SIR Model with Dependent Infectivity and Death Rates

This work constructs, analyzes and simulates a new general SIR epidemiological model for the spread of a generic long-time disease, in which the coefficients of infectivity and death rate are system variables. Diseases, such as COVID-19, have demonstrated clearly that infectivity...

Molecular methods for differentiating Phragmites australis subspecies and identification of hybrid stands in the Upper Midwestern United States

Multi-Backbone U-Net segmentation and interpretable hybrid deep learning classification for lung cancer detection in chest CT images

Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, and its early and accurate diagnosis from chest CT imaging is complicated by overlapping radiological features between benign and malignant lesions, as well as by the limited cross-institution validation...
