While these disease specific programs were born out of a pressing need to combat extremely serious health threats, they were designed as vertical campaigns targeting only a specific disease and largely ignoring the social and economic environments which characterized the spread of the vectors and the disease.
The main advantage of the proposed methods is that not only the mean position of a contour is retrieved, but also the spread parameter which characterizes the gray level variations aside the contour mean position.
The angularity index parameter, denoted by ANGInd (which characterizes whether a particle is rounded or angular), showed most potential application to explain the aerodynamic behavior of irregular particles spread by spinning discs.
The method is based on the use of a series of figures of merit, such as the axial and the transverse gains and the Strehl ratio, which characterize the point-spread-function distribution near the focal region.
So, B. cenocepacia ST241, ST728, ST709, ST714, ST208, and ST708 formed clonal complex, including ST28, which characterized the strains with global spread.
Version 2 of this program has been designed to run more quickly and efficiently on the increasingly large ChIP-seq data sets, to more accurately analyze ChIP-seq data from any species, and to improve peak-calling for proteins and histone modifications which are characterized by spreading.
Roman Mannerism, which subsequently spread throughout Europe, is characterized by a display of the artificiality of art, a thoroughly self-conscious cultivation of elegance and facility, and a sophisticated delight in the bizarre.
For this, we model a blurred circle by a few parameters--center coordinates, radius, and spread--which characterize its mean position and gray level variations.
The TGZ-treated cultures, in which 50 μM TGZ was present during the same period, contained two morphologically different cell types; one was cuboidal in shape and the other was spindle shaped, which was characterized by cell spreading and a larger cell surface area compared with the cuboidal-shaped cells, as indicated by the magnified inserts.
D. Spatial spreading: this function characterizes the spreading of biovolume in space.
