Abstract Background The COVID-19 pandemic is adversely impacting modern human civilization.A global view using a systems science approach is necessary to recognize the close interactions between health of animals, humans and the environment.Discussion A model is developed initially by describing five sequential or parallel steps on how a RNA virus

In this paper we report on the design of a pipeline involving Common Spatial Patterns (CSP), a signal processing approach commonly used in the field of electroencephalography (EEG), matrix representation of features and image classification to categorize videos taken by a humanoid robot.The ultimate goal is to endow the robot with action recognitio

The Yellow-shouldered Amazon (Amazona barbadensis) is the sole parrot of the genus Amazona that inhabits only dry forests.Its population has Clothes been dropping; therefore it has been the topic of many studies and conservation efforts.However, the phylogenetic relationship of this species to potential relatives classified within the Yellow-Headed

The quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) nano-technique has attracted computer scientists due to its noticeable features such as low power consumption and small size.Many papers have been published in the literature about the utilization of this technology for de-signing many QCA circuits and for presenting logic gates in an optimal structure.The T

Desalination plants have an important concern regarding controlling the permeate flow rate and pH during operability.This paper proposes the proportional integral derivative (PID) control design using modified Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) techniques called autonomous groups PSO (AGPSO) in the two-input two-output (TITO) RO desalination plant t
