Exploring how the urban neighborhood environment influences mental well-being using walking interviews
environment and mental well-being. Finally, implications of the walking interview method are discussed. Health Topics: Health and environment Santé et environnement Gezondheid en milieu Service: Risques ...
Heat related mortality in the two largest Belgian urban areas: A time series analysis
until 2011 taking into account the effect of air pollution. Methods The threshold in temperature above which mortality increases was determined using segmented regressions for both urban areas. The ...
Use of Whole Genome Sequencing Data for a First in Silico Specificity Evaluation of the RT-qPCR Assays Used for SARS-CoV-2 Detection.
RT-qPCR methods were developed in January 2020 for initial in silico specificity evaluation and to verify whether the targeted loci are highly conserved. Now that more whole genome data have become ...
Environmental exposures and health behavior in association with mental health: a study design.
exposure and biological aging to explain the associations between environmental exposures, health behavior and mental health. Methods: The study population of this cross-sectional study ( = 1168) is ...
An evaluation of species distribution models to estimate tree diversity at genus level in a heterogeneous urban-rural landscape
these improvements may be related to tree diversity within green spaces, yet spatially explicit diversity data necessary to investigate such associations are often missing. Here, we evaluate two methods ...
An evaluation of species distribution models to estimate tree diversity at genus level in a heterogeneous urban-rural landscape
necessary to investigate such associations are often missing. Here, we evaluate two methods to model tree diversity at genus level based on environmental covariates and presence point data. We aimed to ...

Publication Type: Peer reviewed scientific article Authors: Mieke Van Mulders; Missigba, N. Liodo; Rogiers, V.; Birgit Mertens Source: MethodsX, Volume 7 (2020) Keywords: 3Rs alternative methods ...
Opinion: Airtightness for Decontamination by Fumigation of High-Containment Laboratories
by fumigation. Methods: Biological indicators (BI s) consisting of spores of Geobacillus stearothermophilus on metal disks were laid out in laboratories of different levels of airtightness before performing ...
A systematic evaluation of Flow Field Flow Fractionation and single-particle ICP-MS to obtain the size distribution of organo-mineral iron oxyhydroxide colloids.
study was set up to determine the size of environmentally relevant FeOx colloids with new methods, i.e. Flow Field Flow Fractionation (FlFFF- UV- ICP- MS) and single-particle ICP- MS / MS (sp- ICP- MS) ...
Evaluation of a TEM based Approach for Size Measurement of Particulate (Nano)materials.
approach on the certified reference materials ERM- FD100 and ERM- FD304. The image analysis method was validated in an inter-laboratory study by 19 laboratories, which resulted in a within-laboratory ...
