The causal link between a household’s economic standing and child health is known to suffer from endogeneity. While past studies have exemplified the causal link to be small, albeit statistically significant, this paper ...
Role of spatial tools in public health policymaking of Bangladesh: opportunities and challenges
(© 2016 Journal of Health, Population and Nutrition, 2016-02)
In spite of the increasing efforts to gather spatial data in developing countries, the use of maps is mostly for visualization of health indicators rather than informed decision-making. Various spatial tools can aid ...
A novel modified SFTA approach for feature extraction
(© 2016 IEEE, 9/22/2016)
To increase the efficiency of conventional Segmentation Based Fractal Texture Analysis (SFTA), we propose a new approach on SFTA algorithm. We use an optimum multilevel thresholding hybrid method of Genetic Algorithm (GA) ...
Clustering and detection of good and bad rail line anchors from images
(© 2015 Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2016-06)
Absence of railway anchors/fasteners is a serious concern as it might lead to severe consequences such as train derailments. Hence regular inspection is an obligation to ensure safety. The third world countries choose the ...
Some analytical models of anisotropic strange stars
(© Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2015, 2016)
Over the years of the concept of local isotropy has become a too stringent condition in modeling relativistic self-gravitating objects. Taking local anisotropy into consideration, in this work, some analytical models of ...
