T-cell immunity to SARS-CoV-2: what if the known best is not the optimal course for the long run? Adapting to evolving targets

Humanity did surprisingly well so far, considering how unprepared it was to respond to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) threat.By blending old and ingenious new technology in the context of the accumulated knowledge on other human coronaviruses, several vaccine candidates were produced and tested in clinical trials in record time.Today, Roll

Simulation-based estimation of the economic benefits implied by coordinated balancing capacity procurement and deployment in a day-ahead market model

In this paper we analyze how increasing levels of cooperation in reserve procurement and activation affect the implied economic benefits and the respective network loads assuming various paradigms of Extractors coordination.To approach the question we construct a simulation model based on the portfolio-bidding day-ahead market clearing context, whi

Analysis of the immune response of infected bovines with anaplasma marginale. Identification of infection stage marker antigens

It is hypothesized the existence of marker antigens capable to define early (acute phase) or late (convalescent phase) infection course with Anaplasma marginale.Five parasitologically free hybrid calves were splenectomized and experimentally infected with a Zulia isolate of Anaplasma marginale.Sera samples were collected before inoculation and duri
