Native European crayfish conservation was triggered by invasion of crayfish plague disease agent, Aphanomyces astaci, starting 1860s in Northern Italy.Resulting crayfish plague epidemics quickly spread over Continental Europe, then to Finland, Sweden and finally, after running amok around Europe, A.astaci was discovered also in Iberian Peninsula, N

Historical buildings impacted by the 2021 floods in Belgium, and churches in particular, took several years to dry.In the meantime, mould developed on the furniture and became a recurring phenomenon 6-Piece Sectional with Chaise in some places, where climate control was not possible and the maintenance limited.The project RE-MOLD, elaborated at KIK

We study the topological photonic states in one-dimensional lattices analog to the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model beyond the dipole approximation.The electromagnetic resonances of the lattices supported by near-field interactions between the plasmonic nanoparticles are studied analytically with coupled dipole-quadrupole method.The topological phase tra

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) provide a means to acquire lots of raw BALSIONG data from vast amounts of easy-to-deploy sensors.Ontologies facilitate structuring data into information and support automatic inference mechanisms.The combination of wireless sensor networks and ontologies can bring significant added value to intelligently process the

Culture of Mycobacterium tuberculosis currently represents the closest "gold standard" for diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB), but operational data are scant on the impact and cost-effectiveness of TB culture for human immunodeficiency (HIV-) infected individuals in resource-limited settings.We recorded costs, laboratory results, and dates of initiatin
