A Comparative Study of Texture Analysis Methods on the Classification Problem of DPLDs in HRCT scans.

Texture classification is challenging because patterns from different instances can be very similar. Furthermore, the descriptors need to be invariant to rotations, scale, and lighting variations. In this work, we analyzed three different class of methods for texture features extraction: i.

Recent Guidelines on Anal Cancer Screening: A Systematic Review.

Objectives: Reports have recently been published on the risk stratification of anal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in several populations and the benefits of treating precancerous anal lesions to reduce the risk of progression to anal SCC. These studies have led several societies to publish new recommendations for anal cancer screening. This study systematically reviews anal cancer screening recommendations across different societies and institutes published after the ANCHOR trial.

When the wild things are: Defining mammalian diel activity and plasticity.

Circadian rhythms are a mechanism by which species adapt to environmental variability and fundamental to understanding species behavior. However, we lack data and a standardized framework to accurately assess and compare temporal activity for species during rapid ecological change. Through a global network representing 38 countries, we leveraged 8.

First record of Ixodes uriae White, 1852 (Parasitiformes: Ixodidae) on the great shearwater (Procellariiformes: Procellariidae) in Southern Brazil: a step toward understanding tick-host interactions.

The Great Shearwater, Ardenna gravis, is the largest and most abundant species of procellarid seabirds in the South Atlantic. A specimen of this shearwater was found dead and parasitized by a hard tick on Cima Beach, Santa Catarina State, southern Brazil. Morphological and molecular analyses confirmed the tick's identity as Ixodes uriae.
