Combining (Non)linear Optical and Fluorescence Analysis of DiD To Enhance Lipid Phase Recognition Universiteit Hasselt
The widespread interest in phase recognition of lipid membranes has led to the use of different optical techniques to enable differentiation of healthy and not fully functional cells. In this work, we show how the combination of different (non)linear optical methods such as one-photon absorption (OPA), two-photon absorption (TPA), and second harmonic generation (SHG) as well as the study of the fluorescence decay time leads to an enhanced ...
Perceptual consciousness and cognitive access: an introduction Universiteit Antwerpen
The problem of perceptual consciousness-the question of how our subjective experiences (colours as we see them; sounds as we hear them; tastes, etc., as we feel them) could be accounted for in terms of brain processes-is often regarded as the greatest unsolved mystery of our times. In recent literature, one of the most pressing questions in this regard is whether the neural basis of perceptual consciousness is independent of the neural basis of ...
Increased Insoluble Amyloid-beta Induces Negligible Cognitive Deficits in Old AppNL/NL Knock-In Mice Vlaams Instituut voor Biotechnologie KU Leuven Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Lifespan and age, but not residual reproductive value or condition, are related to behaviour in wild field crickets Universiteit Antwerpen
Individuals frequently show long-term consistency in behaviour over their lifetimes, referred to as personality. Various models, revolving around the use of resources and how they are valued by individuals, attempt to explain the maintenance of these different behavioural types within a population, and evaluating them is the key for understanding the evolution of behavioural variation. The pace-of-life syndrome hypothesis suggests that ...
Cognitive indigenization effects in the English dative alternation KU Leuven
© 2017 Walter de Gruyter GmbH, Berlin/Boston. We advance theory formation in cognitive sociolinguistics by exploring the extent to which language users' probabilistic grammar varies regionally. For this purpose, we investigate the effects of constraints that influence the choice between the two syntactic variants in the well-known dative alternation (I give Mary a book vs. I give a book to Mary) across nine post-colonial varieties of English. ...
Comparison of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy, cognitive behavioral writing therapy, and wait-list in pediatric posttraumatic stress disorder following single-incident trauma: a multicenter randomized clinical trial KU Leuven
BACKGROUND: Practice guidelines for childhood posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) recommend trauma-focused psychotherapies, mainly cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a brief trauma-focused, evidence-based treatment for PTSD in adults, but with few well-designed trials involving children and adolescents. METHODS: We conducted a single-blind, randomized trial with three arms (n = ...
Force-time characteristics during sustained maximal handgrip effort according to age and clinical condition Vrije Universiteit Brussel
BACKGROUND: Muscle fatigue, a prominent symptom in older patients, can be assessed by sustained maximal handgrip testing. The force decline during sustained maximal contraction is described for young adults, but data for elderly persons are scarce. The aim of this study was to investigate force-time characteristics during a sustained maximal handgrip effort according to age and clinical condition.
METHODS AND MATERIALS: Force-time ...
Darwintrees for Action Recognition KU Leuven
© 2017 IEEE. We propose a novel mid-level representation for action/activity recognition on RGB videos. We model the evolution of improved dense trajectory features not only for the entire video sequence, but also on subparts of the video. Subparts are obtained using a spectral divisive clustering that yields an unordered binary tree decomposing the entire cloud of trajectories of a sequence. We then compute videodarwin on video subparts, ...
MA-XRF imaging on Rene Magritte's La condition humaine: insights into the artist's palette and technique and the discovery of a third quarter of La pose enchantee KU Leuven Universiteit Antwerpen
© 2017 The Author(s). Magritte's composition La condition humaine, 1935 was found to conceal under its paint layers an entire quarter of a lost composition by the artist, until recently only known from a small black/white catalogue illustration-La pose enchantée, 1927. This study is the latest contribution to the discovery of the artist's missing painting, now known to have been cut into four parts and re-used by Magritte as the support for new ...
