Phenotypic characterization of Leishmania spp. causing cutaneous leishmaniasis in the lower Amazon region, western Pará state, Brazil, reveals a putative hybrid parasite, Leishmania (Viannia) guyanensis × Leishmania (Viannia) shawi shawi

We phenotypically characterized 43 leishmanial parasites from cutaneous leishmaniasis by isoenzyme electrophoresis and the indirect immunofluorescence antibody test (23 McAbs).Identifications revealed 11 (25.6%) strains of Leishmania (V.) braziliensis, 4 (9.3%) of L.(V.) shawi shawi, 7 (16.3%) of L.(V.) shawi santarensis, 6 (13.9%) of L.(V.) guyane

Spatial–Spectral Feature Extraction With Local Covariance Matrix From Hyperspectral Images Through Hybrid Parallelization

This article presents the optimization and hybrid parallelization of a spatial–spectral feature extraction (FE) method from hyperspectral images (HSIs) using local covariance matrix (CM) representation, exploiting hybrid parallelism through multicore and manycore processors.The aim is to evaluate here the performance of parallel versions of
