Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUnderstanding the Epidemiology of Trypanosoma Evansi Infection in Dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) from Urban Areas of ColombiaJeiczon Elim Jaimes-Dueñez, Ángela Patricia Jiménez-Leaño, Daniela Montenegro-Ayala, Maria Esteban-MendozaTrypanosomaevansi is a protozoan parasite that is the causative agent of the animal disease known as "surra", which affects a wide variety of wild and domestic mammals including humans. This study aimed to evaluate the molecular point prevalence and clinic-epidemiological traits of T. evansi infection in dogs from municipalities of the Metropolitan Area of Bucaramanga (MAB), Santander, Colombia. From 2019 … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 2 · 1 Jul 2022 · 5,944 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Bayesian Adaptive Design for Combination of Three Drugs in Cancer Phase I Clinical TrialsMourad Tighiouart, Quanlin Li, Steven Piantadosi, Andre RogatkoWe describe a Bayesian adaptive design for early phase cancer trials of a combination of three agents. This is an extension of an earlier work by the authors by allowing all three agents to vary during the trial and by assigning different drug combinations to cohorts of three patients. The primary objective is to estimate the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) … …Current Research in Biostatistics, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 25 Aug 2016 · 8,426 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractContribution of Remote Sensing in the Estimation of the Populations Living in Areas with Risk of Gully Erosion in Kinshasa (D.R. Congo). Case of Selembao TownshipKayembe wa Kayembe Matthieu, Ngoy Ndombe Alain, Makanzu Imwangana Fils et al.This paper proposes a methodology combining very high spatial resolution satellite image, GIS and field surveys to estimate the number of people living in areas at (high) risk of landslides or gully erosion in Selembao (Kinshasa). It also gives their socio-economic characteristics. Results show that 185,000 out of the 314,699 inhabitants estimated in Selembao (58.3% of the population) live in … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 6 Jun 2016 · 8,618 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTowards the Efficiency of Municipal Solid Waste Management in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC): Case Study of LubumbashiMartin T. Mpinda, Olusegun K. Abass, Mujinya B. Bazirake et al.This paper provides an overview on the state of Municipal Solid Waste Management (MSWM) in Lubumbashi, D.R Congo. To meet the recently proposed Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), establishment of efficient waste management techniques and strategies geared towards monetizing waste in the framework of sustainable growth is inevitable. Solid waste categorization and collection in conjunction with recycle, reuse and revalue are … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 27 May 2016 · 10,157 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImprovement of Image Matching by using the Proximity Criterion: Application to Omnidirectional and Perspective ImagesIbrahim Guelzim, Ahmed Hammouch, Driss AboutajdineProblem statement: In computer vision, matching is an important phase for several applications (object reconstruction, robot navigation ...). The similarity measures used provided results which could be improved. Approach: This research proposed to improve image matching by using the proximity criterion. The similarity measures used mutual information and correlation coefficient. The matching was done between neighborhoods of points of interest … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 8 · 15 Jul 2011 · 6,679 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Study of Urban Quality of Life in a Developing CountrySedigheh Lotfi, Amin Faraji, Husain Hataminejad, Ahmad PourahmadProblem statement: The rapid growth of urbanization has led to degradation of quality of life in many developing countries. The qualitative approach towards development concepts provided background for studying the object of quality of life. This concept was declared by Raymond Bauer in 1966 in response to the increase of urban crisis. Today, quality of life refers to the capacity … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 21 Mar 2011 · 8,341 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Routing Protocol with High Energy Performance in Mobile Special NetworksAli Norouzi, B. Berk UstundagProblem statement: Mobile Special Networks do not have a predetermined structure. This type of networks can dynamically reorganize network connection relationships due to change of neighborhoods and the relative positions. Approach: There are many problems in creation of a special network such as routing, wireless media, energy consumption and transportability. Results: Although these networks primarily had been formed for small … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 15 Jan 2011 · 7,306 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLand Cover Change Detection Using Texture AnalysisXiaofeng Wu, Fen Yang, Roly LishmanProblem statement: It is an important task to detect land cover changes from remotely sensed data for environmental monitoring. Although there are some applications of visual textures to the land use, they are limited to a few land cover categories with the application of one texture measure. Since land cover types are complex and often the integration of various objects, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2010 · 8,203 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Approach to Modeling and Flooding in Ad-hoc Wireless NetworksO. Issaad, S. Pierre, G. I. Ivascu, O. GarciaThis study proposes a new modeling approach for wireless ad-hoc networks. The new approach is based on the construction of fuzzy neighborhoods and essentially consists of assigning a membership or importance degree to each network radio link which reflects the relative quality of this link. This approach is first used to model the flooding problem and then an algorithm is … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,019 accessesView PDF Cite
