Use of generalized additives to study the association of incidence of malaria and climate variables in epidemic prone sites in Tanzania between 1998 and 2005
(15-03-13)
A Generalized additive poisson model was used to study the association of climatic variables
and incidence of malaria. GAMs allow non-linear relationships via smooth functions between
the predictors and the dependent ...
Automatic classification of plasmodium parasites using stained RGB images
(2012)
In this work, an accurate, speedy and affordable model
of malaria diagnosis using stained thin blood smear

Developments in Medical Elementology and Spectral Diagnostics of Disease Via Chemometrics and Machine Learning Assisted Trace Spectroanalytics and Imaging Towards Applications in Nanomedicine
(2012)
The chemical composition of body fluids and tissue are correlated to the state of health. The
concentration level and speciation alterations, as well as correlations of trace chemicals in body tissues
and fluids can thus ...
Application of Multi-spectral Satellite Imagery in Monitoring of Aquatic Vegetation and Water Quality Parameters in Large Inland Waters
(2012)
Following the great potential of optical remote sensing
and its increased application in quality assessment of
