Sequential intra-arterial infusion of 90Y-resin microspheres and mitomycin C in chemo refractory liver metastatic breast cancer patients: a single centre pilot study KU Leuven
Background The aim of the study was to evaluate the safety and feasibility of intra-arterial mitomycin C (MMC) infusion after selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) using Yttrium-90 (90Y) resin microspheres in liver metastatic breast cancer (LMBC) patients. Patients and methods The prospective pilot study included LMBC patients from 2012-2018. Patients first received infusion of 90Y resin microspheres, after 6-8 weeks response to treatment ...
Non basta dire partecipazione. Le condizioni di possibilità delle pratiche partecipative mediate Vrije Universiteit Brussel
La diffusione dei «nuovi» media online ha suscitato un ottimismo generalizzato riguardo le loro potenzialità sociali e partecipative, spingendo a preconizzare un'evoluzione del paradigma comunicativo dal modello mass-mediatico a quello many-to-many. Ma, come già accaduto in passato, la riscoperta della partecipazione pone una serie di problemi teoretici, concettuali ed empirici. La partecipazione è diventata - se non del tutto, almeno in parte - ...
Gecombineerde analyse van Myelin Water Imaging en geavanceerde Diffusie MRI in ziekte en gezondheid KU Leuven
The ability to visualize the brain in vivo using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been of great importance both in clinical practice and research. Yet imaging is often limited to describing the macrostructure, at spatial resolutions of 1 mm. To unravel the anatomy at a sub-voxel level we are bound to inferring information in an indirect manner. Diffusion MRI (dMRI) quantifies the random motion of water molecules, which contains ...
Microfluidic Validation of the Diffusional Bridging Effect Suppressing Dispersion in Multicapillary Flow Systems Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The efficiency of liquid chromatography separations could be strongly improved by changing the current packed bed columns by a bundle of parallel capillary tubes. In practice, however, the polydispersity effect, which emanates from the inevitable small differences in capillary diameter, completely ruins this potential. The concept of diffusional bridging, introducing a diffusive cross talk between adjacent capillaries, has recently been ...
A two-phase stochastic model to describe mass transport and kinetics during reactive processing of polyolefins Ghent University
Free radical induced grafting (FRIG) of polyolefins is described at industrially relevant time scales at which phase segregation occurs, leading to the formation of a monomer-and polyolefin-rich phase. The mass transfer of oligomeric species is accounted for using overall average mass transfer coefficients. Model validation is illustrated for FRIG with a non-homopolymerizable monomer based on experimental data on monomer conversion and ...
In situ monitoring of dynamics in redox chemistry by fluorescence micro- and nanoscopy KU Leuven
De complexe aard van heterogene katalysatoren heeft altijd al een grote uitdaging gevormd voor wetenschappers. De overvloed aan verschillende ad sorptie- en reactiesites, verscholen in het complexe labyrinth van micro - en mesoporiën, is aan de ene kant cruciaal gebleken voor het inbouwen met hoge dispersiegraad van verscheidene actieve groepen. In bepaalde ge vallen bleken de sites zelf reeds een uitzonderlijke katalytische activi teit te ...
The diffusional properties of dendrites depend on the density of dendritic spines University of Antwerp
We combined computational modeling and experimental measurements to determine the influence of dendritic structure on the diffusion of intracellular chemical signals in mouse cerebellar Purkinje cells and hippocamal CA1 pyramidal cells. Modeling predicts that molecular trapping by dendritic spines causes diffusion along spiny dendrites to be anomalous and that the value of the anomalous exponent (dw) is proportional to spine density in both cell ...
Autorità e auctoritas. Un approccio discorsivo al dinamismo politico-letterario dei poemi eroici italiani sulle guerre asburgiche in Europa (1530-1630). KU Leuven
This thesis investigates the interaction between different kinds of authority in Italian, narrative heroic poems, written between 1530 and 1630, on contemporary Habsburg wars in Europe.The analysed corpus consists of approximately forty poems, that concern the siege of Tunis (1535), the Guelders wars, (1542-3), the Smalcaldic conflict (1546-7), the war of Cyprus (1570-71), and the military campaign in the Low Countries commanded by Alexander ...
The role of immigration news as a contextual-level factor for anti-immigrant attitudes: The effect of tone and threat frames KU Leuven
The main objective of this PhD dissertation is to apply theories from intergroup relations literature to media effect studies to obtain a better insight in how immigration news coverage as an aspect of the intergroup context affects native citizens’ attitudes toward immigration. The primary research question is as follows: how does immigration news coverage as a contextual-level factor contribute to attitudes toward immigration. This research ...
