EVOLUTION OF THE PISCINE ORTHOREOVIRUS GENOME LINKED TO EMERGENCE OF HEART AND SKELETAL MUSCLE INFLAMMATION IN FARMED ATLANTIC SALMON (SALMO SALAR)

Evolution of the Piscine orthoreovirus Genome Linked to Emergence of Heart and Skeletal Muscle Inflammation in Farmed Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar)

Heart and skeletal muscle inflammation (HSMI) in farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) was first diagnosed in Norway in 1999.The disease is caused by Piscine orthoreovirus-1 (PRV-1).The virus is prevalent in farmed Atlantic salmon, but not always associated with disease.Phylogeny and sequence analyses of 31 PRV-1 genomes collected over a 30-year per

Simulating ice segregation and thaw consolidation in permafrost environments with the CryoGrid community model

The ground ice content in cold environments influences the permafrost thermal regime and the thaw trajectories in a warming climate, especially for soils containing excess ice.Despite their importance, the amount and distribution of ground ice are often unknown due to lacking field observations.Hence, modeling the thawing of ice-rich permafrost soi

Restricted attentional capacity within but not between sensory modalities: an individual differences approach.

Most people show a remarkable deficit to report the second of two targets when presented in close temporal succession, reflecting an attentional blink (AB).An aspect of the AB that is often ignored is that there are large individual differences in Containers the magnitude of the effect.Here we exploit these individual differences to address a long-

The smarty4covid dataset and knowledge base as a framework for interpretable physiological audio data analysis

Abstract Harnessing the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and m-health towards detecting new bio-markers indicative of the onset and progress of respiratory abnormalities/conditions has greatly attracted the scientific and research interest especially during COVID-19 pandemic.The smarty4covid dataset contains audio signals of cough (4,676), reg
