COOPERATIVE INTERACTIONS IN THE WEST NILE VIRUS MUTANT SWARM

Cooperative interactions in the West Nile virus mutant swarm

Abstract Background RNA viruses including arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) exist as highly genetically diverse mutant swarms within individual hosts.A more complete understanding of the phenotypic correlates of these diverse swarms is needed in order to equate RNA swarm breadth and composition to specific adaptive and evolutionary outcomes.Res

Spontaneous combustion of coals and coal-shales

Spontaneous combustion of coal is a well-known phenomena around the globe.Apart from the coal itself, burning Lice coal-shales is becoming a problem in the South African coal mines.Serious incidents of spontaneous combustion have been reported as a result of self-heating of reactive coal-shales.The intrinsic properties and spontaneous combustion te

The simplified equipment selection method for the cove lighting

Cove lighting has become a widespread way of interior lighting due to the current popularization of linear LED strips.It is a type of indirect lighting usually used as interior decoration.However, it is possible to use this lighting type to meet general lighting requirements.The work presents the theoretical description of the cove lighting effects

Nonlocality without entanglement: Quantum theory and beyond

Quantum nonlocality without entanglement (Q-NWE) captures nonlocal behavior of multipartite product states as they may entail global operation for optimal decoding of the classical information encoded in the state ensemble that allows local preparation.In this Rapid Communication we show that the phenomena of NWE is not specific to quantum theory o

A cross-sectional survey of potential factors, motivations, and barriers influencing research participation and retention among people who use drugs in the rural USA

Abstract Background Despite high morbidity and mortality among people who use Western Felt drugs (PWUD) in rural America, most research is conducted within urban areas.Our objective was to describe influencing factors, motivations, and barriers to research participation and retention among rural PWUD.Methods We recruited 255 eligible participants f
