In the present paper, we evaluate the relationship between climate variables and population density of Lutzomyia longipalpis in Montes Claros, an area of active transmission of American visceral leishmaniasis (AVL) in Brazil. Entomological captures were performed in 10 selected districts of the city, between September 2002-August 2003. A total of 773 specimens of L. longipalpiswere captured in ...

Since transfers increase the connectivity of routes, they improve characteristics transit networks. Designing and managing are well-investigated issues arising at tactical operational level. Conversely, monitoring phase was rarely faced to verify consistency between well planned and/or delivered transfers. In this paper, we tailor an innovative methodology for measuring rate two routes by using...

Smart card data from the Automatic Fare Collecting systems (AFC) and timetable information, such as Vehicle Location (AVL), are used in combination by practitioners researchers to gain a deeper understanding of public transit network. In some cases, AVL not available due records being missing system. people resort schedule General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) match smart Since delays or ch...

The American visceral leishmaniasis (AVL) is caused by parasites belonging to the genus Leishmania (Trypanosomatidae) and is transmitted to humans through the bite of certain species of infected phlebotomine sand flies. In this study, we investigated the natural infection ratio of Lutzomyia longipalpis, the main vector species of AVL in Brazil, in Várzea Grande, Mato Grosso State. Between July ...

The hierarchy is often used to infer knowledge from groups of items and relations in varying granularities. Hierarchical clustering algorithms take an input of pairwise data-item similarities and output a hierarchy of the data-items. This paper presents Bidirectional agglomerative hierarchical clustering to create a hierarchy bottom-up, by iteratively merging the closest pair of data-items into...

The influence of Q wave acute anteroseptal myocardial infarction (MI) on the sensitivity of the voltage electrocardiographic criteria of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) was assessed in this study. Patients with Q wave acute anteroseptal myocardial infarction but without echocardiographic (echo) LVH, showed augmentation of QS deflections in leads V1 and / or V2 , and of R waves in V6. Utiliza...

The aim of this study was to identify potential blood feeding sources of L. (L.) longipalpis specimens from populations in Northeastern Brazil, endemic areas of American Visceral Leishmaniasis (AVL) and its correlation with the transmission of L. (L.) i. chagasi. The ELISA technique was applied using bird, dog, goat, opossum, equine, feline, human, sheep, and rodent antisera to analyze 609 fema...

The Airbus Visual Line (AVL) project, now deployed on the A380 assembly line, was propelled by the desire to foster collaboration and coordination among aeronautical Final Assembly Line teams while going beyond the simplistic – repressive concept of “andon boards” (Monden, 1993). We introduced an environment composed of large public displays and semi-public interfaces to support this collaborat...
