This book gathers outstanding papers presented at the International Conference on Data Science and Applications (ICDSA 2019), held at Kautilya Institute of Technology and Engineering, Jaipur, Rajasthan, India, from 2 to 3 December 2019. It covers theoretical and empirical developments in various areas of big data analytics, big data technologies, decision tree learning, wireless communication, wireless sensor networking, bioinformatics and systems, artificial neural networks, deep learning, genetic algorithms, data mining, fuzzy logic, optimization algorithms, image processing, computational intelligence in civil engineering, creative computing, etc.
The annual ICG meeting takes place once a year to review the epidemiological situation of each one of the diseases under the ICG mechanism, to review the outbreaks and campaigns supported by ICG, discuss the vaccine demand in the previous year and supply forecast, discuss production plans of vaccine manufacturers and future vaccine developments, and to decide on the stockpiles size and composition for the next year.
Soilless Culture - Use of Substrates for the Production of Quality Horticultural Crops provides useful information on the techniques of growing horticultural crops using either inert organic or inorganic substrates and also on use of substrates consisting locally available and inexpensive materials with adequate physical and chemical properties. The contents mainly includes influence of different substrates on horticultural crops grown under soilless culture, production of vegetables and ornamental crops in water shortage area, comparative evaluation of commercial inert substrate used for growing high value horticultural crops. In this book, interesting researches from around the world are brought together to produce a resource for teachers, researcher, and advanced students of biological science.
The 2020 Annual Meeting of the International Coordinating Group (ICG) on Vaccine Provision took place virtually on 23 and 24 September 2020. The Chair on Day 1 of the meeting was Dr Olivier Ronveaux, with Dr Laurence Cibrelus taking over the role of Chair on Day 2. The agenda of the meeting is attached as Annex 1 of this report. The list of participants is attached as Annex 2. Introduction The ICG has four founding members – the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and the World Health Organization (WHO), with the latter being the host agency for the ICG Secretariat. These me...
The International Coordinating Group (ICG) on vaccine provision for epidemic meningitis was formed in 1997 after a large-scale epidemic caused by Neisseria meningitidis (Nm) serogroup A (Nm-A) that resulted in over 20 000 deaths across the meningitis belt of Sahelian West Africa. The ICG acts as a global mechanism for allocation of vaccines from global stockpiles to respond to emergency requests for outbreaks of major infectious diseases. In addition to vaccines, the ICG for meningitis maintains a stockpile of ceftriaxone for management of meningitis cases. Stockpiled meningococcal vaccine doses nearing expiration are repurposed for preventive campaigns in countries at high risk of outbreaks.
This book covers diverse aspects of advanced computer and communication engineering, focusing specifically on industrial and manufacturing theory and applications of electronics, communications, computing and information technology. Experts in research, industry, and academia present the latest developments in technology, describe applications involving cutting-edge communication and computer systems, and explore likely future trends. In addition, a wealth of new algorithms that assist in solving computer and communication engineering problems are presented. The book is based on presentations given at ICOCOE 2015, the 2nd International Conference on Communication and Computer Engineering. It will appeal to a wide range of professionals in the field, including telecommunication engineers, computer engineers and scientists, researchers, academics and students.
The International Coordinating Group (ICG) on vaccine provision was established in 1997 to respond to high-impact epidemic-prone diseases after a large epidemic of meningococcal meningitis in West Africa. The ICG stockpile of yellow fever (YF) vaccine was established in 2001 after a major YF outbreak in Guinea, during which there was a severe shortage of YF vaccine. Since then, vaccine stockpiles have been established for cholera (2013) and, most recently, Ebola virus disease (2021).
This document provides an overview of WHO Transformation implementation as of end 2020. It complements the report on "Transforming for enhanced country impact" submitted to the 148th session of the Executive Board (EB). Our Transformation journey has had four major phases, beginning in July 2017 when Director-General Tedros took office and launched a period of deep listening and engagement with all staff and all major offices. In February 2018, the Global Policy Group kicked off phase two, leading our work to finalize the Thirteenth General Programme of Work 2019-2023 (GPW13), redesign 13 of our core processes as best-in-class", develop our new 3-level operating model and co-create with all staff a set of core values to guide our ways of working. On 6 March 2019, the Director-General and Regional Directors initiated the third phase, which included aligning our major office structures and developing options for a more fit-for-purpose country presence. The fourth phase –implementation and continuous improvement – began in January 2020, with an initial focus on consolidating our changes and then expanding to monitoring, learning and continuous improvement.
