There is a growing public health need for effective preventive interventions against dengue, and a safe, effective and affordable dengue vaccine against the four serotypes would be a significant achievement for disease prevention and control. Two tetravalent dengue vaccines, Dengvaxia (CYD-TDV-Sanofi Pasteur) and DENVax (TAK 003-Takeda Pharmaceutic...

13 Recycled Concrete Aggregates are highly porous and may therefore absorb more water 14 than natural aggregates. Several methods allow for the measurement of water 15 absorption requiring drying at temperature above ambient conditions. We show here 16 that, for temperatures above the ambient temperature (> 30°C) and at low relative 17 humidity, th...
Indoor plants can be used to monitor atmospheric particulates. Here, we report the label-free detection of combustion-derived particles (CDPs) on plants as a monitoring tool for indoor pollution. First, we measured the indoor CDP deposition on Atlantic ivy leaves (Hedera hibernica) using two-photon femtosecond microscopy. Subsequently, to prove its...

Development and commercialization of self-healing concrete is hampered due to a lack of standardized test methods. Six inter-laboratory testing programs are being executed by the EU COST action SARCOS, each focusing on test methods for a specific self-healing technique. This paper reports on the comparison of tests for mortar and concrete specimens...
Mouse models are frequently used to study mechanisms of human diseases. Recently, we observed a spontaneous bimodal variation in liver weight in C57BL/6JOlaHsd mice fed a semisynthetic diet. We now characterized the spontaneous variation in liver weight and its relationship with parameters of hepatic lipid and bile acid (BA) metabolism. In male C57...

Leaflet shapes of tomato plants (Solanum lycopersicum) have been reduced to simple geometric shapes in previous functional-structural plant models (FSPMs) in order to facilitate measurements and reduce the time required to reconstruct the plant virtually. The level of error that such simplifications introduce remains unaddressed. This study therefo...
Developing carbon dioxide (CO2) capture technologies has caused worldwide interest because of the baneful influence of CO2 on climate change as a main greenhouse gas. Ionic liquids (ILs) are considered as potential absorbents for CO2 capture because of their unique properties compared with current amine-based solvents. In this work, new dianionic-f...
