Resprouting of woody species encroaching temperate European grasslands after cutting and burning University of Antwerp
Questions Are there interspecific differences in resprouting after cutting and burning among woody species encroaching temperate grasslands? Are alien woody species more successful than natives in their resprouting after the two treatments proposed to control shrub encroachment? Is resprouting influenced by age of the individuals? Does resprouting differ between cutting and burning? Location Temperate grasslands encroached by shrubs, ...
A parallel for loop memory template for a high level synthesis compiler Ghent University
We propose a parametrized memory template for applications with parallel 'for' loops. The template's parameters reflect important trade-offs made during system design. The template is incorporated in our high level synthesis (HLS) compiler, where the template's parameters are adjusted to the application. The template fits parallel 'for' loops with no loop dependencies and sequential bodies. We found two alternative template implementations using ...
Amplification Efficiency and Template Accessibility as Distinct Causes of Rain in Digital PCR: Monte Carlo Modeling and Experimental Validation Interuniversity Microelectronics Centre KU Leuven Flanders Institute for Biotechnology
Partitions in digital PCR (dPCR) assays do not reach the detection threshold at the same time. This heterogeneity in amplification results in intermediate endpoint fluorescence values (i.e., rain) and misclassification of partitions, which has a major impact on the accuracy of nucleic acid quantification. Rain most often results from a reduced amplification efficiency or template inaccessibility; however, exactly how these contribute to rain has ...
Measurement of the top quark mass at CDF using the "neutrino $\phi$ weighting" template method on a lepton plus isolated track sample University of Antwerp
We present a measurement of the top quark mass with tt̅ dilepton events produced in pp̅ collisions at the Fermilab Tevatron (√s=1.96 TeV) and collected by the CDF II detector. A sample of 328 events with a charged electron or muon and an isolated track, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.9 fb-1, are selected as tt̅ candidates. To account for the unconstrained event kinematics, we scan over the phase space of the azimuthal angles ...
Anet: A Deep Neural Network for Automatic 3D Anthropometric Measurement Extraction Vrije Universiteit Brussel
3D Anthropometric measurement extraction is of paramount importance for several applications such as clothing design, online garment shopping, and medical diagnosis, to name a few. State-of-the-art 3D anthropometric measurement extraction methods estimate the measurements either through some landmarks found on the input scan or by fitting a template to the input scan using optimization-based techniques. Finding landmarks is very sensitive to ...
Deep Learning-Based Automated Extraction of Anthropometric Measurements from a Single 3D Scan Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The appearance of 3D scanners, generating point clouds, has revolutionized anthropometric data collection systems and its applications. Anthropometric data is of paramount importance in several applications, including fashion design, medical diagnosis and virtual character modelling, all of which require an fully-automatic anthropometric measurement extraction method. 3D-based methods for anthropometric measurement extraction become more and ...
Measurement of the W-boson mass in pp collisions at root s=7 TeV with the ATLAS detector KU Leuven
A measurement of the mass of the W boson is presented based on proton-proton collision data recorded in 2011 at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV with the ATLAS detector at the LHC, and corresponding to 4.6 fb - ...
Measurement of the cross-section for producing a W boson in association with a single top quark in pp collisions at root s=13 TeV with ATLS KU Leuven
© 2018, The Author(s). The inclusive cross-section for the associated production of a W boson and top quark is measured using data from proton-proton collisions at s=13 TeV. The dataset corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 3.2 fb−1, and was collected in 2015 by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. Events are selected requiring two opposite sign isolated leptons and at least one jet; they are separated into signal and ...
