A Mathematical Model for the Within-Host Dynamics of Malaria Parasite with Adaptive Immune Responses by Jemal Muhammed Ahmed, Getachew Tashome Tilahun, Shambel Tadesse Degefa

“…Sensitivity analysis of the basic reproduction number shows that parameters representing the recruitment rate of uninfected red blood cells, infection rate of red blood cells by merozoites, and the average number of merozoites per ruptured infected red blood cells are the most influential ones in affecting the dynamics. Finally, several numerical simulations of the model are presented to supplement the theoretical and analytical findings. …”

Detection and Adaptive Video Processing of Hyperopia Scene in Sports Video by Qingjie Chen, Minkai Dong

“…When using Gaussian mixture model for modeling, improve the parts with differences, and keep the unmatched Gaussian distribution so that the modeling effect is similar to the actual background; the binary image is obtained through the difference between frames and the threshold, and the motion change domain is extracted through mathematical morphological filtering, and finally, the moving target is detected. The experiment proved the following: when there are more motion states, the recall rate is slightly better than that of the VIBE algorithm. …”

Do Not Miss the Tumor: A Novel Presentation of Osteosarcoma by Michael DePalma, Sachin Gupta, Jie Nguyen, Divya Talwar, Alexandre Arkader, Lawrence Wells

“…Additionally, we believe these clinicians should have a low threshold to refer patients to orthopedists or oncologic specialists in the cases of persistent pain or inconsistencies with history, physical exam, and diagnostic studies. Finally, direct communication and discussion between radiologists and referring clinicians helps decrease delays in diagnosing of osteosarcoma and other life-threatening conditions.…”
