ForkNet: Strong Semantic Feature Representation and Subregion Supervision for Accurate Remote Sensing Change Detection

In this article, we propose an effective siamese feature pyramid network (FPN), ForkNet, for remote sensing change detection (RSCD).We find that the siamese network structure, which is widely used for RSCD, contains only one downsampling network in the feature extraction stage, e.g., VGG16 and ResNet-18, to extract the deep features of a single ima

Impact of male circumcision on the HIV epidemic in Papua New Guinea: a country with extensive foreskin cutting practices.

The degree to which adult medical male circumcision (MC) programs can reduce new HIV infections in a moderate HIV prevalence country like Papua New Guinea (PNG) are uncertain especially given the widespread prevalence of longitudinal foreskin cuts among adult males.We estimated the likely impact of a medical MC intervention in PNG using a mathemati
