ABSTRACT
The SARS-CoV-2 has a confirmed case count of about 11.3 million and a death count of about 158,000 in India as of March 13th, 2021. Despite the early social distancing and lockdown measures imposed by the government, these counts have continued to rise. Mathematical models prove extremely useful to predict the course of the pandemic and for the government to strategize accordingly. Over due course several models have emerged to predict the number of COVID-19 cases, but a thorough comparison among them is lacking. In this paper, we propose three novel Hybrid Models based on the compartment-based modeling over data from January 22nd, 2020 to December 3rd 2020 and then make comparisons among them and show through experiments that each performs a better fitting and prediction on the Johns Hopkins COVID-19 dataset pertaining to India than all other benchmark models discussed. Comparison of our proposed Hybrid models with the existing compartment models like SIR, SIRD and SEIRD demonstrates that our proposed Hybrid models not only overcome the performance inefficiencies related to the existing compartmental models but also achieve a better fitting on the Johns Hopkins COVID-19 dataset. © 2022 IEEE.
ABSTRACT
The integral relationship between diet and health is well established now these days;therefore the proper utilization of nutrient-rich residues from food industries for designing the value added products, is the basic target for the modern food industry. Whey, is an important dairy industry waste and has been categorized to be admirable nourishment with an assortment of bioactive components. Whey protein comprises 20% of total milk protein provides a biological activity that surpasses the properties of superior quality amino acids. These proteins are one of the very few ingredients shown to modulate immune function in both in-vitro cell culture studies and in-vivo animal models. Whey proteins have proved beneficial against a wide spectrum of life threating diseases like cancer, diabetes, hypertension, obesity etc. This protein is also very useful for the recovery of exercise-injuries or skin diseases from radiations. Apart from health beneficial effects, it has several functional activities like fat replacer and emulsifier. This valuable protein is proving to be an immune-nutrient and its dietary interference to tackle life threating disease like cancer or viral diseases like COVID-19. © 2021, Narendra Publishing House, Delhi, India.
