extremal region detection guided by maxima of gradient magnitude

a problem of computer vision applications is to detect regions of interest under dif- ferent imaging conditions. the state-of-the-art maximally stable extremal regions (mser) detects affine covariant regions by applying all possible thresholds on the input image, and through three main steps including: 1) making a component tree of extremal regions’ evolution (enumeration), 2) obtaining region ...

80 under 40 by 2020: an equity agenda for NCDs and injuries.

In May, 2013, the World Health Assembly approved a global monitoring and evaluation framework for prevention and control of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). This framework calls for a 25% reduction in deaths from cardiovascular diseases, chronic respiratory diseases, cancer, and diabetes in individuals aged 30–70 years by 2025, or “25 × 25”. Although we applaud this eff ort, we do not feel tha...

Schistosomiasis elimination by 2020 or 2030?

Schistosomiasis has been a public health burden in a number of countries across the globe for centuries and probably beyond. The World Health Organization and partners are currently preparing to move towards elimination of this disease. However, given the historical challenges and barriers to ridding areas of this water-borne parasite infection, we question whether the current targets for elimi...
