Basic reproduction number for certain infectious porcine diseases: estimation of required level of vaccination or depopulation of susceptible animals by V. M. Gulenkin, F. I. Korennoy, A. K. Karaulov

“…Basic reproduction number (R0) is one of the fundamental quantitative characteristics in epidemiology of infectious human and animal diseases. This parameter reflects the biological properties of the infectious agent, the social and economic aspects of animal husbandry, natural factors associated with the habitat of the animal population invaded by the virus (microorganism), as well as the effectiveness of methods selected for infection control, in particular, the implementation of preventive measures; it also allows foreseeing the number and probability of occurrence of new secondary outbreaks in the area at risk of the disease spread. …”

Research on Density Peak Clustering Color-Separation Algorithm Based on SOM Neural Network by Xin Ru, Yanhao Wang, Ran Chen, Zhifa Zeng, Laihu Peng, Wei Tang, Weimin Shi, Hui Wang

“…To solve these problems, In this paper, we propose a density peak clustering color-separation algorithm based on self-organizing mapping (SOM) neural network, which firstly uses enhanced super-resolution generative adversarial network (Real-ESRGAN) blind super-resolution reconstruction network to clarify the degraded image and obtain a high-resolution image with clear boundaries; secondly, we carry out the initial clustering through the SOM neural network to simplify the image information; and then we use an improved density peak clustering (DPC) algorithm to calculate clustering centers under the conditions of conforming to the perception of human eyes, and carry out secondary clustering on the image; finally, carry out image post-processing through the variegated spots merging algorithm based on the connected component analysis. …”
