'Protesten tegen het Westen in Congo Universiteit Antwerpen
‘De Duivel schoptse voor haar kont. Hoezée, Hoezée, Hoezée!’ : het lied als agitator in Nederlandse twisten, rellen en protesten, 1780-1820 Universiteit Gent
The curse of taxonomic uncertainty in biogeographical studies of free-living terrestrial protists: a case study of testate amoebae from Amsterdam Island Universiteit Antwerpen
Aim A current debate in microbial biogeography contrasts two views concerning the distribution of free-living microorganisms. The first view assumes a ubiquitous distribution, while the second assumes that at least some species have limited geographical distributions. We tested for limited geographical distributions by identifying testate amoebae morphospecies from an extremely remote oceanic island where the potential for endemism is high. ...
Gene and genome evolution in chromalveolate protists Universiteit Gent
Ever since the early days of biological research, comparisons have played an important role in scientic discoveries. Nowadays, with the availability of complete genome sequences, many comparisons are being made at the whole genome level. Such analyses have led to the results presented in this PhD dissertation, entitled "Gene and Genome Evolution in Chromalveolate Protists". Chromalveolates are an important group of protist species that affect ...
Structural comparison of protiated, H/D-exchanged and deuterated human carbonic anhydrase IX Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Human carbonic anhydrase IX (CA IX) expression is upregulated in hypoxic solid tumours, promoting cell survival and metastasis. This observation has made CA IX a target for the development of CA isoform-selective inhibitors. To enable structural studies of CA IX-inhibitor complexes using X-ray and neutron crystallography, a CA IX surface variant (CA IXSV; the catalytic domain with six surface amino-acid substitutions) has been developed that ...
The curse of taxonomic uncertainty in biogeographical studies of free-living terrestrial protists : A case study of testate amoebae from Amsterdam Island Plantentuin Meise / Agentschap Plantentuin Meise
Although Amsterdam Island is among the most remote islands in the world, an extensive inventory of testate amoeba rnorphospecies provided no clear evidence for endemism. On the one hand, our detailed morphometric analysis of the A. dentistoma complex revealed that A. antarctica, a morphospecies previously suggested to display endemism, cannot be confidently distinguished from the cosmopolitan morphospecies A. dentistomma. On the other hand, five ...
The public, the protester, and the bill Universiteit Antwerpen
Legislators adapt their policies and agendas to public priorities. Yet research on dynamic representation usually focuses on the influence of public opinion through surveys leaving out other public opinion signals. We incorporate mobilization of the public through protest. Combining insights from social movement studies and political science, we expect protest not to have a direct effect on attention change in legislative agendas. If anything ...
Le rivolte arabe e le proteste sociali in Marocco Universiteit Gent
Does climate warming stimulate or inhibit soil protist communities? A test on testate amoebae in high-arctic tundra with free-air temperature increase Universiteit Antwerpen
Soil testate amoebae assemblages in a grassland area at Zackenberg (Northeast Greenland) were subjected to simulated climate-warming during the growing season using the Free-Air Temperature Increase technique. Samples were collected in upper (0 3 cm) and deeper (3 6 cm) soil horizons. Mean temperature elevations at 2.5 and 7.5 cm depth were 2.58 ± SD 1.11 and 2.13 ± SD 0.77 °C, respectively, and did not differ significantly. Soil moisture in the ...
