Preparing for clinical trials with vaginal rings that protect women from HIV and unintended pregnancy Institute of Tropical Medicine
On the eve of the introduction of long-term combination HIV prevention/contraception vaginal rings in Africa, we need to improve our knowledge about the attitude of women in Africa towards the ring and to assess the effect of the ring on the vaginal microbiome.
The overall aim of this trial is to provide data on the acceptability of the vaginal ring in Rwanda and on the effects of such ring on the vaginal microbiome. A clinical trial ...

Groups, Group ringen and the Yang-Baxter equation Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The importance of group rings already became apparent in the work of Molien, Frobenius, Schur and Maschke. The study of group rings also involves several other fields, such as field theory, linear algebra, algebraic number theory, K-theory, ...

How does the structure of a group determine its Reidemeister spectrum? KU Leuven
The concept of conjugacy in a group G has a natural generalisation to so-called twisted conjugacy: given an endomorphism φ ∈ End(G), we put an equivalence relation on G by stating that, for all x, y ∈ G, x∼ y if and only if ∃z∈G:xφ(z)=zy. The number of equivalence classes of ∼φ is called the Reidemeister number of φ and the set of all possible Reidemeister numbers is called the Reidemeister spectrum of G, denoted by SpecR(G). If SpecR(G) = ...
Towards a Predictive Conceptual Model for Polymerization of Cyclic Esters Catalyzed by Group 14 Metal Complexes Vrije Universiteit Brussel
is one of the key challenges of the modern society. Such
biodegradable bioplastics are synthesized via controllable ringopening polymerization (ROP) of cyclic esters. ROP catalyst development has recently been dominated by cationic main group metal complexes. Surprisingly, tin based cationic complexes have
been overlooked so far, despite the fact that the ...
