content on microstructure and casting properties of ductile iron in permanent mold Universiteit Antwerpen
The effects of the mold preheating and the silicon content of ductile iron on the percentage of carbides, graphite nodule counts and shrinkage volume were investigated. The results showed that the percentage of carbides and the shrinkage volume decreased when the mold preheating increased. The ductile iron with the carbon equivalent of 4.45% and the silicon content of 2.5% without any porosity defects was achieved when the mold preheating was ...
Pharmacodynamics of Isavuconazole for Invasive Mold Disease: Role of Galactomannan for Real-Time Monitoring of Therapeutic Response KU Leuven
BACKGROUND.: The ability to make early therapeutic decisions when treating invasive aspergillosis using changes in biomarkers as a surrogate for therapeutic response could significantly improve patient outcome. METHODS.: Cox proportional hazards model and logistic regression were used to correlate early changes in galactomannan index (GMI) to mortality and overall response, respectively, from patients with positive baseline GMI (≥0.5) and serial ...
Size does matter – Susceptibility of apple for gray mold is affected by cell size KU Leuven
Apple is a seasonal product that is stored for long periods of time, during which fungal‐caused decay can occur. Previous infection experiments of intact ‘Jongaored’ apple with Botrytis cinerea displayed apparent differences in lesion expansion rate with respect to inoculation position on the fruit (on, above or below the equator). The goal of this study was to (i) investigate whether these differences are consistent or not, and, if so, to (ii) ...
