An SIRS epidemic model with nonlinear incidence rate is studied. It is assumed that susceptible and infectious individuals have constant immigration rates. By means of Dulac function and Poincare-Bendixson Theorem, we proved the global asymptotical stable results of the disease-free equilibrium. It is then obtained the model undergoes Hopf bifurcation and existence of one limit cycle. Some numerical simulations are given to illustrate the analytical results.

In this paper, we study the global dynamics of an SIRS epidemic model with nonlinear inci- dence rate. By means of Dulac function and Poincare-Bendixson Theorem, we proved the global asy- mptotical stable results of the disease-free equilibrium. It is then obtained the model undergoes Hopf bifurcation and existence of one limit cycle. Some numerical simulations are given to illustrate the an- alytical results.

The high performance cement concrete mixture design for pavement was studied through a series of laboratory experiments based on an actual project program. We analyzed the data by principal component analysis and tested the concrete performance of strength, shrink and freeze-resistance. The results of a series of experiments indicated that the dry-shrink rate was reduced obviously by using expanding agent. The flexural elastic modulus increased as the flexural strength increasing. Adding air-entraining agent could improve the air content of the concrete, and as a result, the flexural elastic modulus was reduced and freeze-resistance performance was enhanced greatly.

This paper considers an SEIQS model with nonlinear incidence rate. By means of Lyapunov function and LaSalle’s invariant set theorem, we proved the global asymptotical stable results of the disease-free equilibrium. It is then obtained the sufficent conditions for the global stability of the endemic equilibrium by the compound matrix theory. In addition, we also study the phenomena of limit cycle of the systems with the numerical simulations.
