Patellofemoral pain (PFP) is very prevalent amongst the general population (23%) and even more in certain sport activities (up to 35% in elite cycling). The aetiology is thought to be a “complex interplay among various anatomical, biomechanical, psychological, social and behavioural influences”. A recent paper summarised the biomechanical factors that could lead to an elevated patellofemoral joint loading and supposedly to patellofemoral ...
The 5-year survival rates of patients with metastatic melanoma are still about 30%. The major reason for the low survival rate of melanoma patients is intrinsic and acquired resistance to the existing therapies. It is therefore essential to develop new therapeutic strategies that will help eradicating resistant cells. By single-cell RNA sequencing of BRAF mutant patient-derived xenograft (PDX) melanoma models analysis we obtained the lncRNA ...
Organic-inorganic interactions, which refer to the reactions that participate in alteration processes in sandstone reservoirs, have been studied in sedimentary basins for many years. These organic-inorganic interactions create or destroy the porosity and permeability of sandstone reservoirs. In this project, we will sample comparable sedimentary successions with sandstone/shale and sandstone/coal relationships that have been buried at ...
Colorectal cancer is a serious heath problem in industrialized countries. Worldwide it is the second most common cancer in women and the third in men. Approximately 35% of these tumors originated in the rectum. There are several treatment strategies for rectal cancer, depending on the location and the stage of the tumor. Since amny years, low anterior resection (LAR) of the rectum with total mesorectal excision (TME) is the gold standard for ...
Semiconductor device fabrication still follows the Moore’s law to increase the process yield by increasing the number of cleaning steps to minimize the number of surface defects. Process induced defect (PID) is a characterization term defined as the main failure mechanism toward efficient cleaning rinsing and drying process. Source of defects might be extrinsic, which represent all contaminations coming from water, ambient and the surface ...
The objective of this PhD is to perform a deterministic seismic hazard assessment in comparison with existing probabilistic hazard assessments for the specific case of the Mol-Dessel site, which comprises different nuclear industries. In the rare case of a large earthquake, these might pose a threat to population and environment.
The expected results will consist in ground motion response spectra at the ground surface of the Mol-Dessel ...
