Timely processing of observations from multi-spectral imagers, such as SEVIRI (Spinning Enhanced Visible and Infrared Imager), largely depends on fast radiative transfer calculations. This paper mostly concerns the development and implementation of a new forward model for SEVIRI to be applied to real time processing of infrared radiances. The new r...

Objective: Shed light on cognitive deterioration in Accelerated Cognitive Ageing (ACA) in epilepsy from a neuropsychological point of view in order to improve clinical diagnostics. Methods: We compared the IQ-profile including GAI, OPIE IV-premorbid IQ and deterioration-scores of 21 epilepsy patients with ACA with 21 matched epilepsy patients witho...
In the context of demand-side management and geothermal energy production, our proposal is to store thermal energy in shallow alluvial aquifers at shorter frequencies than classical seasonal aquifer thermal energy storage. We first conducted a one-week experiment in a shallow alluvial aquifer, which is characterized by a slow ambient groundwater fl...
Older adults have been found to focus more on positive and less on negative information compared to younger adults. Yet, results on this attentional positivity effect are inconsistent. Since personality has been related to attentional processing in younger adults, we explored whether (mal) adaptive personality traits are also linked to the occurren...
Hematocrit-related issues remain a major barrier for (regulatory) acceptance of the classical dried blood spot (DBS) analysis in the bioanalytical and clinical field. Lately, many attempts to cope with these issues have been made. Throughout this review, an overview is provided on new strategies that try to cope with this hematocrit effect (going f...
The influence of light and temperature on microalgae kinetics has been assessed extensively and many models have been developed. However, limited attention has been paid to the influence of light and temperature on microalgae respiration and growth under conditions inducing (strong) photoinhibition and no clear consensus has been made on which mode...
The technique of Solid-Phase Extraction (SPE) is widely used in various fields to concentrate samples and the search for tools to improve recoveries remains of outmost importance. The use of polymer based cartridges has become prevailing in a broad range of fields to enrich peptides from biological matrices. However, the existing SPE protocols are ...
Background: Aortic shape has been proposed as an important determinant of adverse haemodynamics following coarctation repair. However, previous studies have not demonstrated a consistent relationship between shape and vascular load. In this study, 3D aortic shape was evaluated using principal component analysis (PCA), allowing investigation of the ...
