Simultaneous digital super-resolution and nonuniformity correction for infrared imaging systems.

Applied optics

Meza P, Machuca G, Torres S, Martin CS, Vera E.
PMID: 26367836
Appl Opt. 2015 Jul 20;54(21):6508-15. doi: 10.1364/AO.54.006508.

In this article, we present a novel algorithm to achieve simultaneous digital super-resolution and nonuniformity correction from a sequence of infrared images. We propose to use spatial regularization terms that exploit nonlocal means and the absence of spatial correlation...

Rationalisation and racialisation in the Rainbow Nation: inequalities and identity in the South African bone marrow transplant network.

Anthropology & medicine

Avera E.
PMID: 27276409
Anthropol Med. 2009 Aug 01;16(2):179-93. doi: 10.1080/13648470902940648.

This article examines discourses and practises in the professional network of people and organisations in South Africa that comprise the bone marrow/haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (BMT) network. A prominent discursive inter-relationship asserts that some genetically inherited Human Leukocyte Antigen...

Inequities in under-five child malnutrition in South Africa.

International journal for equity in health

Zere E, McIntyre D.
PMID: 14514357
Int J Equity Health. 2003 Sep 11;2(1):7. doi: 10.1186/1475-9276-2-7.

OBJECTIVES: To assess and quantify the magnitude of inequalities in under-five child malnutrition, particularly those ascribable to socio-economic status and to consider the policy implications of these findings. METHODS: Data on 3765 under-five children were derived from the Living...

Resource flows for health care: Namibia reproductive health sub-accounts.

International archives of medicine

Mbeeli T, Samahiya M, Ravishankar N, Zere E, Kirigia JM.
PMID: 22195679
Int Arch Med. 2011 Dec 24;4(1):41. doi: 10.1186/1755-7682-4-41.

BACKGROUND: Implementing initiatives to achieve the targets of MDG 5 requires sufficient financial resources that are mobilized and utilized in an equitable, efficient and sustainable manner. Informed decision making to this end requires the availability of reliable health financing...

Total variation approach for adaptive nonuniformity correction in focal-plane arrays.

Optics letters

Vera E, Meza P, Torres S.
PMID: 21263490
Opt Lett. 2011 Jan 15;36(2):172-4. doi: 10.1364/OL.36.000172.

In this Letter we propose an adaptive scene-based nonuniformity correction method for fixed-pattern noise removal in imaging arrays. It is based on the minimization of the total variation of the estimated irradiance, and the resulting function is optimized by...

National health financing policy in Eritrea: a survey of preliminary considerations.

BMC international health and human rights

Kirigia JM, Zere E, Akazili J.
PMID: 22929308
BMC Int Health Hum Rights. 2012 Aug 28;12:16. doi: 10.1186/1472-698X-12-16.

BACKGROUND: The 58th World Health Assembly and 56th WHO Regional Committee for Africa adopted resolutions urging Member States to ensure that health financing systems included a method for prepayment to foster financial risk sharing among the population and avoid...

The combination astemizole-gefitinib as a potential therapy for human lung cancer.

OncoTargets and therapy

Chávez-López MG, Zúñiga-García V, Hernández-Gallegos E, Vera E, Chasiquiza-Anchatuña CA, Viteri-Yánez M, Sanchez-Ramos J, Garrido E, Camacho J.
PMID: 29263676
Onco Targets Ther. 2017 Dec 06;10:5795-5803. doi: 10.2147/OTT.S144506. eCollection 2017.

Lung cancer is a major cause of cancer mortality. Thus, novel therapies are urgently needed. Repositioning of old drugs is gaining great interest in cancer treatment. Astemizole is an antihistamine proposed to be repositioned for cancer therapy. This drug...

MWCNT-coated cellulose nanopapers: Droplet-coating, process factors, and electrical conductivity performance.

Carbohydrate polymers

Mashkour M, Sharifinia M, Yousefi H, Afra E.
PMID: 30287029
Carbohydr Polym. 2018 Dec 15;202:504-512. doi: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2018.09.006. Epub 2018 Sep 12.

Electrically conductive cellulose nanopapers (EC-CNPaps) were fabricated by the droplet-coating of multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) on cellulose nanopapers (CNPaps), and the effects of the process factors on the electrical conductivity of EC-CNPaps were investigated. The type of CNPaps (made...

Inequalities in the Impact of National Reimbursement of Smoking Cessation Pharmacotherapy and the Influence of Injunctive Norms: An Explorative Study.

Substance abuse : research and treatment

Benson FE, Nagelhout GE, Nierkens V, Willemsen MC, Stronks K.

Subst Abuse. 2016 May 24;10:45-53. doi: 10.4137/SART.S32225. eCollection 2016.

In 2011, the Dutch government reimbursed smoking cessation pharmacotherapy with behavioral therapy for quitting smokers. We investigate whether inequalities in the use of pharmacotherapy change and, if not, whether this is due to a relatively positive injunctive norm in...
