This study presents a novel classification model, the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), degree of polarization (DOP), texture classification model (NDTCM), for both regional and global scales, utilizing a synergistic approach that combines the NDVI from optical data with the DOP and its associated texture from synthetic aperture radar
BACKGROUND:Spatial modelling of STH and schistosomiasis epidemiology is now commonplace.Spatial epidemiological studies help inform decisions regarding the number of people at risk as well as the geographic areas that need to be targeted with mass drug administration; however, limited attention has been given to propagated uncertainties, their inte
Gravity geologic method is one of the important to derive seafloor topography by using altimetry-gravity, and its committed step is gridding of regional gravity anomaly.Hence, we proposed a topography constraint factor weight optimization (TCFWO) method based on ordinary kriging method.This method fully considers the influence of topography factors
This paper examines the effect of gainsharing provisions on the selection of a discount rate for a defined benefit pension plan.The paper uses a traditional actuarial approach tourettebrewing.com of discounting liabilities using the expected return of the associated pension fund.A stochastic Excel model was developed to simulate the effect of varyi
Gastric lactobezoar, a pathological collection of milk and mucus in the stomach of milk-fed infants, can present with features of gastric outlet obstruction.A 3-day-old neonate developed abdominal distension with no hemodynamic instability.Abdominal here X-ray was suggestive of gastric pneumatosis with heterogeneous opacities in the gastric region
