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 ...

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 ...
