PREDICTING EFFECTIVENESS OF COUNTERMEASURES DURING THE COVID-19 OUTBREAK IN SOUTH AFRICA USING AGENT-BASED SIMULATION

Predicting effectiveness of countermeasures during the COVID-19 outbreak in South Africa using agent-based simulation

Abstract COVID-19 has spread rapidly around the globe.While there has been a slow down of the spread in some countries, e.g., in China, the African continent is still at the beginning of a potentially wide spread of the virus.Owing to its economic strength and imbalances, South Africa is of particular relevance with regard to the drastic measures t

Dark side of the seesaw

Abstract In an attempt to unfold (if any) a possible connection between two apparently uncorrelated sectors, namely neutrino and dark matter, we consider the type-I seesaw and a fermion singlet dark matter to start with.Our construction suggests that there exists a scalar field mediator between these two sectors Wet Shaving whose vacuum expectation

Identification of PANoptosis-related genes for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis by machine learning and molecular subtype analysis

Abstract Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a severe interstitial lung disease characterized by a grim prognosis, in which various forms of cell death are significant contributors to its development.The objective of this study is to explore diagnostic biomarkers and molecular subtypes associated with PANoptosis in IPF, and to NPG-Surcharge deve
