THE WHO 2016 VERBAL AUTOPSY INSTRUMENT: AN INTERNATIONAL STANDARD SUITABLE FOR AUTOMATED ANALYSIS BY INTERVA, INSILICOVA, AND TARIFF 2.0.

The WHO 2016 verbal autopsy instrument: An international standard suitable for automated analysis by InterVA, InSilicoVA, and Tariff 2.0.

BACKGROUND:Verbal autopsy (VA) is a practical method for determining probable causes of death at the population level in places where systems for medical certification of cause of death are weak.VA methods suitable for use in routine settings, such as civil registration and vital statistics (CRVS) systems, have developed rapidly in the last decade.

Fast Timing Techniques in FLIM Applications

Fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) is increasingly used in many scientific disciplines, including biological and medical research, materials science and chemistry.The fluorescence label is not only used to indicate its location, but Silver also to probe its immediate environment, via its fluorescence lifetime.This allows FLIM to monitor and image

Improved Multiple Lyapunov Functions of input-to-output Stability and input-to-state Stability for Switched Systems

This paper investigates the Lyapunov characterizations of input-to-output stability (IOS) and input-to-state stability (ISS) for nonlinear switched systems.The restriction on the negativity of derivatives of Lyapunov functions is relaxed; additionally, subsystems are not restricted to be ISS/IOS throughout the state space.These problems are overcom
