Global scenario-based modelling efforts to support biodiversity policies typically consider agriculture only as a pressure factor.

We argue favour broader perspective on farming practices and, specifically, scenario studies mixed multifunctional syste...

In [1], a new coherent statistical framework for estimating statistical deformable templates relevant to computational anatomy (CA) has been proposed. This paper addresses the problem of population average and estimation of the underlying geometrical variability as a MAP computation problem for which deterministic and stochastic approximation schemes have been proposed. We illustrate some of th...

This case of infective endocarditis masquerading as mixed cryoglobulinemia in a man with a history of intravenous drug use (IVDU) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) highlights the importance of maintaining a broad differential and continually re-evaluating the working diagnosis as new information presents itself. The patient presented to an outside hospital and was treated for presumptive mixed cryogl...
