The Basic Reproduction Number

In this article, a time-dependent susceptible-infected-recovered (SIR) model is constructed to investigate the transmission rate of COVID-19 in various regions of India. The model included the fundamental parameters on which the transmission rate of the infection is dependent, like the population density, contact rate, recovery rate, and intensity of the infection in the respective region. Looking at the great diversity in different geographic locations in India, we determined to calculate the basic reproduction number for all Indian districts based on the COVID-19 data till 7 July 2020. By preparing district-wise spatial distribution maps with the help of ArcGIS 10.2, the model was employed to show the effect of complete lockdown on the transmission rate of the COVID-19 infection in Indian districts. Moreover, with the model's transformation to the fractional ordered dynamical system, we found that the nature of the proposed SIR model is different for the different order of the systems. The sensitivity analysis of the basic reproduction number is done graphically which forecasts the change in the transmission rate of COVID-19 infection with change in different parameters. In the numerical simulation section, oscillations and variations in the model compartments are shown for two different situations, with and without lockdown.

The paper is devoted to the theoretical and experimental analysis of an electric circuit consisting of two elements that are described by fractional derivatives of different orders. These elements are designed and performed as RC ladders with properly selected values of resistances and capacitances. Different orders of differentiation lead to the state-space system model, in which each state variable has a different order of fractional derivative. Solutions for such models are presented for three cases of derivative operators: Classical (first-order differentiation), Caputo definition, and Conformable Fractional Derivative (CFD). Using theoretical models, the step responses of the fractional electrical circuit were computed and compared with the measurements of a real electrical system.

A concept of higher order complexity is proposed in this letter. If a randomness-finding complexity [Rapp & Schmah, 2000] is taken as the complexity measure, the first-order complexity is suggested to be a measure of randomness of the original time series, while the second-order complexity is a measure of its degree of nonstationarity. A different order is associated with each different aspect of complexity. Using logistic mapping repeatedly, some quasi-stationary time series were constructed, the nonstationarity degree of which could be expected theoretically. The estimation of the second-order complexity of these time series shows that the second-order complexities do reflect the degree of nonstationarity and thus can be considered as its indicator. It is also shown that the second-order complexities of the EEG signals from subjects doing mental arithmetic are significantly higher than those from subjects in deep sleep or resting with eyes closed.

This paper proposes a robust fault diagnosis scheme based on modified sliding mode observer, which reconstructs wind turbine hydraulic pitch actuator faults as well as simultaneous sensor faults. The wind turbine under consideration is a 4.8 MW benchmark model developed by Aalborg University and kk-electronic a/s. Rotor rotational speed, generator rotational speed, blade pitch angle and generator torque have different order of magnitudes. Since the dedicated sensors experience faults with quite different values, simultaneous fault reconstruction of these sensors is a challenging task. To address this challenge, some modifications are applied to the classic sliding mode observer to realize simultaneous fault estimation. The modifications are mainly suggested to the discontinuous injection switching term as the nonlinear part of observer. The proposed fault diagnosis scheme does not require know the exact value of nonlinear aerodynamic torque and is robust to disturbance/modelling uncertainties. The aerodynamic torque mapping, represented as a two-dimensional look up table in the benchmark model, is estimated by an analytical expression. The pitch actuator low pressure faults are identified using some fault indicators. By filtering the outputs and defining an augmented state vector, the sensor faults are converted to actuator faults. Several fault scenarios, including the pitch actuator low pressure faults and simultaneous sensor faults, are simulated in the wind turbine benchmark in the presence of measurement noises. Simulation results show that the modified observer immediately and faithfully estimates the actuator faults as well as simultaneous sensor faults with different order of magnitudes.

Abstract Cucullanus marajoara n. sp. (Cucullanidae) is reported to parasitize Colomesus psittacus (Tetraodontiformes), which is a fish species from the Marajó Archipelago, state of Pará, estuarine region of the Brazilian Amazon. The new species differs from similar species by the presence of a protruding upper lip on the cloacal opening, the distribution of the cloacal papillae: five pre-cloacal papillae pairs and 5 are ventral and located posteriorly to the pre-cloacal sucker and an unpaired papilla is located on the upper cloacal lip and five post-cloacal pairs, and a pair of lateral phasmids located between papillae pairs. Additionally, Cucullanus marajoara n. sp. is compared to other species of this genus described in Brazil, particularly Cucullanus ageneiosus and Cucullanus oswaldocruzi, which both occur in the same zoogeographic region of this study but parasitize fish of a different order (Siluriformes). Cucullanus dodsworthi and Cucullanus brevicaudatus are the only described species parasitizing fish of the order Tetradontiformes in Brazil, and the new species differs from these species by the distribution of the cloacal papillae and the host habitat. The description of Cucullanus marajoara n. sp. adds data to the biodiversity of described parasites that parasitize Tetradontiformes of the estuarine ichthyofauna in the Brazilian Amazon.

Abstract The study determines the extent of soil disturbances occurring during mechanised harvesting operations in a beech timber stand and investigates whether applying different research methods can be used to classify, in a comparable way, forest areas with different levels of soil damage. In the analysed stand, felling and on-side processing were conducted with chainsaws, while extraction - using an farm tractor. After the completion of logging operations, visible soil disturbances on each sample plot were measured, including surface area, volume and depth, and the value of five most common indicators of soil damage was calculated. The share of disturbed surface area, the volume of soil disturbances and different soil damage indicators allowed sample plots to be arranged in the same way according to increasing levels of soil damage occurring during harvesting. A different order was observed only in relation to the depth of the ruts formed. The similarity of the applied measures and classifications of soil disturbances indicates that all of the methods can be applied to make simple comparisons of the degree of soil damage. Because field trials are easy to perform, soil damage indicators based on a visual assessment of soil condition, without the need to take measurements, are worth recommending at first. A fuller picture of the level and nature of detected soil damage, however, can be obtained by taking into account the depth of the disturbance.

The Report of the Professions Joint Working Party (1978) raises a number of questions. The first of these springs from the composition of the Working Party. Five of the organizations are overtly in business to train and certify practitioners of psychotherapy along psychodynamic lines, but though the Report speaks collectively of ‘seven organizations representing practitioners of psychotherapy’ neither the British Association for Behaviour Psychotherapy nor the Royal College of Psychiatrists can be categorized in the same way. Each of these organizations raises issues of a different order.
