Serologically Defined Variations in Malaria Endemicity in Pará State, Brazil
BACKGROUND Measurement of malaria endemicity is typically based on vector or parasite measures. A complementary approach is the detection of parasite specific IgG antibodies. We determined the antibody levels and seroconversion rates to both P. vivax and P. falciparum merozoite antigens in individuals living in areas of varying P. vivax endemicity in Pará state, Brazilian Amazon region. METHO...
متن کاملPrevalence of Low Physical Fitness and its Related Factors among Primary School learners in Lagos state, Nigeria
Background and purpose: Current evidence shows physical fitness (PF) among children and adolescents in Africa and around the world is declining and the trend is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to evaluate the baseline PF data of primary school children in Lagos State, Nigeria, and to determine the predictors of low PF within the cohort. Materi...
متن کاملIsodose mapping and its radiological implications in Lagos state, Nigeria
Background: The annual effective dose equivalent (AEDE) due to ionizing radiation in a coaster area in Nigerian has been determined using Geiger-Muller counter. Materials and Methods: isolevels in the study area were represented by using the kriging interpolation technique on ArcGIS 10.1 software. Duncan multiple range test was performed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Res...
متن کاملRate-Distortion Modeling of Binary Shape Using State Partitioning
In this paper, the rate-distortion (R-D) characteristics of binary shapes are modeled. Speciically, we are interested in predicting the rate and distortion that is produced by the shape coding techniques that have been adopted into the MPEG-4 standard. The shape coding algorithm is a context-based arithmetic encoder and operates on a per block basis. Currently, there is no eecient way of estima...
متن کاملMultivariate dependence modeling using copulas
In this contribution we review models for construction of higher dimensional dependence that have arisen recent years. In particular we focus on specific generalized Farlie Gumbel (or Sarmanov) copulas which are generated by a single function (so-called generator or generator function) defined on the unit interval. An alternative approach to generalize the FGM family of copulas is to consider t...
