Detecting and tracking people in scenes monitored by cameras is an important step in many application scenarios such as surveillance, urban planning or behavioral studies to name a few. The amount of data produced by camera feeds is so large that it is also vital that these steps be performed with the utmost computational efficiency and often even realtime. We propose SCOOP, a novel algorithm t...

Salmonids are fatty fish and contain high amounts of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, beneficial in human nutrition. However, the aquaculture industry has expanded greatly in recent decades, increasing demand for fishmeal (FM) and fish oil (FO) for fish feed, while the supply of fish raw materials has remained static or declined. This has created a need for alternative sustainable raw mater...

BACKGROUND In the nutrition literature, there are several reports on the use of artificial neural network (ANN) and multiple linear regression (MLR) approaches for predicting feed composition and nutritive value, while the use of support vector machines (SVM) method as a new alternative approach to MLR and ANN models is still not fully investigated. METHODS The MLR, ANN, and SVM models were d...

Background: The gold standard procedure for treatment of infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis is Open Pyloromyotomy. The objective of this study was to compare the results of Laparoscopic Pyloromyotomywith the open procedure by means of a retrospective study of cases operated by both surgical techniques. Methods: A comparative study of cases operated by laparoscopic extramucosalpyloromyotomi...
