Handboek 'Monitoring van structuren en elementen met optische vezels' WTCB (Wetenschappelijk en Technisch Centrum voor het Bouwbedrijf)
This handbook attempts to provide a guide for those who are new to the world of optical fiber technology. However, even for more experienced users, this document will contain useful information. The document has been prepared with the aim of lowering the threshold to apply or prescribe optical fiber sensing technology by summarizing and widely disseminating the current knowledge. Besides an overview of the most common optical fiber sensing ...

Interfacial Adhesion in Natural and Synthetic Fibre Composites: a Physical-Chemical-Mechanical Approach (Grensvlakhechting in natuurlijke en synthetische vezel composieten: een fysisch-chemisch-mechanische methodiek) KU Leuven
Natural fibres are a realistic and ecological alternative to synthetic fibres as reinforcement for polymer composite materials due to their low cost, environmental friendliness, natural abundance, and mechanical properties. The latter allows the design of composite materials to meet specific mechanical properties. For instance, bamboo exhibits a combination of low density (~1.4 g/cm³) and high stiffness (~43 GPa) and strength (~800 MPa), while ...
Absence of ApoE upregulates murine brain ApoD and ABCA1 levels, but does not affect brain sterol levels, while human ApoE3 and human ApoE4 upregulate brain cholesterol precursor levels KU Leuven
Apolipoprotein E (apoE) is a regulator of peripheral cholesterol homeostasis, and the apoE-isoform E4 is a major risk factor for the development of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Accumulating evidence suggests a key role for aberrant cholesterol metabolism in AD. We hypothesized that apoE-deficiency in mice not only affects cholesterol homeostasis in the periphery, but also in the brain, and that this can be restored by astrocyte-specific expression ...

Increased Levels of the Parkinson's Disease-Associated Gene ITPKB Correlate with Higher Expression Levels of α-Synuclein, Independent of Mutation Status KU Leuven
Autosomal dominant mutations in the gene encoding α-synuclein (SNCA) were the first to be linked with hereditary Parkinson's disease (PD). Duplication and triplication of SNCA has been observed in PD patients, together with mutations at the N-terminal of the protein, among which A30P and A53T influence the formation of fibrils. By overexpressing human α-synuclein in the neuronal system of Drosophila, we functionally validated the ability of ...
