INTER- AND INTRA-HOST SEQUENCE DIVERSITY REVEAL THE EMERGENCE OF VIRAL VARIANTS DURING AN OVERWINTERING EPIDEMIC CAUSED BY DENGUE VIRUS SEROTYPE 2 IN SOUTHERN TAIWAN.

Purifying selection during dengue viral infection has been suggested as the driving force of viral evolution and the higher complexity of the intra-host quasi-species is thought to offer an adaptive advantage for arboviruses as they cycle between arthropod and vertebrate hosts.However, very few studies have been performed to investigate the viral g

This review highlights to what extent the embryo transfer (ET) activity in Europe was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.The ET represents a procedure of modern reproductive biotechnologies that is increasingly applied in farms animals.Commercial ET is applied to cattle and, albeit to a lesser extent, to other species.For this study, official data r

Advances in communications and sensing technology have enabled the development of cooperative ITS technologies such as connected and automated vehicle (CAV) applications including adaptive cruise control (ACC) and cooperative adaptive cruise control (CACC) that could perform driving tasks with little human feedback.However, there are some key conce

While the concept of Post-Occupancy Evaluation (POE) is widely applied in landscape architecture and other relevant fields, the term POE is not well-defined.By reviewing and analysing a representative set of POE definitions collected from existing academic and grey literature using content analysis methods, this study aims to enhance understanding
