Soil-transmitted helminths (STHs) infect over one billion people worldwide. Ascariasis may mimic a number of conditions, and individual clinical diagnosis often requires a thorough work-up. Kato-Katz thick smears are the standard detection method for Ascaris and, despite low sensitivity, are often used for mapping and monitoring and evaluation of national control programmes. Although increased ...

Basement rocks in the 17,000-square-mile region of southern Oklahoma crop out in the Wichita and Arbuckle Mountains and have been studied in subsurface samples from 175 wells. The rocks are divided into two contrasting provinces, each completely different from the other in age and petrologic character. Each province has played a different role in guiding the stratigraphic and structural evoluti...

Imagery has become a key tool for assessing deep-sea megafaunal biodiversity, historically based on physical sampling using fishing gears. Image datasets provide quantitative and repeatable estimates, small-scale spatial patterns habitat descriptions. However, taxon identification from images is challenging often relies morphotypes without considering taxonomic framework. Taxon particularly in ...

Image-based rendering (IBR) has become a very active research area in recent years. The optimal sampling problem for IBR has not been completely solved. In this paper, we show that theoretically, the optimal sampling efficiency can be achieved by employing the generalized periodic sampling theory with arbitrary geometry. When there is no occlusion in the scene and the scene is Lambertian, we sh...

Citation screening is an essential and time-consuming step of the systematic literature review process in medicine. Multiple previous studies have proposed various automation techniques to assist manual annotators this tedious task. The most widely used measure for evaluation automated citation Work Saved over Sampling (WSS). In work, we analyse examine its drawbacks. We subsequently propose no...
