4DEMON: Integrating 40 Years of Data on PCB and Metal Contamination in Marine Sediments of the Belgian Part of the North Sea

highly standardized trend modeling approaches like those proposed by regional sea conventions such as OSPAR, named after the Oslo and Paris conventions.Therefore, we applied alternative approaches, ...

Whole Genome Sequencing Provides an Added Value to the Investigation of Staphylococcal Food Poisoning Outbreaks

during SFP outbreak investigation. Although confirming the production of enterotoxins remains important for SFP investigation, we delivered a proof-of-concept that WGS is a valid alternative and/or ...

Evaluating SARS-CoV-2 spike and nucleocapsid proteins as targets for antibody detection in severe and mild COVID-19 cases using a Luminex bead-based assay.

(e.g. virus neutralization assays), or are expensive with suboptimal specificity (e.g. commercial ELISA s and RDT s). Bead-based assays offer a cost-effective alternative and allow for multiplexing to ...

Production of Alternaria Toxins in Yellow Peach (Amygdalus persica) upon Artificial Inoculation with Alternaria alternate

chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC- MS / MS). The results showed that the growth of A. alternate and the AT s production were dramatically affected by the storage temperature. At 28 °C, the fungi grew rapidly ...

Identifying nanodescriptors to predict the toxicity of nanomaterials: a case study on titanium dioxide

the development of alternative testing strategies such as computational (predictive) models based on in vitro testing. However, the variations in in vitro experimental conditions can influence the ...

Characterisation of diphtheria monoclonal antibodies as a first step towards the development of an in vitro vaccine potency immunoassay.

having been specifically developed as alternatives to in vivo potency tests. These methods require at least one well characterised monoclonal antibody (mAb) that is specific for the target antigen. In this ...

Comparing health insurance data and health interview survey data for ascertaining chronic disease prevalence in Belgium.

’s CD s case definitions are an acceptable alternative to identify cases of diabetes, CVD s, Parkinson’s disease and thyroid disorders but yield in a significant underestimated number of patients ...

Chemical and toxciological characterization of e-liquid cigarettes

(diacetyl and acetylpropionyl) which are toxic when inhaled are also present. In order to analyse the composition of the e-cigarettes and to check the e-liquids for the abovementioned issues, alternative ...
