A Multispectral Blood Smear Background Images Reconstruction for Malaria Unstained Images Normalization

International Journal of Imaging Systems and Technology, Volume 34, Issue 6, November 2024.
ABSTRACT Multispectral and multimodal unstained blood smear images are obtained and evaluated to offer computer‐assisted automated diagnostic evidence for malaria. However, these images suffer from uneven lighting, contrast variability, and local luminosity due to the acquisition system.

Dominance and rarity in tree communities across the globe: Patterns, predictors and threats

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 33, Issue 10, October 2024.
Abstract Aim Ecological and anthropogenic factors shift the abundances of dominant and rare tree species within local forest communities, thus affecting species composition and ecosystem functioning. To inform forest and conservation management it is important to understand the drivers of dominance and rarity in local tree communities.

Tree demographic strategies largely overlap across succession in Neotropical wet and dry forest communities

Ecology, Volume 105, Issue 7, July 2024.
Abstract Secondary tropical forests play an increasingly important role in carbon budgets and biodiversity conservation. Understanding successional trajectories is therefore imperative for guiding forest restoration and climate change mitigation efforts.

Joint spatial modelling of malaria incidence and vector's abundance shows heterogeneity in malaria‐vector geographical relationships

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 61, Issue 2, Page 365-378, February 2024.
Joint modelling improve predictive estimation compared to individual modelling. The accurate predictions highlighted high diversity in the association between malaria and vector species, with most of the area having more than one species suitability correlated with malaria suitability.
