For this week's #MapPromptMonday, a couple of maps showing, at the Province level, the number of cases and deaths for #Dengue in #Peru for 2023 up to 2023-07-26, using data from DGE/MINSA.
Some provinces in the coast that have been more affected by cases, and usually they correlate with the number of deaths. Lima is an exception. A small number of provinces have not (yet) reported cases of Dengue.

For this week's #MapPromptMonday, with #desserts as topic. A look at how the harvest area for #cocoa beans has changed in South America: #Peru has increased that area 33x from 1961 to 2021, while other countries remain the same or lowered that area. How come I do not see 33x better #chocolate in the stores here?

For this week's #MapPromptMonday (2023-06-19), a comparison of the min. and max. temperatures during the Summer months in #Peru (Dec., Jan., Feb.) between the [1901-1930] and [1991-2020] periods. The min. temp has increased in all regions, whereas, and the max. temp has also gone up for 21 of 25 regions.

Here is an approach to do #2D #RLE applied to the processing of #ECG images: https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-981-13-5802-9_86, and also there is a 3D RLE approach for volumetric medical image data: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/13682199.2019.1565695
In my previous #Bioinformatics life, RLE was used, there is rle2() for the #Bio3D package which uses indices (http://thegrantlab.org/bio3d/reference/rle2.html).
Also, there is an improvement of RLE with a bit of Huffman encoding thrown in: https://arxiv.org/abs/2101.05329
