Competent hosts and endemicity of multi-host diseases [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 In this paper we propose a method to study a general vector-hosts mathematical model in order to explain how the changes in biodiversity could influence the dynamics of vector-borne diseases. We find that under the assumption of frequency-dependent transmission, i.e.

AI-Augmented Thyroid Scintigraphy for Robust Classification [PDF]
arXivThyroid scintigraphy is a key imaging modality for diagnosing thyroid disorders. Deep learning models for thyroid scintigraphy classification often face challenges due to limited and imbalanced datasets, leading to suboptimal generalization. In this study, we investigate the effectiveness of different data augmentation techniques including Stable ...
