Development of strain-level shotgun metagenomics approaches to detect and characterize microbiological contaminants in the context of food safety

had only rarely been associated with human cases of an outbreak, let alone during a real outbreak. Therefore, this PhD centered on the development of shotgun metagenomics methods to study ...

In Silico Methods for Chromosome Damage.

results for coumarin are presented in more detail as a case study. Overall, it can be concluded that although they are in general less developed than those for mutagenicity, in silico tools for chromosome ...

Association between temperature and natural mortality in Belgium: Effect modification by individual characteristics and residential environment

mortality being associated to extreme temperatures but the extent to which individual or residential factors modulate this temperature vulnerability is less clear. Methods We conducted a multi-city study with ...

Exposure to green space and pollen allergy symptom severity: A case-crossover study in Belgium

pollen allergy patients are complex and best studied in spatio-temporal detail. Methods: We tracked 144 adults sensitized to Betulaceae pollen during the tree pollen season (January-May) of 2017 and 2018 ...

Human biomonitoring as a tool for objective exposure assessment: A case-study of a major train accident with acrylonitrile in Belgium

In silico tools and transcriptomics analyses in the mutagenicity assessment of cosmetic ingredients: a proof-of-principle on how to add weight to the evidence.

studies. In the case of cosmetics it may even induce the ban of the particular compound since in Europe the use of experimental animals is no longer allowed for cosmetics. In this article, an alternative ...

Agronomic Practices for Improving Gentle Remediation of Trace Element-Contaminated Soils.

field trials demonstrating successful GRO remains well below the number of studies carried out at a greenhouse level. The move from greenhouse to field conditions requires incorporating agronomical ...

Short rotation coppice culture of willows and poplars as energy crops on metal contaminated agricultural soils.

study was to investigate the possibilities of growing willows and poplars under short rotation coppice (SRC) on an acid, poor, sandy metal contaminated soil, to combine in this way soil remediation by ...
