Development and validation of a HS/GC-MS method for the simultaneous analysis of diacetyl and acetylpropionyl in electronic cigarette refills
The use of e-cigarettes as alternative for tobacco cigarettes has become increasingly popular, even though their safety has not yet been scientifically established. One of the frequently raised concerns ...
Discrimination of three genetically close Aspergillus species by using high resolution melting analysis applied to indoor air as case study.
therefore important. To avoid problems linked to culture-dependent protocols, molecular methods are increasingly being proposed as an alternative. Among these molecular methods, the polymerase chain reaction ...
(Q)SAR tools for priority setting: A case study with printed paper and board food contact material substances.
(e.g. industrial chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food, cosmetics, …) have triggered the need for an efficient screening strategy to prioritize the substances of highest concern. In this context, alternative ...
Chromatographic fingerprinting as a strategy to identify regulated plants in illegal herbal supplements.
herbal alternatives. Furthermore, herbal supplements are increasingly gaining popularity in industrialized countries and, as a consequence, quality control is a highly important issue. Unfortunately, this ...
Consensus numbering system for the rifampicin resistance-associated rpoB gene mutations in pathogenic mycobacteria.
in mycobacteria leads to misunderstandings, particularly with the increasing use of whole genome sequencing, which brought an alternative numbering system based on the Mycobacterium tuberculosis rpoB ...
Persistence of antimicrobial resistance in respiratory streptococci.
treatment with penicillins or cephalosporins, which confirms the findings from prospective studies and suggests the use of routinely collected data as a valuable alternative to determine such differences in ...
Development of molecular tools for rapid detection and quantification of indoor airborne molds to assess their impact on public health
a valuable alternative. In this PhD work, different molecular tools were developed, from simplex to multiplex, to detect and identify indoor airborne fungi. The goal was to improve the detection of fungal ...
Modulation de l’activité transcriptionelle de récepteurs nucléaires par les produits de migration de matériaux en plastique destinés aux jeunes enfants
dans le résidu de migration de biberons en plastique non PC. Dans cette thèse, une étude de marché a tout d’abord été réalisée pour identifier les alternatives au PC présentes sur le marché belge. Les ...
