Work outcome in patients with ankylosing spondylitis : results from a 12-year followup of an international study Universiteit Gent
Faster P300 classifier training using LCMV beamforming KU Leuven
The Linearly-Constrained Minimum-Variance (LCMV) beamformer is traditionally used as a spatial filter for source localization, but here we consider its spatiotemporal extension for P300 classification. We compare two variants and show that the spatiotemporal LCMV beamformer is at par with state-of- the-art P300 classifiers, but several orders of magnitude faster in training the classifier.
Deep dynamic neural networks for multimodal gesture segmentation and recognition Universiteit Gent
This paper describes a novel method called Deep Dynamic Neural Networks (DDNN) for multimodal gesture recognition. A semi-supervised hierarchical dynamic framework based on a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) is proposed for simultaneous gesture segmentation and recognition where skeleton joint information, depth and RGB images, are the multimodal input observations. Unlike most traditional approaches that rely on the construction of complex handcrafted ...
Crisis? What crisis? Restructuring the German welfare system in times of unexpected prosperity KU Leuven
© Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2016. Crisis-What crisis? With the benefit of hindsight, it is easy to state that the fiscal and economic crisis since 2007 has not shown an extensive influence on the German welfare system. It has to be kept in mind that the main crisis of the German welfare state lay already in the late 1990s and early 2000s, when the country was internationally portrayed as a ‘conservative welfare state’ par ...
The choice of spitzenkandidaten: A comparative analysis of the Europarties' selection procedures KU Leuven
© 2016 by the authors; licensee Cogitatio (Lisbon, Portugal). The selection of leading candidates by the political families, the so-called Spitzenkandidaten, is relatively groundbreak-ing as it is the first form of political recruitment organized at the EU level. The literature on candidate selection proce-dures has so far concentrated on national parties and their procedures. To our knowledge the analytical model has not yet been applied at the ...
Peer-assisted Learning in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation: The Jigsaw Model KU Leuven
Training a large cohort of the population could, over time, increase the rate of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
Health and climate related ecosystem services provided by street trees in the urban environment Universiteit Gent KU Leuven
Urban tree planting initiatives are being actively promoted as a planning tool to enable urban areas to adapt to and mitigate against climate change, enhance urban sustainability and improve human health and well-being. However, opportunities for creating new areas of green space within cities are often limited and tree planting initiatives may be constrained to kerbside locations. At this scale, the net impact of trees on human health and the ...
