Superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzyme has implications in modulating the cell's redox state. The study aims to explore the host genetic factors that limit the heterologous expression of a thermostable SOD from Potentilla atrosanguinea (Pa-SOD) in E. coli. It was observed that the heterologous expression of Pa-SOD in E. coli did not exhibit any enhancem...

Sars-CoV2 is a novel coronavirus that is transmitted to humans through zoonosis and characterised by mild to moderate pneumonia-like symptoms. The outbreak began in Wuhan, China, and has now spread on a global scale. Doubling time is the amount of period taken for a particular entity (that tends to grow over time) to double its size/value. This stu...

An epidemiological model for COVID-19 was developed and implemented in MATLAB/GNU Octave for use by public health practitioners, policy makers, and the general public. The model distinguishes four stages in the disease: infected, sick, seriously sick, and better. The model was preliminarily parameterized based on observations of the spread of the d...

The recent development of molten salt fast reactors has generated a renewed interest in them. As compared to traditional solid fuel fast neutron systems, it has many unique advantages, e.g., lower fissile inventory, no initial criticality reserve, waste reduction, and a simplified fuel cycle. It has been recognized as an ideal reactor for achieving...

In this paper I examine the sensitivity of total UK Covid-19 deaths and the demand for intensive care and ward beds, to the timing and duration of suppression periods during a 500- day period. This is achieved via a SEIR model. Using an expected latent period of 4.5 days and infectious period of 3.8 days, R 0 was first estimated as 3.18 using obser...

BackgroundAs COVID-19 makes its way around the globe, each nation must decide when and how to respond. Yet many knowledge gaps persist, and many countries lack the capacity to develop complex models to assess risk and response. This paper aimed to meet this need by developing a model that uses case reporting data as input and provides a four-tiered...

Measures are important to healthcare outcomes. Outcome changes result from deliberate selective intervention introduction on a measure. If measures can be characterized and categorized, then the resulting schema may be generalized and utilized as a framework for uniquely identifying, packaging and comparing different interventions and probing targe...

The adaptability of ISO 14001 is considered as one of the most useful tools for environmental sustainability and worldwide competitive advantage; however, the future of ISO 14001 certification faces some uncertainties because of its uneven acceptance in various countries. These uncertainties, if not properly managed, can hinder the implementation o...

PurposeThe doubling times of tumor volume and tumor markers are associated with the prognosis of liver or lung metastases from colorectal cancer (CRC). However, no studies have assessed peritoneal metastases. Therefore, we aimed to elucidate the association between doubling time and the prognosis of patients who underwent radical surgery for metach...

BackgroundBreast cancer growth is generally expected to differ between tumor subtypes. We aimed to evaluate tumor doubling time (DT) using ultrasonography and verify whether each tumor subtype has a unique DT.MethodsThis retrospective study included 265 patients with invasive breast cancer who received serial ultrasonography between diagnosis and s...
