SVM Point-Based Real-time Emotion Detection Universiteit Hasselt

Wout SWINKELS, Luc CLAESEN, Feng Xiao, Haibin Shen
Face recognition is nowadays implemented in security systems to grant access to areas that are only allowed for authorized persons. However an additional layer of security can be added to these systems by detemining if the person in front of the camera is present in real-life and that the detected object is not a 2D representation of that person. Forcing people to interact with the system by for example posing a certain emotion can be an ...

A real-time PCR assay for detection and quantification of Leishmania (Viannia) in skin and mucosal lesions: an exploratory study of parasite load and clinical parameters Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde

M. Jara, V. Adaui, B.M. Valencia, D. Martinez Medina, M. Alba, C. Castrillon, M. Cruz, I. Cruz, Gert Van der Auwera, A Llanos-Cuentas, et al.
Earlier histopathology studies suggest that parasite load may differ between cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) and mucosal leishmaniasis (ML) lesions, and between acute and chronic CL. Formal demonstration requires highly sensitive detection and accurate quantification of Leishmania in human lesional tissue. In this study, we developed a quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) assay targeting the minicircle kinetoplast DNA (kDNA) to detect and quantify ...

Improving specificity of Bordetella pertussis detection using a four target real-time PCR Vrije Universiteit Brussel Universiteit Antwerpen

Helena Martini, Liselot Detemmerman, Oriane Soetens, Erlangga Yusuf, Denis Pierard

The incidence of whooping cough, a contagious respiratory disease caused by Bordetella pertussis, is on the rise despite existing vaccination programmes. Similar, though usually milder, respiratory symptoms may be caused by other members of the Bordetella genus: B. parapertussis, B. holmesii, and B. bronchiseptica. Pertussis diagnosis is mostly done using PCR, but the use of multiple targets is necessary in order to differentiate the ...

First report on the detection and quantification of Verticillium dahliae from Estonian strawberry fields using quantitative real-time PCR Universiteit Gent

Mahyar Mirmajlessi, Inmaculada Larena, Marika Mänd, Evelin Loit
The main aim of this investigation was to develop a SYBRGreen real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay for detection and quantification of Verticillium dahliae directly from affected strawberry roots and soils. The proposed assay utilizes a specifically designed primer pair on the basis of an internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequence. During 2014-2015, plant and soil samples were randomly collected from different areas including Vasula, ...

Detection of Schmallenberg virus in different Culicoides spp. by real-time RT-PCR Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde

N. De Regge, Isra Deblauwe, Reginald De Deken, Pieter Vantieghem, Maxime Madder, Dirk Geysen, F. Smeets, B Losson, T. van den Berg, A.B. Cay, et al.
To identify possible vectors of Schmallenberg virus (SBV), we tested pools containing heads of biting midges (Culicoides) that were caught during the summer and early autumn of 2011 at several places in Belgium by real-time RT-PCR. Pools of heads originating from following species: C. obsoletus complex, C. dewulfi and C. chiopterus were found positive, strongly indicating that these species are relevant vectors for SBV.

Robust and real-time hand detection and tracking in monocular video Universiteit Gent

Vincent Spruyt
In recent years, personal computing devices such as laptops, tablets and smartphones have become ubiquitous. Moreover, intelligent sensors are being integrated into many consumer devices such as eyeglasses, wristwatches and smart televisions. With the advent of touchscreen technology, a new human-computer interaction (HCI) paradigm arose that allows users to interface with their device in an intuitive manner. Using simple gestures, such as swipe ...

Comparison of a new multiplex real-time PCR with the Kato Katz thick smear and copro-antigen ELISA for the detection and differentiation of Taenia spp. in human stools Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde Universiteit Gent

Dinh Ng-Nguyen, Mark A Stevenson, Pierre Dorny, Sarah Gabriël, Tinh Van Vo, Van-Anh Thi Nguyen, Trong Van Phan, Sze Fui Hii, Rebecca J Traub

BACKGROUND: Taenia solium, the cause of neurocysticercosis (NCC), has significant socioeconomic impacts on communities in developing countries. This disease, along with taeniasis is estimated to infect 2.5 to 5 million people globally. Control of T. solium NCC necessitates accurate diagnosis and treatment of T. solium taeniasis carriers. In areas where all three species of Taenia tapeworms (T. solium, Taenia saginata and Taenia asiatica) ...

Detection of allergenic ingredients using real-time PCR Instituut voor Landbouw-, Visserij- en Voedingsonderzoek Universiteit Gent

Céline Platteau, Marc De Loose, Bruno De Meulenaer, Isabel Taverniers
Compliance with the European allergen labeling legislation (Directive 2007/68/EC) is only possible when coupled with appropriate methods to detect allergens in food. The aim of the current study was to develop new real-time PCR assays for the detection of hazelnut and soy and evaluate these assays via comparison with commercially available kits. Although the new assays were not as sensitive as the commercial qualitative assays, they proved to be ...
