How to select a best-value biological medicine? A practical model to support hospital pharmacists KU Leuven
PURPOSE: With the growing availability of biosimilars on the global market, clinicians and pharmacists have multiple off-patent biological products to choose from. Besides the competitiveness of the product's price, other criteria should be considered when selecting a best-value biological. This article aims to provide a model to facilitate transparent best-value biological selection in the off-patent biological medicines segment. SUMMARY: The ...
The Electro-Fenton Process for Caffeine Removal from Water and Granular Activated Carbon Regeneration KU Leuven
The electro-Fenton process (EF) has faced major challenges, including mass transfer limitations. When the targeted pollutants are present in water at very low concentrations, the degradation kinetics are slower than desired, which leads to high energy consumption. To overcome this drawback, coupled adsorption on activated carbon (AC) and the EF process can be performed. Therefore, the compounds can be preconcentrated on AC before elimination by ...

Isolation and characterization of lignin-rich particles as byproducts of bioethanol production from wheat straw to reinforce starch composite films Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Bioethanol was produced from wheat straw by a concentrated alkali pretreatment at specific conditions with a yield of 88 g ethanol per 1 kg of dry straw. To economically improve the bioethanol production process and valorize residual waste, the lignin-rich solid waste particles were isolated from the pretreatment waste liquid and characterized, and finally employed to reinforce starch-based biodegradable film. The solid waste particles were ...
Exploring the Applicability of the Unified Glare Rating for an Outdoor Non-Uniform Residential Luminaire KU Leuven
The Unified Glare Rating (UGR) and the modified version (UGR’) have been developed and widely accepted in multiple standards for measuring the discomfort glare of a luminaire in typical indoor environments; however, a standardized glare metric for non-uniform outdoor luminaires is still missing. In this paper, the possibility to apply UGR and UGR’ to an outdoor residential luminaire with a non-uniform spatial luminance distribution is explored. ...
Hydrogen Borrowing: towards Aliphatic Tertiary Amines from Lignin Model Compounds Using a Supported Copper Catalyst KU Leuven Universiteit Antwerpen
Upcoming biorefineries, such as lignin-first provide renewable aromatics containing unique aliphatic alcohols. In this context, a Cu-ZrO2 catalyzed hydrogen borrowing approach was established to yield tertiary amine from the lignin model monomer 3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-1-propanol and the actual lignin-derived monomers, (3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1-propanol and dihydroconiferyl alcohol), with dimethylamine. Various industrial metal catalysts were ...
A Review on Digitalization Approaches for Battery Manufacturing Processes Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Lithium ion batteries (LiBs) continue to be the most advanced technology in the battery systems as the world rushes to meet the diverse and expanding demands of the energy storage solutions. Research institutions, academia and industries requires a safer, high-performance and cheaper LiBs to accelerate the transition from oil-based to an electrical-based economy. Because of some interdependent electrochemical kinetics involved in the LiB ...
From Industrial Compounds to Public Facilities: Insights On Reconversion Projects And Their Effects On The Relationship With The Urban Surroundings Through Architectural Strategies. Learning From Case Studies In Barcelona. KU Leuven
Industrial compounds have traditionally been designed as large-scale projects to accommodate secluded spaces for production. During recent decades, coinciding with the relocation of manufacturing infrastructures outside the city, many urban developments have focused on the reconversion of historic post-industrial sites. Different aspects of industrial reconversion have been studied in the past: technical aspects of stability, sustainability, ...
