Analysis of a <i>Pinus Radiata</i> Seed Stock Field in the Native Año Nuevo Stand in California
… the potential threat that the pitch canker disease poses to the use of Pinus radiata D. Don in plantations in New Zealand, Australia, and Chile. A field trial of 264 seedstocks was planted adjacent to a native stand of pitch canker infected P. radiata on the central coast of California, and …

Mathematical models for vector-borne infectious disease mapping with application to Dengue disease in Malaysia
… of relative risk for vector borne infectious diseases.Most of these articles involve exploratory analysis that includes the study of covariates andtheir effects on disease distribution and the study of geographic information systems tointegrate patient-related information. The aim of this …

Utilizing spring dead spot mapping to assess precision management strategies, topographical epidemiology, economic opportunities
Spring dead spot (SDS), a monocyclic, soil-borne disease caused by Ophiosphaerella spp., affects the rhizomes and stolons of bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon L. Pers), and is particularly severe in regions with extended dormancy, such as the transition zone. This research evaluates three aspects of …

Investigating the Valley Fever – Environment Relationship in the Western U.S.
Valley fever, or coccidioidomycosis, is a disease caused by the Coccidioides immitis and Coccidioides posadasii fungal species that dwell in the soil but can become airborne and infect a human or mammalian host through their respiratory tract. Disease rates in the western U.S. have significantly …

Improving quality of care in inflammatory bowel disease: treatment targets and body composition
… Quality care for people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) aims to modify the course of disease and normalise quality of life (QoL). Treatment directed at objective inflammation has been shown to improve outcomes in IBD, yet represents a paradigm shift for clinicians trained to manage symptoms …

Modeling species geographic distributions in aquatic ecosystems using a density-based clustering algorithm
Distributional ecology is a branch of ecology which aims to reconstruct and predict the geographic range of free-living and symbiotic organisms in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. More recently, distributional ecology has been used to map disease transmission risk. The implementation of …

Augmented Radiology in High Grade Serous Ovarian Carcinoma
… delivered and provides a unique perspective on disease: it is non-invasively attained, gives 3-dimensional spatially resolved information about disease, and when images are captured sequentially, allows for temporal comparison. Unlocking the information contained within these images, however, …
