Currently, anatomically consistent segmentation of vascular trees acquired with magnetic resonance imaging requires the use of multiple image processing steps, which, in turn, depend on manual intervention.In effect, segmentation of vascular trees from medical images is time consuming and error prone due to the tortuous geometry and weak signal in
Digital storytelling to engage postgraduates in reflective practice in an emerging economy
Many emerging economies are just beginning to consume digital content meaningfully.In the field of education in particular, such technology could help to narrow the gap between teacher training and the expectations of Eyebrow Extension a post-colonial, post-apartheid education system in an emerging economy.However, it is important that the use of t
Cohort profile: Using primary care data to understand Opioid Prescribing, Policy Impacts and Clinical Outcomes (OPPICO) in Victoria, Australia.
Purpose The OPPICO cohort is a population-based cohort based on non-identifiable electronic health records routinely collected from 464 general practices in Victoria, Australia, created with the aim of understanding opioid prescribing, policy impacts and clinical outcomes.The aim of this paper is to provide a profile of the study cohort by summaris
Grey and harbor seals in France (mainland and Saint-Pierre et Miquelon): microbial communities and identification of a microbial source tracking seal marker
IntroductionSeals, protected wild marine mammals, are widely found in waters around the world.However, rising concerns about their increasing numbers in some areas have led to potential worries regarding microbiological contamination of coastal areas by their feces, which could impact bathing and shellfish-harvesting activities.To the best of our k
The worldwide variation in avian clutch size across species and space.
Traits such as clutch size vary markedly across species and environmental gradients but have usually been investigated from either a comparative Eyebrow Extension or a geographic perspective, respectively.We analyzed the global variation in clutch size across 5,290 bird species, excluding brood parasites and pelagic species.We integrated intrinsic
