Previously, we developed a mathematical model via molecular simulation analysis to predict the infectivity of six SARS-CoV-2 variants.In this report, we aimed to predict the relative risk of the recent new variants of SARS-CoV-2 based on our previous research.We subjected Omicron BA.4/5 and BA.2.75 variants of SARS-CoV-2 to the analysis to determin
Relative density is an important index affecting the mechanical behaviors of nemacor maxx calcareous sands.The dense sands present softening strength, whereas the loose sands exhibit hardening strength.Furthermore, the relative density is determined based on the maximum and minimum void ratios obtained by using the maximum and minimum dry density t
Plants respond to herbivore attack by rapidly inducing defenses that are mainly regulated by jasmonic acid (JA).Due to the systemic nature of induced defenses, attack by root herbivores can also result in a shoot response and vice versa, causing interactions between above- and belowground herbivores.However, little is known about the molecular mech
IntroductionImmune-checkpoint inhibitors are effective in various advanced cancers.Type 1 diabetes mellitus induced by them (ICI-T1DM) is a serious complication requiring prompt insulin treatment, but the immunological mechanism behind it is unclear.MethodsWe examined amino acid polymorphisms in human histocompatibility leukocyte antigen (HLA) mole
In the pandemic, rapid and accurate detection of SARS-CoV-2 is crucial in controlling the outbreak.Recent studies have shown a high detection rate using saliva/oral fluids as specimens for laboratory detection of the virus.We intended to evaluate the test performance of the Xpert Xpress SARS-CoV-2 detroit tigers throwback hat cartridge assay in com
