On March 11th 2020, World Health Organization (WHO) declared the 2019 novel corona virus as global pandemic. Corona virus, also known as COVID-19 was first originated in Wuhan, Hubei province in China around December 2019 and spread out all over the world within few weeks. Based on the public datasets provided by John Hopkins university and Canadian health authority, we have developed a forecasting model of COVID-19 outbreak in Canada using state-of-the-art Deep Learning (DL) models. In this novel research, we evaluated the key features to predict the trends and possible stopping time of the current COVID-19 outbreak in Canada and around the world. In this paper we presented the Long short-term memory (LSTM) networks, a deep learning approach to forecast the future COVID-19 cases. Based on the results of our Long short-term memory (LSTM) network, we predicted the possible ending point of this outbreak will be around June 2020. In addition to that, we compared transmission rates of Canada with Italy and USA. Here we also presented the 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 14th day predictions for 2 successive days. Our forecasts in this paper is based on the available data until March 31, 2020. To the best of our knowledge, this of the few studies to use LSTM networks to forecast the infectious diseases.

Neural Dynamics Analysis for A Novel Bio-inspired Logistic Spiking Neuron Model

Lei Zhang

Summary: The research aims to analyze and optimize a single spiking neuron model for constructing Spiking Neural Network (SNN). The hardware implementation of SNN has advantages of low power consumption and fast speed, making it suitable for battery-powered consumer electronic systems. This paper presents the dynamical analysis of a novel logistic spiking neuron model, provides a derivation for the differential equation of the model, explores the effects of model parameters on neuron dynamics, and demonstrates bifurcation phenomenon by controlling input stimulation current. A trigonometric representation in polar coordinates is also introduced to examine the neuron's periodic property.

Oscillation Patterns of A Complex Exponential Neural Network

Lei Zhang

Summary: The paper presents the design and evaluation of a complex exponential neural network model, which aims to reduce computation and improve efficiency in neural networks by developing a mathematical representation for neural oscillation. The study shows that the difference in oscillation frequencies between two neurons is the dominant parameter that determines the oscillation patterns of the network.

Summary: The study investigated solar irradiance and climatic conditions at eight locations on a University campus in Regina, Saskatchewan. It found that solar utilities with automatically adjusting PV receivers could increase energy capture, but solar irradiance was lower in August. Some locations were more susceptible to shadow effects, highlighting the importance of spatial allocations of these small smart disposal bin systems.

Stochastic optimal control and piecewise parameterization and optimization method for inventory control system improvement

Bo Li, Tian Huang

Summary: This paper proposes an approximate optimal strategy based on a piecewise parameterization and optimization (PPAO) method for solving optimization problems in stochastic control systems. The method obtains a piecewise parameter control by solving first-order differential equations, which simplifies the control form and ensures a small model error.

Development of a contact force model with a fluid damping factor for immersed collision events

Gengxiang Wang, Yang Liu, Caishan Liu

Summary: This investigation studies the impact behavior of a contact body in a fluidic environment. A dissipated coefficient is introduced to describe the energy dissipation caused by hydrodynamic forces. A new fluid damping factor is derived to depict the coupling between liquid and solid, as well as the coupling between solid and solid. A new coefficient of restitution (CoR) is proposed to determine the actual physical impact. A new contact force model with a fluid damping factor tailored for immersed collision events is proposed.
