Clinical disease activity, C-reactive protein normalisation and mucosal healing in Crohn's disease in the SONIC trial KU Leuven
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) has been criticised due to heavy weighting on subjective clinical symptoms. C-reactive protein (CRP) and endoscopic lesions are objective measures of inflammation. We investigated the relationships between clinical disease activity, CRP normalisation and mucosal healing in Crohn's disease (CD). METHODS: The Study of Biologic and Immunomodulator Naive Patients in CD trial compared ...
A priori vs. a posteriori normalisation of citation indicators KU Leuven
wo paradigmatic approaches to the normalisation of citation-impact measures are discussed. The results of the mathematical manipulation of standard indicators such as citation means, notably journal Impact Factors, (called a posteriori normalisation) are compared with citation measures obtained from fractional citation counting (called a priori normalisation). The distributions of two subfields of the life sciences and mathematics are chosen for ...
Normalisation of real-time RT-PCR gene expression measurements in Arabidopsis thaliana exposed to increased metal concentrations Universiteit Hasselt
Accurate quantification by real-time RT-PCR relies on normalisation of the measured gene expression data. Normalisation with multiple reference genes is becoming the standard, but the best reference genes for gene expression studies within one organism may depend on the applied treatments or the organs and tissues studied. Ideally, reference genes should be evaluated in all experimental systems. A number of candidate reference genes for ...
Feature detection on 3D face surfaces for pose normalisation and recognition KU Leuven
This paper presents a SIFT algorithm adapted for 3D surfaces (called meshSIFT) and its applications to 3D face pose normalisation and recognition. The algorithm allows reliable detection of scale space extrema as local feature locations. The scale space contains the mean curvature in each vertex on different smoothed versions of the input mesh. The meshSIFT algorithm then describes the neighbourhood of every scale space extremum in a feature ...
Quantitative STEM normalisation Universiteit Antwerpen
Annular dark-field (ADF) scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) has become widely used in quantitative studies based on the opportunity to directly compare experimental and simulated images. This comparison merely requires the experimental data to be normalised and expressed in units of fractional beam-current. However, inhomogeneities in the response of electron detectors can complicate this normalisation. The quantification procedure ...
Normalisation of magnetic field distribution generated by circular current loop KU Leuven
Normalised expressions for magnetic field distributions generated by a circular current loop are presented. It is demonstrated that these distributions only depend on two normalised, dimensionless parameters, with the radius of the loop as the normalisation variable. Graphical analysis of these distributions leads to a simple set of guidelines, which significantly facilitates the design of systems containing circular current loops. © The ...

Real-time loudness normalisation with combined cochlear implant and hearing aid stimulation KU Leuven
Background People who use a cochlear implant together with a contralateral hearing aid—so-called bimodal listeners—have poor localisation abilities and sounds are often not balanced in loudness across ears. In order to address the latter, a loudness balancing algorithm was created, which equalises the loudness growth functions for the two ears. The algorithm uses loudness models in order to continuously adjust the two signals to loudness ...
