thick smears, among children aged 9-12 years at the time of each survey. First-grade children, aged 5-8 years who had never received praziquantel, were also tested at baseline and at the end of the study [...] final year, we observed the lowest prevalence of 10.4% in arm 1, compared to 18.2% in arm 2 and 17.5% in arm 3. The comparison between arms 1 and 2 estimated an odds ratio (OR) of 0.52 but the difference [...] final year survey were observed in arm 1 (7.9 eggs per gram of stool (EPG))....

approaches for quantitative estimation of daily mean Particulate Matter (PM) concentrations. Both fine (PM2.5) and coarse (PM10) concentrations were estimated over the area of London (UK) for the 2002–2012 time
A satellite-based spatio-temporal machine learning model to reconstruct daily PM2.5 concentrations across Great Britain (Publications)
matter (PM2.5) levels across Great Britain between 2008–2018. This high-resolution model consists of random forest (RF) algorithms applied in four stages. Stage-1 augments monitor-PM2.5 series using [...] spatial and spatio-temporal variables to build a prediction model for PM2.5. Stage-4 applies Stage-3 models to estimate daily PM2.5 concentrations over a 1 km grid. The RF architecture performed well in all [...] epidemiological analyses to assess health risks associated with both short- and...
