Spatial analysis of 10-year predicted risk and incident atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease: the CoLaus cohort

Stéphane Joost, Idris Guessous, David Nicolas De Ridder, Guillaume Jordan

Whether cardiovascular risk scores geographically aggregate and inform on spatial development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (ASCVD) remains unknown. Our aim is to determine the spatial distribution of 10-year predicted cardiovascular risk and ...

Epidemicity indices and reproduction numbers from infectious disease data in connected human populations

Andrea Rinaldo, Cristiano Trevisin, Lorenzo Mari, Marino Gatto

We focus on distinctive data-driven measures of the fate of ongoing epidemics. The relevance of our pursuit is suggested by recent results proving that the short-term temporal evolution of infection spread is described by an epidemicity index related to th ...

OrthoPlanes: A Novel Representation for Better 3D-Awareness of GANs

Zhuoqian Yang, Siyuan Li

We present a new method for generating realistic and view-consistent images with fine geometry from 2D image collections. Our method proposes a hybrid explicitimplicit representation called OrthoPlanes, which encodes fine-grained 3D information in feature ...

Fine-grained population mapping from coarse census counts and open geodata

Devis Tuia, Benjamin Alexander Kellenberger, Muhammad Imran

Fine-grained population maps are needed in several domains, like urban planning, environmental monitoring, public health, and humanitarian operations. Unfortunately, in many countries only aggregate census counts over large spatial units are collected, mor ...

Quantification of light exposure characteristics modulating non-visual responses with light-dosimetry

Marilyne Andersen, Steffen Lutz Hartmeyer

(1) Background: Extensive laboratory research has shown that physiological and behavioural responses to light are modulated by different light exposure characteristics, that is, spectral composition, intensity, duration, timing, temporal dynamics, prior hi ...

Highly localized azimuthal measurements in the CROCUS reactor towards the validaiton of high-fidelity neutronics codes

Andreas Pautz, Vincent Pierre Lamirand, Pavel Frajtag, Fanny Vitullo

Highly localized in-core measurements are necessary for the validation of neutron transport calculations with high spatial resolution. In the present work, a miniature neutron detector developed at EPFL in collaboration with PSI was used to carry out a set ...

Geographic footprints of life expectancy inequalities in the state of Geneva, Switzerland

Stéphane Joost, Idris Guessous, David Nicolas De Ridder, Anaïs Laurence Ladoy

Though Switzerland has one of the highest life expectancies in the world, this global indicator may mask significant disparities at a local level. The present study used a spatial cluster detection approach based on individual death records to investigate ...
