Optimal allocation of antenatal and young child nutrition interventions: an individual-based global burden of disease calibrated microsimulation by Alison Bowman, Sylvia Lutze, James Albright, Nathaniel Blair-Stahn, Hussain Jafari, Simar Kaur, Caroline Kinuthia, Rajan Mudambi, Patrick Nast, Alix Pletcher, Abraham Flaxman

“…We also developed an analytic approach to process the results of the microsimulation and identify the optimal intervention funding allocation for a given budget size. We use Ethiopia as an example in this paper. Results In our illustrative example of Ethiopia, the reallocation of the baseline budget to minimize disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) resulted in first funding the antenatal multiple micronutrients to their maximum coverage and then funding treatment for severe child acute malnutrition. …”

An Approach for RGB-Guided Dense 3D Displacement Estimation in TLS-Based Geomonitoring by Z. Wang, J. A. Butt, J. A. Butt, S. Huang, N. Meyer, T. Medić, A. Wieser

“…Experiments on real measurements obtained from a rockfall simulator and from a real-world landslide demonstrate that our method achieves comparable accuracy to state-of-the-art geometry-based methods, with improved density and computational efficiency. By using radiometric features, our approach complements geometry-based methods, suggesting that combining both will enhance coverage and/or accuracy for geomonitoring applications.…”
