Abstract

This paper deals with a novel decision-making scheme for inferring the allocation of vaccines to the provincial health care authorities by the central health care authority of a country in pandemic scenarios. This novel scheme utilizes a fuzzy logic-based inference scheme that utilizes the spread rate and population of a province as inputs to infer the vaccination rate. The proposed scheme is evaluated on the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) data from six southern states of India during the first week of October 2020, collected from the database maintained by the Government of India. The findings demonstrate that the suggested plan, which takes population and spread rate into account, makes sure that enough vaccination doses are distributed to the provinces with a larger spread rate with a higher priority, and that immunizations are not delayed in provinces with controlled spread rates. Also, in due course, all territories will appropriately distribute enough vaccine supply to control the spread. Therefore, this plan strengthens the efforts to control the pandemic outbreaks by ensuring the proper and balanced delivery of vaccines in a timely, efficient, and objective manner.

Abstract

This research work designs a variant of second-order sliding mode control scheme, making use of varying sliding surface inferred using a fuzzy inference system. The varying sliding surface is an effective strategy to improve controller performance. A surface with a relative degree of two is first built by accounting for the uncertainties and perturbances of the system. Thereafter, in order to enhance the dynamics of the system being controlled, a varying sliding surface based on a straightforward double input-single output fuzzy logic inference architecture is proposed. The controller ensures system's reaching conditions, and also the stability and robustness. The designed control scheme is studied in comparison with a sliding mode controller of second order having a constant surface of sliding using SIMULINK based simulation for a nonlinear system. The comparison shows that the proposed strategy exhibits an improved dynamic performance than the conventional sliding mode control of second order having a constant surface of sliding.

Abstract

For agricultural productivity and food security to be guaranteed, early detection and treatment of illnesses are crucial. Machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) approaches can be used to precisely and successfully identify plant leaf diseases. A heterogeneous dataset comprising photos of both healthy and diseased leaves such as bacterial blights, fungal infections, and viral manifestations provides the foundation for the model building and training. Accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score are the measures used to assess the model's performance. ML techniques are helpful in the identification and extraction of pertinent information from plant leaf pictures, whereas DL techniques in general, and convolutional neural networks (CNN), in particular, are remarkable at learning complex hierarchical representations. Therefore, DL architectures like CNN are utilized in conjunction with ML approaches like support vector machines (SVM), decision trees, and random forests to extract complicated patterns and attributes from leaf pictures. This research provides an extensive analysis of the performance and application of DL and ML approaches recently applied to the early identification of leaf diseases in different crops.

Abstract

Pandemics, such as coronavirus disease COVID-19 are known to cause massive damage to the world's economic growth and their impacts are serious and influence across every aspect of social structure. The most inevitable factor in responding to the disaster of pandemics is the right management in terms of allocating a limited vaccine supply. The focus of this research work is to utilize a fuzzy logic inference system in the allocation of vaccine doses to the regional authorities by a central authority. The objective is obtained by designing a system based on fuzzy logic that considers the spread rate as the input to infer the vaccination rate of the local population. This system makes it possible for sufficient doses of vaccines to be allotted to the prioritized regions where the severity of the spread rate is a concern and vaccines are not held up in regions where the severity of the spread rate is lesser. The designed system is verified using MATLAB software, which shows that this method can ensure an effective and efficient allocation of vaccination in the local regions and aid the fight against the disastrous spread of the disease.

Abstract

Sliding mode control (SMC) has been widely used in the control of non-linear systems due to many inherent properties like superposition, multiple isolated equilibrium points, finite escape time, limit cycle, bifurcation. This research proposes super-twisting controller architecture with a varying sliding surface; the sliding surface being adjusted by a simple single input-single output (SISO) fuzzy logic inference system. The proposed super-twisting controller utilizes a varying sliding surface with an online slope update using a SISO fuzzy logic inference system. This rotates sliding surface in the direction of enhancing the dynamic performance of the system without compromising steady state performance and stability. The performance of the proposed controller is compared to that of the basic super-twisting sliding mode (STSM) controller with a fixed sliding surface through simulations for a benchmark non-linear system control system model with parametric uncertainties and disturbances. The simulation results have confirmed that the proposed approach has the improved dynamic performance in terms of faster response than the typical STSM controller with a fixed sliding surface. This improved dynamic performance is achieved without affecting robustness, system stability and level of accuracy in tracking. The proposed control approach is straightforward to implement since the sliding surface slope is regulated by a SISO fuzzy logic inference system. The MATLAB/Simulink is used to display the efficiency of proposed system over conventional system.
