Calibration estimator for Head Count Index
International Journal of Computer Mathematics, 2018 This paper considers the problem of estimating a poverty measure, the Head Count Index, using the auxiliary information available, which is incorporated into the estimationprocedure by calibration techniques. The proposed method does not directly use the auxiliary information provided by auxiliary variables related to the variable of interest in the ...

Does optic flow parsing depend on prior estimation of heading? [PDF]
, 2012 We have recently suggested that neural flow parsing mechanisms act to subtract global optic flow consistent with observer movement to aid in detecting and assessing scene-relative object movement.

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Combined oral contraceptive (COC) use in obese adult women dramatically increases the relative risk of developing a pulmonary embolism (PE). The risk of a PE in obese adolescent females taking contraceptives is currently unknown. The purpose of this investigation was to determine the effect of body mass index (BMI) and contraceptive

Health Literacy, Self‐Efficacy and Knowledge of Sickle Cell Disease Among Caregivers
Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a hereditary blood disorder in which abnormal haemoglobin leads to severe anaemia, painful crises and organ failure. Caregivers’ health literacy (HL) – their ability to assess, understand and apply information, and interact with healthcare professionals – is crucial for managing children with SCD, yet ...

Head Direction Estimation from Silhouette [PDF]
, 2013 Due to the absence of features that may be extracted from face, heading direction estimation for low resolution images is a difficult task and requires the taking into account all information that may be inferred from human body in image, particularly its silhouette.
