Development of novel analytical methods to trace small micro- and nanoplastics in food matrices
human health. Most of the produced plastics are used for packaging items, from cosmetic to food applications. Up to now, the most common plastics used for packaging have been petroleum-derived, such as ...
Novel prediction models for genotoxicity based on biomarker genes in human HepaRG™ cells.
misleading positive chemicals exposed at their IC10 concentration was determined. In addition, the applicability of both prediction models on a publicly available gene expression dataset, generated with ...

Mapping abundance distributions of allergenic tree species in urbanized landscapes: A nation-wide study for Belgium using forest inventory and citizen science data
risk posed by green spaces and pave the way for a wide variety of applications at fine-scale, which is indispensable for evidence-based urban green space policy and planning in support of public health. ...
METROFOOD-RI: Pilot services with physical, remote and virtual access
mainly addressed to researchers, laboratories, food inspection agencies and policy makers: a search engine and database for agrifood reference materials and official methods an application programming ...
An evaluation of species distribution models to estimate tree diversity at genus level in a heterogeneous urban-rural landscape
a higher model quality. Generic tree diversity estimates were better when presences derived from distribution models were simply added up (binary stacking, True Positive Rate of 0.903). The application of ...
An evaluation of species distribution models to estimate tree diversity at genus level in a heterogeneous urban-rural landscape
simply added up (binary stacking, True Positive Rate of 0.903). The application of macro-ecological constraints resulted in an underestimation of generic tree diversity (probability stacking, True Positive ...
