In this paper, we propose studying the disease spread mechanism in the atmosphere as an engineering problem. Aerosol transmission is the most significant mode among the viral transmission mechanisms that do not include physical contact, where airflows carry virus-laden droplets over long distances. Throughout this work, we study the transport of these droplets as a molecular communication problem, where one has no control over the transmission source, but a robust receiver can be designed using bio-sensors. To this end, we present a complete system model and derive an end-to-end mathematical model for the transmission channel under certain constraints and boundary conditions. We derive the system response for both continuous sources such as breathing and jet or impulsive sources such as coughing and sneezing. In addition to transmitter and channel, we assumed a receiver architecture composed of air sampler and Silicon Nanowire field-effect transistor. Then, we formulate a detection problem to maximize the likelihood decision rule and minimize the corresponding missed detection probability. Finally, we present several numerical results to observe the impact of parameters that affect the performance and justify the feasibility of the proposed setup in related applications.

A neoteric technique, consisting of an iterative method for reconstructing symmetric 3D models, is proposed. The problem of curve fitting is solved by using spline function. Significant points are evaluated by a proposition and the optimal shape parameter values in the description of spline function are determined using Genetic Algorithm, an effectual soft computing technique.

Aerosol Transmission is one of the major spread mechanism for diseases and is responsible for transmission of virus over long distances. The advancement in nanotechnology has resulted in sensors and systems that allow us to deal with nanosized biological entities such as virus and bacteria. In this work, the idea of viewing virus transmission through aerosols and their transport as a molecular communication problem is introduced. In such problems one has little or no control over transmission, however, a robust receiver can be designed using nano-biosensors for information extraction. Thus, the objective of this work is to treat viral aerosol spread as a blind communication problem and present a mathematical model for it. Specifically, we study the virus transmission from an engineering perspective and derive an end-to-end mathematical model for virus transmission in the atmosphere. The receiver architecture composed of air sampler and Silicon Nanowire field effect transistor is also discussed. Furthermore, a detection problem is formulated and simulation results are reported that justify the feasibility of such setups in bio-monitoring applications.
