The political imperative of residents' participation infiltrates the ongoing renovation of post-war housing estates and their surroundings in Brussels. While these participatory processes and results are questionable, residents' lived experience of place is rarely used as leverage. Critically evaluating current social housing renovation strategies,...
The territorial pattern of Chile, which is a chain of basins, is constantly shaped and re-shaped by, among others, earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, flooding, and landslides. Under the context of climate change, it is required to look for innovative solutions to live and build in these dynamics with disadvantaged socio-spatial and economic...
In recent decades, architectural historians have increasingly scrutinised the embassy building program of state actors. Framing an embassy to be the physical manifestation of the state, scholars have examined if and to what extent state actors have approached the commissioning of a purpose-built embassy as an opportunity to radiate nationhood abroa...
Rhizogenic Agrobacterium is the causal agent of the so-called hairy root disease (HRD), which affects mainly hydroponic crops such as tomato, cucumber, and eggplant. The hallmark symptom presented by HRD-infected plants is excessive root development. Even though HRD is capable of causing up to 10% loss in hydroponic tomato crops, this disease has s...
Following on our initial discovery of S-CN-DABOs as non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs), a series of novel S-N3-DABO derivatives F1-F31 were developed by substituting the cyano group of S-CN-DABOs with azide group. Some of these compounds were conferred significantly increased potency against wild-type HIV-1 and clinically obse...
Here, we reported a novel series of "dual-site" binding diarylpyrimidine (DAPY) derivatives targeting both the NNRTI adjacent site and NNRTIs binding pocket (NNIBP). The anti-HIV-1 activity results demonstrated that compound 9e (EC50 = 2.04-61.1 nM) displayed robust potencies against a panel of HIV-1 NNRTIs-resistant strains, being comparable to th...
Bending is a forming process that allows the production of complex sheet metal components through the combination of simple straight bends that are produced with generic tools. As a result of the generic nature of the tools, the process is especially suitable for the production of small batches with high variability. Nevertheless, in such a scenari...
The recent technological progresses in lithography and patterning techniques used in the integration of nanoelectronic devices open the possibility to create complex multilayer stacks and devices, strongly scaled down and whose nanometer scale properties have an unknown impact on the electrical and mechanical performances. Therefore, being able to ...
