SARS-CoV2, which causes coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is continuing to spread globally, producing new variants and has become a pandemic. People have lost their lives not only due the virus but also because of lack counter measures in place. Given increasing caseload uncertainty spread, there an urgent need develop robust artificial intelligence techniques predict COVID-19. In this paper, we p...

In the article, the problem of new religious movements (NRM) is regarded as a a specific form of modern religiosity, shaped under the influence of the deconstruction of traditional religious normative conventions. The special attention is paid to the identification processes, influenced by NRMs, particularly to such controversial aspects as its destructive potential for the human personality. A...

Distinct crustal remanent magnetic anomalies are a strong indicator of rocks with stable natural magnetization (NRM) carriers. The latter able to store information on the history rock over long geological periods, and can therefore be used for variety applications in field paleomagnetism magnetism. Typically, paleomagnetic rock-magnetic studies rely bulk properties. With advent high-resolution ...

Agricultural researchers around the globe are taking on complex, multi-faceted environmental and livelihood challenges. In doing so, they are searching for, testing and proposing a number of methods and approaches that depart from those normally used in traditional agricultural research. There are several driving forces behind this evolution: a growing dissatisfaction of governments and donors ...

Significant steps have occurred in Australia towards devolving responsibilities for natural resource management (NRM) to community-based regional bodies, especially in motivating farmers to adopt priority conservation practices. A challenge remains in effectively engaging the large populations covered by these bodies. Following previous research indicating the value of nested multi-level (i.e.,...

Repeated injection of opioid analgesics can lead to a progressive loss of effect. This phenomenon is known as tolerance. Several lines of investigations have shown that systemic, intraperitoneal administration or the microinjection of non-opioid analgesics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) into the midbrain periaqueductal gray matter induces antinociception with some effects of to...

MOTIVATION The importance of stochasticity in biological systems is becoming increasingly recognized and the computational cost of biologically realistic stochastic simulations urgently requires development of efficient software. We present a new software tool STOCHSIMGPU that exploits graphics processing units (GPUs) for parallel stochastic simulations of biological/chemical reaction systems a...

Model-based predictors derived from historical data are rarely evaluated before they are used to draw inferences. We performeda temporal validation, (i.e. assessed theperformance of apredictivemodel usingdata collected from the same population after the model was developed) of a statistical predictor for the number of successful breeding pairs of wolvesCanis lupus in the northernRockyMountains ...
