We give analytic methods for nonparametric bias reduction that remove the need for computationally intensive methods like the bootstrap and the jackknife. We call an estimate pth order if its bias has magnitude n 0 as n0 → ∞, where n0 is the sample size (or the minimum sample size if the estimate is a function of more than one sample). Most estimates are only first order and require O(N) calcul...

El cas clínic literaturitzat, també denominat conte clínic, és un gènere narratiu que podem incloure dins la divulgació científica. Els autors solen ser professionals sanitaris s’adrecen a públic general. És per això s’allunya de les convencions pròpies dels gèneres mèdics caire més acadèmic, on es tendeix esborrar presència narradors i difuminar personalitat pacients. En aquest article revisem...

In this work, gray-scale invariant ranklet texture features are proposed for false positive reduction (FPR) in computer-aided detection (CAD) of breast masses. Two main considerations are at the basis of this proposal. First, false positive (FP) marks surviving our previous CAD system seem to be characterized by specific texture properties that can be used to discriminate them from masses. Seco...

European Legislation has fixed microbiological, chemical and biotoxicological limits for shellfish but no limits for viruses. In the present study we report the results of an investigation on Salmonella spp., Escherichia coli, Hepatitis A virus (HAV) and Norovirus (NoV) contamination in 59 bivalve shellfish collected during the years 2011-2012 in Southern Italy. All the samples of Mytilus gallo...

Abstract Microplastics (MPs) are plastic particles with sizes between <1 m to 5 mm. known contaminate the environment and marine organisms. One type of organism that is often found on east coast city Surabaya Lorjuk, namely bamboo shells or razor clams. Lorjuk seafood as a typical food Surabaya. This study aims determine potential for microplastic pollution in ( Solen sp.) from 3 locations o...
