INCIDENCE DATA [21 records]

English

Subject field(s)
  • Epidemiology
DEF

... the number of new cases of a disease in a particular time period divided by the total number of disease-free individuals at risk of the disease at the beginning of the time period ...

OBS

In order to calculate the cumulative incidence, one must have complete follow-up data on all observed individuals, such as their final disposition with regards to having or not having the disease may be determined. Although this measure describes the total proportion of new cases occurring in a time period, it does not describe when in the time period the cases occurred...

  • Épidémiologie
DEF

[...] rapport du nombre de nouveaux cas d'une maladie survenue pendant une période de temps déterminée divisée par le nombre d'individus à risque de développer la maladie pendant cette période.

OBS

Le calcul de l'incidence cumulée suppose que la population reste stable pendant toute la période d'étude et que tous les sujets soient suivis de façon identique, sans perdus de vue.

In 2003, $32M were dedicated over five years toward the development and implementation of the First Nations and Inuit Health Branch Targeted Immunization Strategy(FNIHB-TIS) to increase immunization coverage rates and ensure access to newly recommended vaccines. The goal of the program is to provide a strategy that integrates with the Canadian national immunization strategy, resulting in the reduced incidence of vaccine-preventable diseases and their sequelae by March 2008. The objectives of the program are to : Improve the coverage rates for routine immunizations in the targeted population of FN children under six years of age living on-reserve, and move towards the international immunization coverage target of 95%; Implement newly recommended vaccines(conjugate pneumococcal, conjugate meningococcal C, and varicella [chickenpox]) across the country or the targeted population ;Improve the data and understanding of immunization coverage rates, the incidence of vaccine-preventable diseases, barriers to immunization and best practices in implementation.

En 2003, 32 millions de dollars ont été affectés sur une période de cinq ans à l'élaboration et à la mise en œuvre de la Stratégie d'immunisation ciblée (SIC) de la Direction générale de la santé des Premières nations et des Inuits pour accroître la couverture vaccinale et assurer l'accès aux nouveaux vaccins recommandés. L'objet du programme est d'offrir une stratégie qui s'harmonise avec la stratégie nationale d'immunisation pour réduire l'incidence des maladies évitables par la vaccination et leurs séquelles d'ici mars 2008. Le programme vise les objectifs suivants : accroître l'immunisation systématique au sein de la population ciblée d'enfants des PN de moins de six ans et atteindre le taux mondial de couverture vaccinale, qui est de 95 pour 100; offrir à la population ciblée de tout le pays des vaccins nouvellement recommandés (vaccin conjugué antipneumococcique, vaccin antiméningococcique C conjugué et vaccin contre la varicelle); accroître le nombre de données sur les taux de couverture vaccinale et d'incidence des maladies évitables par la vaccination, les obstacles à l'immunisation et les pratiques exemplaires mises en œuvre, et favoriser une meilleure compréhension de ces facteurs.

CONT

Improved uniformity of the laser for-al spot profile is a necessary criterion for the success of high intensity laser fusion and to improve the quality of data from moderate intensity laser driven shock experiments in solids. Recently developed laser smoothing techniques rely on both temporal smoothing and thermal smoothing to produce uniform ablation pressures on the target surface. Thermal smoothing is not effective during the low intensity portion of a laser pulse and the resultant shock structure mirrors the residual laser nonuniformities. The impact of the first(nonuniform) shock can be diminished by using foam layers, a precursor flash, shallow angles of incidence, and by adiabatically compressing the target with a temporally long, slowly rising laser pulse.

Hierarchical classification. Classifiers utilizing hierarchical, or sequential, architectures generally perform well for remote sensing applications. Typically, when discriminating land cover types, there is a benefit to separating the data into general groupings rather than specific classes, as well as to removing those classes which are easily separable from the rest. This multiscale framework in terms of class separability reduces the complexity of the classifier, both in terms of training and decision making. This is because the classifier does not need to distinguish between all classes, just one class(or a few) from the rest. By employing a hierarchical classifier, different inputs can be used at each level of the overall classification process depending on the classes to be discriminated. This then allows for a possible reduction in the number of inputs, or for the use of class specific data such as topography, at a given level. The described benefits of a hierarchical architecture generally lead to an increase in classification accuracy.... A hierarchical version of the above MRF-based classifier was developed to account for the class dependent variation in backscatter associated with changes in incidence angle. A methodology for "correcting" SAR data according to class-specific models is described and is then presented as the first level in the architecture of the hierarchical classifier.

The Multi-look fine beam modes image in the same swath locations as the fine beam modes with approximately the same spatial resolution. However, with multiple looks, the multi-look fine beam mode product has improved radiometric resolution. The high data rate capacity of the recorders means that the multi-look data can be obtained without a reduction in swath width. As with the fine beam modes, beams image in the incidence angle range of 30 to 50 degrees. Multi-look fine beam mode images are generated in a single polarization.

RADARSAT ScanSAR Beam Modes : A ScanSAR beam mode is composed of either two, three, or four single beams. The sequence of beams is organized so that the data is collected from a larger area, than what can be collected using a single beam. The ability to "steer" the radar beam using different incidence angles increases the frequency of repeat coverage. For the ScanSAR beam modes, the radar backscatter decrease resulting from incidence angle differences within the image range should be considered before interpreting the image brightness of a specific target. Incidence angle corrections should be applied on the data before making a direct comparison of image brightness values from different Standard beam mode images.

CONT

The ScanSAR beam mode, a feature unique to RADARSAT, provides repeat coverage of large areas and yields critical information for strategic operations planning, ScanSAR provides information for scales on the order of 1:5,000,000 to 1:250,000.
