The number of cases of schistosomiasis (Schistosoma mansoni) detected in each quarter (from 1988 to 1994) via basic health services in the 6 endemic provinces of Burundi is summarized in a figure. 15 months after civil unrest in the country, the output of the programme had recovered in most endemic provinces. The sustainability of a schistosomiasis control programme which is integrated in primary health care was demonstrated

The huge amount of documents available in the legal domain calls for computational tools supporting efficient and intelligent search and filtering of information. Over the last several years, machine-learning oriented research in information retrieval and document classification has spawned a number of systems capable of handling structural content management, helping users to automatically or semi-automatically identify relevant structured ...

The adoption of machine learning and deep learning is on the rise in the cybersecurity domain where these AI methods help strengthen traditional system monitoring and threat detection solutions. However, adversaries too are becoming more effective in concealing malicious behavior amongst large amounts of benign behavior data. To address the increasing time-to-detection of these stealthy attacks, interconnected and federated learning systems can ...

This chapter focuses on identification of duplicate audio material in large digital music archives. The music information retrieval (MIR) problem to efficiently find duplicate in large collections is a solved problem. There are even off-the-shelf systems available to find duplicates. The applications of this technology, however, are still too unknown and underexploited. This chapter describes duplicate detection and its many applications which ...

Background and CaseThis case report exemplifies the clinical application of non-invasive photoplethysmography (PPG)-based rhythm monitoring in the awakening mobile health (mHealth) era to detect symptomatic and asymptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) in a cryptogenic stroke patient. Despite extensive diagnostic workup, the etiology remains unknown in one out of three ischemic strokes (i.e., cryptogenic stroke). Prolonged cardiac ...

Occupancy-based monitoring programs rely on survey data to infer presence or absence of the target species. However, species may occupy a site and go undetected, leading to erroneous inference of absence ('false absence'). If detectability is influenced by the time of year or weather conditions, survey protocols can be adjusted to minimize the chance of false absences. In this study, detection probabilities for three amphibian species from ...
