The study investigated prediction forecasts using the ARIMA model on the COVID-19 data on the...

A Survey on the Effectiveness of Online Teaching–Learning Methods for University and College Students

Online teaching–learning methods have been followed by world-class universities for more than a decade to cater to the needs of students who stay far away from universities/colleges. But during the COVID-19 pandemic period, online teaching–learning helped almost all universities, colleges, and affiliated students. An attempt is made to find the effectiveness of online teaching...

Evolution of Smart Healthcare: Telemedicine During COVID-19 Pandemic

Telemedicine is considered as the "Natural evolution of healthcare in the digital world." In India, considering the vast geographical spread, predominant rural population, and sound medicinal services overwhelmingly accessible in urban areas, telemedicine has immense potential to grow from its nascent stages. The progression of technology-enabled transformations will provide an...

Simulations of Lévy Walk

The simulation of stable distributions was performed to study an ideal movement pattern for the spread of a virus using an autonomous carrier. It has been observed that Lévy walks are the most ideal way to spread and further study was done on how the parameters in Lévy distribution affect the spread.

South Asian Countries are Less Fatal Concerning COVID-19: A Fact-finding Procedure Integrating Machine Learning & Multiple Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) Technique

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) which caused an outbreak of pneumonia in December 2019 in Wuhan, China, has spread rapidly throughout the world.
