A Threshold-Weighted Mathematical Fusion Model for Epidemic Outbreak Prediction Using SEIR Residual Dynamics and Cloud-Based Machine Learning
Abstract: Accurate prediction of epidemic outbreaks is critical for effective public health management, resource planning, early warning generation, and timely intervention by municipal authorities. Traditional compartmental models such as Susceptible–Exposed–Infectious–Recovered (SEIR) offer valuable epidemiological insights and mathematical interpretability; however, they may not adequately capture the complex nonlinear relationships present in real-world urban health systems. Conversely, data-driven machine learning techniques can identify hidden patterns in large datasets but often lack epidemiological structure …

Solid-State Reactions: Mechanistic Insights, Kinetic Behavior and Emerging Applications in Advanced Materials
Abstract: Solid-state reactions are fundamental to the synthesis and transformation of inorganic materials, playing a crucial role in the development of ceramics, semiconductors, catalysts, and energy storage systems. Unlike reactions in liquid or gaseous phases, they are limited by restricted atomic mobility and typically require elevated temperatures to enhance diffusion and overcome activation energy barriers. These reactions proceed through interfacial contact between solid reactants, followed by nucleation of product phases and …

Structural, Optical, Surface, and Gas-Sensing Properties of rGO/Sn1–xZnxO₂ Nanocomposites
Abstract: rGO/Sn₁–ₓZnₓO₂ nanocomposites with x = 0.00–0.75 were synthesized by sol–gel auto-combustion followed by wet impregnation with reduced graphene oxide. The adopted synthesis route enabled homogeneous Zn incorporation into the SnO₂ matrix and uniform distribution of rGO, leading to improved structural integrity and interfacial contact between the two components. XRD confirmed a dominant tetragonal cassiterite SnO₂ structure, while FTIR, FESEM, EDS, UV–visible, and BET analyses verified oxide–rGO coupling, Zn-dependent structural modification, …

A Review on Detection of Autism Spectrum Disorder Using Signal Processing
Abstract: AbstractAutism is a neural developmental disability associated with impairments in communication and social interaction; it can be detected by various methods such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Electroencephalography (EEG). MRI is a technique which captures the image of various sections of brain. It is categorised as structural MRI (sMRI) and functional MRI (fMRI). The detection involves capturing the image, removing the unwanted regions of brain, segmenting the images and …

Comparative Analysis of Neural Network and Linear Regression Applied to Black Friday Data
Abstract: AbstractIn this study, it compares two different types of neural networks. First is a single layer neural network and other is multiple hidden layer neural network. For just comparisons it is ensured that both uses the same activation and output functions and have the same number of nodes and parameters. The networks are trained by the gradient descent algorithm to approximate linear and quadratic functions and examine their convergence properties. …

Comparative Study of Structure-from-Motion Algorithms 3D Shape Reconstruction
Abstract: 3D shape reconstruction from multiview photographs and video sequences (2D images) is an active area of research. Existing face recognition systems are based on 2D facial images and exhibit well-known deficiencies. Accordingly, the face recognition research is gradually shifting from classical 2D to sophisticated 3D or hybrid 2D/3D. Currently the 3D reconstruction algorithms may be grouped in to four categories. These are shape-from-X, 3D morphable model (3DMM), structure from motion …
