Study And Evaluation Of Parameters Influencing Parkison’S Disease Using 3d Cnn, Caroline El Fiorenza J, V. Sellam

Applied Mathematics & Information Sciences

A diagnostic method of determining protein structure in persons for Parkinson’s disease (PD) would be a 3D imaging scan. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), which are efficient when used with spatial data, are suitable candidates for automating this diagnostic procedure to assist medical workers. The protein structure of PD patients was evaluated or diagnosed using a Improved Faster Recurrent Convolutional Neural Network (IFRCNN) ordinal model in this article. A data preprocessing technique was modified to operate PD because IFRCNNs require big datasets to operate acceptably. We take into account the Improved Shortest Paths Ordinal Graph-based Oversampling (ISP-OGO) technique that employs a …

Applied Mathematics & Information Sciences

We deal with a complete normed space $E$, a scalar sequence space $\lambda$, and an Orlicz mapping $M$ to introduce and study some properties of the spaces $\lambda_M\{E\}$ of all $E-$valued sequences that are absolutely $(\lambda, M)$-summable. Denote by $\lambda_M\{E\}_{r}$ the subspace of $\lambda_M\{E\}$ whose elements are AK-sequences. We describe the continuous linear forms on this space in term of $E^*-$valued sequences that are absolutely $(\lambda^*, N)$-summable, where $N$ is the Orlicz mapping complement of $M$.

Modelling And Optimal Control Strategies Of Corruption Dynamics, Temesgen Duressa Keno, Fekadu Mosisa Legesse

Applied Mathematics & Information Sciences

In this study, we presented a non linear deterministic corruption transmission dynamics using optimal control analysis and cost effective strategies. To begin, we demonstrated that in a given set of initial conditions, the model solution is non-negative and bounded. A basic reproductive number is calculated using the corruption-free equilibrium point via the next generation matrix. The linearization and the Lyapunov function are then used to demonstrate how corruption-free equilibrium is both locally and globally stable. The corruption-free equilibrium point is asymptotically stable both locally and globally if the basic reproduction number is less than one; otherwise, an endemic corruption equilibrium …

Detecting Retinal Damage With Image Analysis Using Machine Learning Algorithm, Anitha. E, A. Antonidoss

Applied Mathematics & Information Sciences

Retina is an important layer of tissue in the back of the eye. The retina’s primary job is to gather light that the lens has focused, convert the light into neural signals, and send those signals to the brain for optical compensation. This crucial tissue may appear damaged due to retinal detachment (RD). Such conditions can impair vision and undoubtedly have the potential to be severe enough to cause blindness. It can be challenging to identify the damage since the layers and the nerve connections are too delicate and thin, and they may be mistaken for another illness. IMRCNN, an …
