Sommario/riassunto

Childhood Programs and Practices in the First Decade of Life presents research findings on the effects of early childhood programs and practices in the first decade of life and their implications for policy development and reform. Leading scholars in the multidisciplinary field of human development and in early childhood learning discuss the effects and cost-effectiveness of the most influential model, state, and federally funded programs, policies, and practices. These include Head Start, Early Head Start, the WIC nutrition program, Nurse Family Partnership, and Perry Preschool as well as school reform strategies. This volume provides a unique multidisciplinary approach to understanding and improving interventions, practices, and policies to optimally foster human capital over the life course.

Sommario/riassunto

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 14th International Workshop, CDMRI 2023, held in conjunction with MICCAI 2023, the 26th International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention. The conference took place in Vancouver, BC, Canada, on October 8, 2023. The 17regular papers presented in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 19 submissions. These contributions cover various aspects, including preprocessing, signal modeling, tractography, bundle segmentation, and clinical applications. Many of these studies employ novel machine learning implementations, highlighting the evolving landscape of techniques beyond the more traditional physics-based algorithms.
