Hot water storage for increased electricity production with organic Rankine cycle from intermittent residual heat sources in the steel industry Universiteit Gent
The transnational production and reception of “a future classic”: Stefan Hertmans’ War and Turpentine in thirty languages KU Leuven
This article proposes a sociological model for understanding the circulation of a single widely translated book, from local creation to transnational production and reception. Reconstructing the career of War and Turpentine by the Dutch-speaking Belgian author Stefan Hertmans, it examines the book’s circulation as a process mediated through a transnational literary field linking the literary field of the original and the many separate yet ...
PLAYING WITH URBAN COMPLEXITIES - Reflections on Spatial Knowledge Production, Capabilities and Gamified Participatory Artefacts in a Capacity Building Process Universiteit Hasselt
In her book, The Death and Life of American Cities (1961), Jane Jacobs draws attention to the socio-economic ‘dynamics of decline’ cities are subject to, when ignoring the ‘social capital’ and the ‘locality knowledge’ of its people. Jacobs underlines this as the unpredictability factor of an ecosystem and makes detailed observations on the dynamics of urbanisation and economy and on ‘how cities and their economies work at the micro level’ ...
Ursolic acid induces the production of IL6 and chemokines in both adipocytes and adipose tissue KU Leuven
Adipose tissue inflammation plays an important role in the regulation of glucose and lipids metabolism. It is unknown whether Ursolic acid (UA) could regulate adipose tissue inflammation, though it can regulate inflammation in many other tissues. In this study, 3T3-L1 adipocytes, DIO mice and lean mice were treated with UA or vehicle. Gene expression of inflammatory factors, chemokines and immune markers in adipocytes and adipose tissue, ...
Measuring the economic impact of climate change on crop production in the dry zone of Myanmar : a Ricardian approach Universiteit Gent
Myanmar is the country with the highest economic vulnerability (EV) to climate change in the Southeast Asian region. The dry zone of Myanmar occupies two-thirds of the agricultural lands and it has higher temperatures than elsewhere in the country. Climate change has severe impacts on agricultural production in this region. Moreover, changes in the precipitation patterns increase the likelihood of crop failures in the short-run and production ...
Seasonal variability and sources of in situ brGDGT production in a permanently stratified African crater lake Universiteit Gent
Lake sediments are important archives of continental climate history, and their lipid biomarker content can be exploited to reconstruct paleoenvironmental conditions. Branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (brGDGTs) are bacterial membrane lipids widely used in paleoclimate studies to reconstruct past temperature. However, major gaps still exist in our understanding of the environmental controls on in situ (i.e. aquatic) production in ...
Potato cyst nematodes : a new threat to potato production in East Africa Universiteit Gent
Potato cyst nematodes (PCN), such as Globodera rostochiensis and Globodera pallida, are quarantine restricted pests of potato causing major yield and financial losses to farmers. G. rostochiensis was first reported from Kenya's key potato growing area in 2015. We sought to determine the diversity, prevalence and distribution of PCN species across the country by conducting a country-wide survey between 2016 and 2018, which included a more ...
