Psych-STRATA - A Stratified Treatment Algorithm in Psychiatry: A program on stratified pharmacogenomics in severe mental illness KU Leuven
A key problem in Mental Health is that up to one third of patients suffering from major mental disorders develop resistance against drug therapy. However, patients showing early signs of treatment resistance (TR) do not receive adequate early intensive pharmacological treatment but instead they undergo a stepwise trial-and-error treatment approach. This situation originates from three major knowledge and translation gaps: i.) we lack ...
Impact of a diagnostic algorithm including clinically guided point-of-care C-reactive protein (CRP) testing and safety netting advice on antibiotic prescribing rate and further management of acutely ill children presenting to ambulatory care: multicentre, Ghent University
Beamforming Algorithm Development for Medical Imaging KU Leuven
The recent years have seen mode-localized MEMS research grow. This current focus has its roots on the substantial improvement in sensitivity (up to 3 magnitude orders) and common-mode rejection capabilities of these devices, when compared to regular frequency shift MEMS. These developments find applications in inertial (accelerometers, gyroscopes) and gravimetric sensors - devices used in a broad range of areas, from the automotive industry, ...
Evaluation of distressed enterprises using explainable machine learning: construction of an artificial intelligence algorithm to assist judges in the Belgian Enterprise Courts Ghent University
The Chambers for Distressed Enterprises, operating within each Enterprise Court, have the complex task of investigating distressed enterprises. Their investigation may have important consequences for the enterprise under investigation, since it can be followed by the initiation of bankruptcy or judicial reorganization proceedings. For their investigation, the Chambers for Distressed Enterprises usually have access to the annual accounts of ...
A Volume Integral Equation (VIE) Algorithm to Model the Non-local Electromagnetic Response of Deep Nanometer Scatterers KU Leuven
Since deep-nanometer scale systems are increasingly studied, accurate macroscopic theories dealing with quantum mechanical effects are in high demand. Concerning the electromagnetic nonlocal response of plasmonic nanostructures, several hydrodynamic models (HDM) have been proposed, each introducing an additional boundary condition to describe the collective motion of the electronic gas. In this work, four HDMs, namely the hard wall ...

Multi-modal signal processing algorithms for extraction of coupled sources in combined audio and EEG recordings. KU Leuven
One in five experiences hearing loss. The World Health Organization estimates that this number will increase to one in four in 2050. Luckily, effective hearing devices such as hearing aids and cochlear implants exist with advanced noise suppression and speaker enhancement algorithms that can significantly improve the quality of life of people suffering from hearing loss. State-of-the-art hearing devices, however, underperform in a so-called ...
Graph algorithms for solving the quadratic shortest path problem and related problems Ghent University
The quadratic shortest path problem (QSPP) is a NP-hard problem which aims to find a path between two vertices in a directed graph such that the sum of all pairwise interaction costs of its constituent arcs is minimized. Previous authors have obtained algorithms for solving the QSPP, though these are often limited to special cases and leave room for improvement. This research aims to develop an algorithm that can solve general instances of ...
