Settlement Patterns in the greater Dayr al-Barsha region. An archaeological investigation of settlement dynamics in the northeastern Hare nome KU Leuven
Ancient Egypt is a land of temples, pyramids and mummies. But these extraordinary achievements were generated by a society which remains poorly understood. Barely studied questions concern the form and nature of settlement patterns and its embeddedness in the environment. Egyptology has usually approached such daily life issues based on texts and tomb scenes, but these invariably derive from the context of the elite, and only draw a very ...
Automated reaction network generation of hetero-atomic mixtures using 3D representations of molecules Ghent University
Scope
The chemical industry is facing several important challenges in the coming decade, mainly as a result of the tremendous impact of society on the environment, but also to maintain current living standards taking in to account the economic viability of chemical processes. These challenges
entail the use of alternative feedstocks compared to the conventional fossil resources, and the design and optimization of chemical ...
Functional characterization of MALT1 and CARD14 in psoriasis Ghent University
Psoriasis is an auto-inflammatory disease that affects skin and other organs and leads to impaired quality of life. Approximately 2 to 3% of the worldwide population suffers from this debilitating condition, the origins and causes of which are currently poorly understood. Recently, a gene called CARD14 (=CARMA2) has been identified as a psoriasis susceptibility gene. Little is known about the biochemical function and physiological role of the ...
Basis for remediation of sites contaminated with potentially toxic elements in Zimapan (Hidalgo, Mexico): an interdisciplinary approach Hasselt University
Genetics and physiology of bimodal protein targeting in yeasts. Studies on the basic mechanisms and possible therapeutic developments. KU Leuven
Cytochrome P450s (CYPs) are proteins that play an enormous role in our life. They synthesize many of our endogenous chemicals, they inactivate most of the drugs we assume (i.e., that’s the reason why the pain killers we take lose potency after a few hours), and also detoxify dangerous pesticides we come frequently in contact with, making our bodies capable of flushing them away CYPs reside mostly in an intracellular organelle called ...
