The famous gulf between the arts and the sciences comes from the current pervasiveness of scientific illiteracy.The resultant increased fragmentation of science threatens scientific research; the resultant increase of the portion of the population of the advanced world that shows general ignorance of science threatens Western culture and democracy,
Simulation of malaria epidemiology and control in the highlands of western Kenya
Abstract Background Models of Plasmodium falciparum malaria epidemiology that provide realistic quantitative predictions of likely epidemiological outcomes of existing vector control strategies have the potential to assist in planning for the control and elimination of malaria.This work investigates the applicability of mathematical modelling of ma
Fraction distribution and dynamic cycling of phosphorus in lacustrine sediment at Inexpressible Island, Antarctica
Phosphorus (P) chemistry and its dynamic cycling are essential for understanding aquatic primary productivity and ecosystem structure.However, there is a lack of knowledge on P chemistry in pristine aquatic ecosystems, such as in Antarctica.Here, we applied the Standards, Measurements and Testing Program (SMT) procedure and nuclear magnetic resonan
Effective Dose Estimation in Computed Tomography by Machine Learning
Background: Computed tomography scans are widely used Extractors in everyday medical practice due to speed, image reliability, and detectability of a wide range of pathologies.Each scan exposes the patient to a radiation dose, and performing a fast estimation of the effective dose (E) is an important step for radiological safety.The aim of this wor
