Quantitative analysis of 8 pharmaceuticals and 1 pesticide in surface water and waste water with liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry: method development and field study Universiteit Gent
A major part of this thesis is about the development of an SPE-LC-MS/MS method for the determination of pharmaceuticals in surface water and waste water. It is proven that careful optimisation of an LC-MS method is mandatory for these matrices, due to the complex nature of the samples leading to possible matrix effects. Special attention should be paid to extraction, sample clean-up, chromatography and the choice of internal standards. In ...

A robust Multi-Band Water Index (MBWI) for automated extraction of surface water from Landsat 8 OLI imagery Universiteit Gent
Surface water is vital resources for terrestrial life, while the rapid development of urbanization results in diverse changes in sizes, amounts, and quality of surface water. To accurately extract surface water from remote sensing imagery is very important for water environment conservations and water resource management. In this study, a new Multi-Band Water Index (MBWI) for Landsat 8 Operational Land Imager (OLI) images is proposed by ...
Leaf trichomes of Dendrobium species (epiphytic orchids) in relation to foliar water uptake, leaf surface wettability, and water balance
Vascular epiphytes play an important role in the water and carbon cycles of forest ecosystems. While trichomes are found on the leaf surface of many epiphytic species, few studies have investigated the effect of leaf trichomes on their foliar water uptake, leaf surface wettability, and water balance. In our study, leaf water absorption, storage, and retention capacities, as well as leaf surface wettability of twelve Dendrobium species with ...
Use of surface water in drinking water production associated with municipal Legionnaires' disease incidence Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
STUDY OBJECTIVES: Given an observed geographical variation in Legionnaires' disease incidence in The Netherlands, the aim of the study was to test the hypothesis that the type of drinking water production was an independent determinant of the incidence of Legionnaires' disease.
DESIGN: For the 1987-2005 period, the incidence of Legionnaires' disease in The Netherlands and the price of water as a proxy for production type was studied ...
