Vaccination is highly effective to prevent, control, and limit the impact of equine influenza (EI), a major respiratory disease of horses. However, EI vaccines should contain relevant equine influenza virus (EIV) strains for optimal protection. The OIE expert surveillance panel annually reviews EIV evolution and, since 2010, the use of Florida clade 1 and 2 sub-lineages representative vaccine s...

Resumo No ano de 2001, o Estatuto das Cidades deu obrigatoriedade à elaboração Planos Diretores (PD) a municípios com população acima 20.000 habitantes, entre outros critérios. mesmo Estatuto, existe um importante instrumento para gestão sustentável cidades: O Estudo Impacto Vizinhança (EIV), que busca atenuar impactos negativos empreendimentos no espaço urbano. Estado São Paulo possui 645 muni...

This paper focuses on the effect of mergers and acquisitions (M&As) announcements stocks Latin American banks their rivals between 2000 2019. We evaluate two impacts M&A announcements: cumulative abnormal returns (CAR) event-induced variance (EIV). use GARCH-based event-study method, finding that acquirers target have a statistically significant CAR targets are not affected by announcements. ob...

A multiscale approach to data rectification is proposed for data containing features with different time and frequency localization. Noisy data are decomposed into contributions at multiple scales and a Bayesian optimization problem is solved to rectify the wavelet coefficients at each scale. A linear dynamic model is used to constrain the optimization problem, which facilitates an error-in-var...

Situation awareness for vehicular safety and autonomy functions includes knowledge of the drivable area. This area is normally constrained between stationary road-side objects as guard-rails, curbs, ditches and vegetation. We consider these as extended objects modeled by polynomials along the road, and propose an algorithm to track each polynomial based on noisy range and bearing detections, ty...

In recent years, Mongolia has experienced recurrent epizootics of equine influenza virus (EIV) among its 2·1 million horses and multiple incursions of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) virus via migrating birds. No human EIV or HPAI infections have been reported. In 2009, 439 adults in Mongolia were enrolled in a population-based study of zoonotic influenza transmission. Enrollment sera ...

The Errors-in-Variables context is a challenging environment well known from many years that has seen an increasing amount of research and, consequently, of new results, only in relatively recent times. One of the appealing features of EIV models consists in their intrinsic capability of describing real processes and in relying only on limited sets of a–priori assumptions [24, 25]. These featur...

Although still in practice, the use of total least squares (TLS) in optical flow estimation is unreliable. TLS implicitly assumes that the error terms affecting the partial derivatives of the image intensities are independent. The usual methods for estimating the partial derivatives ensures that the errors are strongly correlated. Due to this correlation, an alternative method is required to tr...

The identification of dynamical models in the errors-in-variables (EIV) framework has seen renewed interest during the last decades. One of the main advantages of such a framework is the symmetrical treatment of all variables. One important EIV identification method is the Frisch scheme, which yields estimates for the measurement noise variances as well as the model parameters. Building on a re...

This new paper combines errors-in-variable (EIV) system with closed loop situation to consider a more complex EIV system. Consider the identification problem for system, synthesis analysis is completed from point of field. Firstly, reason about why useful in academy and practice explained detail. Secondly, identify that unknown plant, existing measurement process noise simultaneously, nonparame...
