Background Motivated by the first mathematical model for schistosomiasis proposed by Macdonald and Barbour’s classical schistosomiasis model tracking the dynamics of infected human population and infected snail hosts in a community, in our previous study, we incorporated seasonal fluctuations into Barbour’s model, but ignored the effect of bovine reservoir host in the transmission of schistosomiasis...
In this paper, an image dimming perceptual model is proposed as the foundation of image compensation and quality evaluation. Specifically, under this model an ideal compensation function is derived out and objective quality metrics SSIM and PSNR are adopted to evaluate the compensation performance. A practical compensation function is obtained by modifying the ideal compensation function under the...
This paper presents a predictive control strategy named as generalized predictive control with closed-loop model identification for burn-through point (BTP) in sintering process. The closed-loop model identification method describes the dynamic characteristics of sintering process. Based on the model, the BTP generalized predictive control model predicts BTP accurately and computes the strand velocity...
