An Efficient Conjugate Gradient Method Based on the Conjugacy Condition with an Application in Motion Control

In this paper, we propose a new conjugate gradient method where the generated search direction satisfies the sufficient descent condition. Also, the calculation of the new conjugate gradient parameter incorporates the use of the conjugacy condition. Global convergence is established under the strong Wolfe line search and numerical experiments demonstrate the effectiveness and...

Numerical Simulation of Kink Collisions, Analytical Solutions and Conservation Laws of the Potential Korteweg–de Vries Equation

In this study, we investigate the nonlinear potential Korteweg–de Vries equation (pKdVe) by making use of the Lie group analysis. We start by constructing Lie symmetries and thereafter utilize them to execute symmetry reductions of pKdVe. We then obtain solutions of the pKdVe by using the direct integration method. The obtained solutions are demonstrated in respect of Jacobi...

In this article, we introduce generalized beta extension of Sz $$\acute{a}$$ sz-integral type operators and study their approximation properties. First, we calculate the some estimates for these operators. Further, we study the uniform convergence and order of approximation in terms of Korovkin-type theorem and modulus of continuity for the space of univariate continuous...

Assessing the Strength and Deformation Properties of Serpentinite Rocks in Dry and Saturated Conditions

It is clear that the engineering properties of various rocks in dry and wet conditions are different. In general, the properties decrease with the presence of water.

A comprehensive laboratory test program was planned to...

Optimal Control Strategies to Cope with Unemployment During the Covid-19 Pandemic

In the present paper, a mathematical model using the non-linear differential equations depicting the impact of Covid-19 on unemployment is discussed. The stability of the system is studied and model is reformulated as an optimal control problem. To assess the impact of unemployment on human population, two time-dependent controls are used. Providing education and training of job...

Computational Insights and Virtual Screening of Repurposed FDA-Approved Drug Against SARS-CoV-2 Protease

In recent times, the emergence of novel Coronavirus and the successive mutations in the viral genome has posed a major threat to public health with strikingly high mortality and morbidity rates across the globe. To address the health concern, the current scenario demands the need for effective therapeutics and at present, the anti-viral drug Remdesivir has been used worldwide to...

Fungal Bioremediation of the Plasticizer Hazardous Compound di-2-Ethylhexyl Phthalate (DEHP) in Urine and Blood Bags

The hazardous compound di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) is widely used as polyvinyl chloride plasticizer. The present research studied the fungal biodegradation of DEHP contained in blood and urine bags. Soil-plate method was used for fungal isolation from heavily plastic polluted soil using Martin’s and Sabouraud’s agar media, where DEHP was the sole carbon source. Isolated...

Optimal Approximation of Fractional Order Brain Tumor Model Using Generalized Laguerre Polynomials

A brain tumor occurs when abnormal cells form within the brain. Glioblastoma (GB) is an aggressive and fast-growing type of brain tumor that invades brain tissue or spinal cord. GB evolves from astrocytic glial cells in the central nervous system. GB can occur at almost any age, but the occurrence increases with advancing age in older adults. Its symptoms may include nausea...

Malachite Green-Based Detection of SARS-CoV-2 by One-Step Reverse Transcription Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification

The pandemic of severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2) revealed the necessity of diagnosis of the infected people to prevent the prevalence infection cycle. Many commercial pathogen diagnosis methods are based on the detection of genomic materials. Isothermal amplification methods such as loop-mediated-isothermal amplification (LAMP) are the method of choice in these...

Global Dynamics of a Two-Strain Disease Model with Amplification, Nonlinear Incidence and Treatment

In recent years, antibiotic resistance to the most effective treatments has emerged and spread. This has led to a decline in the efficacy of antibiotics used to treat patients, with drug-resistant strain experiencing much higher failure rates and serious side effects. In this study, we considered two-strains (e.g., drug-susceptible and drug-resistant) susceptible-infected...

A Review on COVID-19: Primary Receptor, Endothelial Dysfunction, Related Comorbidities, and Therapeutics

Since December 2019, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) has caused a global pandemic named coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) and resulted in a worldwide economic crisis. Utilizing the spike-like protein on its surface, the SARS-CoV-2 binds to the receptor angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), which highly expresses on the surface of many cell types...

Model Development and Prediction of Covid-19 Pandemic in Bangladesh with Nonlinear Incident

We introduce a SEIRD compartmental model to analyze the dynamics of the pandemic in Bangladesh. The multi-wave patterns of the new infective in Bangladesh from the day of the official confirmation to August 15, 2021, are simulated in the proposed SEIRD model. To solve the model equations numerically, we use the RK-45 method. Primarily, we establish some theorems including local...

An INAR(1) Time Series Model via a Modified Discrete Burr–Hatke with Medical Applications

This paper introduces a flexible discrete transmuted record type discrete Burr–Hatke (TRT-DBH) model that seems suitable for handling over-dispersion and equi-dispersion in count data analysis. Further to the elegant properties of the TRT-DBH, we propose, in the time series context, a first-order integer-valued autoregressive process with TRT-DBH distributed innovations [TRBH...

The Trend of IgG and IgM Antibodies During 6-Month Period After the Disease Episode in COVID-19 Patients

SARS-CoV-2 is a newly emerged coronavirus that has been widely transmitted since late 2019. It has caused a pandemic and infected roughly 450 million people globally.Hitherto, there is no approved anti-COVID-19 treatment, and vaccination is the only experienced preventive strategy. It mainly promotes the immune system, which is vital as a barrier against COVID-19. Humoral...

Dynamical Analysis of COVID-19 Model Incorporating Environmental Factors

The continuing coronavirus pandemic has come up with considerable questions in front of the world. Presently, India is among concerned countries in Asia. Even though the recovery rate is more than the death rate, it is affecting human lives and experiencing losses to the market. Several methods were employed to study the spread of novel coronavirus. Mathematical modeling is one...
