This paper presents a fully automated framework for algal bloom forecasting in inland water by combining remote sensing data series and unsupervised machine learning concepts. In contrast to other methods the specialized literature that usually employ pre-labeled data, proposed approach was designed be autonomous concerning pre-requisites, assuming as input only time of remotely sensed products...

During the summer of 2014, all the pre-requisites for autochthonous transmission of chikungunya virus are present in southern France: a competent vector, Aedes albopictus, and a large number of travellers returning from the French Caribbean islands where an outbreak is occurring.

Among all cancer treatment options, chemotherapy continues to play a major role in killing free cancer cells and removing undetectable tumor micro-focuses. Although chemotherapies are successful in some cases, systemic toxicity may develop at the same time due to lack of selectivity of the drugs for cancer tissues and cells, which often leads to the failure of chemotherapies.

Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) fulfills all the pre-requisites for being included in a newborn screening (NS) program. It does not present clinical features early and delayed diagnosis has disastrous consequences. Accurate biochemical diagnosis is possible before clinical features set in, and treatment by 2 to 3 weeks of age ensures good outcome. For India, two more important pre-requisites are...

An axiomatization of the concept of entropy of a discrete Choquet capacity is given. It is based on three axioms: the symmetry property, a boundary condition for which the entropy reduces to the classical Shannon entropy, and a generalized version of the well-known recursivity property. This entropy, recently introduced to extend the Shannon entropy to nonadditive measures, fulfills several pro...
