Epidemic trend analysis of SARS‐CoV‐2 in South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation countries using modified susceptible‐infected‐recovered predictive model

Engineering Reports, Volume 5, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
An short‐mid‐long term prediction model has been designed to understand the early dynamics of the COVID‐19 epidemic in the southeast Asian region. Based on the proposed prediction model we estimated the epidemic trend of COVID‐19 outbreak in SAARC countries for 20 days (short term), 90 days (mid‐term), and 180 days (long term), respectively.

Use of Honey-Bee Mating Optimization Algorithm to Design Water Distribution Network in Gurudeniya Service Zone, Gurudeniya, Sri Lanka [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
Water distribution network (WDN) is a highly complex urban infrastructure that is intended to supply water from source node to consumer nodes. As far as the components of an infrastructure are concerned, the interconnecting pipes that transport water from source node to the demand nodes account for the major fraction of the capital cost.

Stimulation‐induced entrainment of hippocampal network activity: Identifying optimal input frequencies

Hippocampus, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 85-95, February 2023., 2023
Abstract The hippocampus contains rich oscillatory activity, with continuous ebbs and flows of rhythmic currents that constrain its ability to integrate inputs. During associative learning, the hippocampus must integrate inputs from a range of sources carrying information about events and the contexts in which they occur.
