Evaluation of land use regression models for NO2 and particulate matter in 20 European study areas: the ESCAPE project (Publications)
Land use regression models (LUR) frequently use leave-one-out-cross-validation (LOOCV) to assess model fit, but recent studies suggested that this may overestimate predictive ability in independent da
Role of highway traffic on spatial and temporal distributions of air pollutants in a Swiss alpine valley (Publications)
Traffic-related air pollutants show high spatial variability near roads, posing a challenge to adequately assess exposures. Recent modeling approaches (e.g. dispersion models, land-use regression (LUR
Inhibitors of adenosine consuming parasites through polymer-assisted N-acylation of N6-substituted 5'-amino-5'-deoxyadenosines (Publications)
A series of 30 adenosine derivatives with three different substituents at the N(6)-position were prepared in order to evaluate their potential to inhibit the pathogenic protozoa Plasmodium falciparum
