IntroductionThe decision-making process for malaria control and elimination strategies has become more challenging.Interventions need to be targeted at council level to allow for changing malaria epidemiology and an increase in the number of possible interventions.Models of malaria dynamics can support this process by simulating potential impacts o
This paper proposes a new learning methodology involving deep features and two-way metric learning for large, extremely imbalanced face datasets where the number of minority classes and the imbalance ratio are both very high.The problem arises because the faces of some celebrities, being more popular, are readily available in social media and the i
This study assesses water stress by 2050 in river basins facing increasing human and climatic pressures, by comparing the impacts of various combinations of possible future socio-economic and climate trends.A modelling framework integrating human and hydro-climatic dynamics and accounting for interactions between resource and demand at a 10-day tim
I revisit the 2017 French Presidential election which opposed the far right National Front candidate Reed Switch Marine Le Pen against the center candidate Emmanuel Macron.While voting intentions for Le Pen stuck below 50% and polls kept predicting her failure, I warned on the emergence of a novel phenomenon I defined as unavowed abstention, which
The Mesa Central (MC) of Mexico presents a noticeable feature as is the three-dimensional (3D) deformation of Cenozoic volcanic rocks.To figure out when this unusual deformation began, we constructed a geological map at 1:100,000 scale, with detailed stratigraphy, and thirteen new U-Pb ages in the southern MC.The mapped area is dominated by silicic
