More Monotone Open Homogeneous Locally Connected Plane Continua

This paper constructs a continuous decomposition of the Sierpiński curve into acyclic continua one of which is an arc. This decomposition is then used to construct another continuous decomposition of the Sierpiński curve. The resulting decomposition space is homeomorphic to the continuum obtained from taking the Sierpiński curve and identifying two points on the boundary of one of its complemen...

Two More Strategies to Speed Up Connected Components Labeling Algorithms

This paper presents two strategies that can be used to improve the speed of Connected Components Labeling algorithms. The first one operates on optimal decision trees considering image patterns occurrences, while the second one articulates how two scan algorithms can be parallelized using multi-threading. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed methodologies reduce the total executio...

Virus evolution and transmission in an ever more connected world

The frequency and global impact of infectious disease outbreaks, particularly those caused by emerging viruses, demonstrate the need for a better understanding of how spatial ecology and pathogen evolution jointly shape epidemic dynamics. Advances in computational techniques and the increasing availability of genetic and geospatial data are helping to address this problem, particularly when bot...
