This paper aims at demonstrating how and that model predictive control (MPC) strategies can be used to determine optimal intervention policies against the COVID-19 pandemic. Especially for the time after a first wave of infection and before a vaccine can be safely distributed to a sufficient extent, the intervention experience from the first outbreak can be utilized to guide the policy decision in this period. The MPC problem in this paper takes the pandemic in different regions of a country and its neighboring countries into account, while policies such as wearing masks or social distancing are selected as inputs to be optimized. This optimized policy balances the risk of a second outbreak and socio-economic costs, while considering that the measure should not be too severe to be rejected by the population. Effectiveness of this policy compared to standard intervention policies is compared through numerical simulations.

In a complex environment, when B-RRT and RRT* algorithms are used for path planning, there will be problems such as long planned paths, large number of iterations, low sampling efficiency and long search time. To solve these problems, this paper proposes a gamma interpolation bidirectional RRT algorithm––GIB-RRT. First, the algorithm uses a bidirectional search strategy to expand two random trees simultaneously to speed up the convergence speed. In the expansion process, an adaptive goal biasing strategy is introduced to improve the sampling efficiency, and the probability of expansion to the respective target point is continuously changed according to the number of collision detection failures. After the initial path is obtained, a greedy pruning algorithm is used to simplify the path points and reduce the path cost. An optimisation method of Gamma interpolation is then devised for the simplified path and combined with cubic uniform B-spline curve to generate shorter and smoothly executable path. The proposed algorithm is compared with B-RRT*, IB-RRT* and B-RRT in different complex environments in simulation experiment, and the results show that the proposed algorithm has better search efficiency and is able to obtain optimal path in the least time and with the most stable efficiency.

Knee meniscus tear is a common joint disorder that is usually diagnosed with the help of MRI imaging. However, the diagnosis of a meniscal tear places high technical demands on physicians, and the results of the diagnosis are also inconsistent. In this paper, a meniscal tear detection method based on YOLOv5 target detection network is developed to help physicians make more accurate diagnoses. To begin, a channel and space parallel attention module is designed and integrated into the feature fusion part of the network to improve the network's attention to the tear area. Then, ConvNeXt is used in the backbone network part to improve the C3 module to obtain the ConvC3 module, which strengthens the ability of the backbone network to extract the features of the meniscal tear lesion area. After labelling and creating the dataset, the improved YOLOv5 network is trained to obtain the target model. The experimental results show that compared with the original model, the improved YOLOv5 model has an increased mAP from 82.5% to 84.8%, a slight decrease in GFLOPs as well, and presents an overall considerable improvement. This model plays an important role in the diagnosis of meniscal tears.

In this paper, we present a time-delay approach to gradient-based bounded extremum seeking (ES) with large measurement constant delay, for an unknown single-input static quadratic map. We assume that the extremum point and the Hessian $H$ belong to known intervals, whereas the sign of $H$ is known. We apply a time-delay approach to the bounded ES system and arrive at the neutral type system with a nominal linear delayed system. We present the latter system as a retarded one and employ variation of constants formula for practical stability analysis. Explicit conditions in terms of simple scalar inequalities depending on tuning parameters and delay are established to guarantee the practical stability of the bounded ES control systems. Given any delay and neighborhood of the extremum point and through the solution of the constructed inequalities, we find lower bounds on the dither period that ensures the practical stability.

This paper is concerned the problem of multi-sensor state estimation with cross-correlated noise, this paper adopts sequential fusion to estimate the state. The statistical characteristics of measurement noise of different sensors in the multi-sensor system is related, and also related to the system noise in one step. Firstly, based on the estimation of observation noise, a global optimal fusion filter based on sequential fusion and Cubature Kalman filter is proposed for the first time. Secondly, the algorithm proposed in this paper is simulated by numerical method. The method of numerical realization is Cubature Kalman filter based on deterministic sampling. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated by a simulation example.

Clinical diagnosis of ovarian diseases is mainly based on ultrasonography. Due to the susceptibility of ultrasound images to noise, and the special characteristics and defects of ovarian ultrasound images themselves are prominent, there are some limitations in the existing preprocessing and feature extraction methods. To address the above problems, this paper proposes an enhanced preprocessing and fast principal component analysis (PCA) feature extraction algorithm for ovarian ultrasound images. Combining the unique characteristics of ovarian ultrasound images, the image preprocessing algorithm is designed using a strategy that combines image sharpening using Robert’s operator with linear transformation of contrast. The traditional PCA algorithm is improved to reduce and extract ovarian image features more effectively. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can achieve a generalization rate of 89.79%, AUC of 0.9136 and a duration of 1.98s.
