Analysis of Fractional Differential Inclusion Models for COVID-19 via Fixed Point Results in Metric Space by Monairah Alansari, Mohammed Shehu Shagari

“…In particular, fractional-order differential inclusion models are more suitable for describing epidemics. Thus, as a generalization of a newly launched existence result for fractional-order model for COVID-19, using Banach and Shauder fixed point theorems, we investigate solvability criteria of a novel Caputo-type fractional-order differential inclusion model for COVID-19 by applying a standard fixed point theorem of multivalued contraction. …”

Rice Leaf Disease Image Enhancement Based on Improved CycleGAN by YAN Congkuan, ZHU Dequan, MENG Fankai, YANG Yuqing, TANG Qixing, ZHANG Aifang, LIAO Juan

“…Notably, the detection accuracy of the YOLOv5s model increased from 79.7% to 93.8%, representing a considerable enhancement in both generalization ability and robustness. This improvement also effectively reduced the rates of false positives and false negatives, resulting in more stable and reliable performance in rice disease detection tasks.ConclusionsThe rice leaf disease image generation method based on the improved CycleGAN model, as proposed in this study, effectively transforms images of healthy leaves into those depicting disease symptoms. …”
