A comparison of the effect of molluscum contagiosum virus MC159 and MC160 proteins on vaccinia virus virulence in intranasal and intradermal infection routes.
Molluscum contagiosum virus (MCV) causes persistent, benign skin neoplasm in children and adults. MCV is refractive to growth in standard tissue culture and there is no relevant animal model of infection. Here we investigated...
The Influence of Statistical Normalization Techniques on Performance Ranking Results
Nazlı Ersoy
Jan 01, 2022
In this study, the most suitable normalization techniques for the multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) method proposed by Biswas and Saha were compared and a real situation was analyzed. In the study, the financial performance...

Parasitic castration promotes coevolutionary cycling but also imposes a cost on sex
Antagonistic coevolution between hosts and parasites is thought to drive a range of biological phenomena including the maintenance of sexual reproduction. Of particular interest are conditions that produce persistent...
Sexually transmitted infections in polygamous mating systems
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are often associated with chronic diseases and can have severe impacts on host reproductive success. For airborne or socially transmitted pathogens, patterns of contact by which the...

Pathogen selection drives nonoverlapping associations between HLA loci
Pathogen-mediated selection is commonly invoked as an explanation for the exceptional polymorphism of the HLA gene cluster, but its role in generating and maintaining linkage disequilibrium between HLA loci is unclear. Here we...

Competing species leave many potential niches unfilled
A cornerstone of biology is that coexisting species evolve to occupy separate ecological niches. Classical theory predicts that interspecific competition should lead to all potential niches being occupied, yet observational data...

Spatial Structure Mitigates Fitness Costs in Host-Parasite Coevolution
The extent of population mixing is known to influence the coevolutionary outcomes of many host and parasite traits, including the evolution of generalism (the ability to resist or infect a broad range of genotypes). While the...

Effects of epistasis on infectivity range during host-parasite coevolution
Understanding how parasites adapt to changes in host resistance is crucial to evolutionary epidemiology. Experimental studies have demonstrated that parasites are more capable of adapting to gradual, rather than sudden changes...

An Empirical Analysis of the Joint Effects of Shoppers’ Goals and Attribute Display on Shoppers’ Evaluations
This article develops a decision-making framework that highlights how display of numeric attribute information (e.g., display of calorie information) and shoppers’ goals (i.e., having a diet focus vs. a taste focus) jointly...

Chhangte Vanlalveni, Samuel Lallianrawna, Ayushi Biswas, Manickam Selvaraj, Bishwajit Changmai, Samuel Lalthazuala Rokhum
May 17, 2022
Synthesis of metal nanoparticles using plant extracts is one of the most simple, convenient, economical, and environmentally friendly methods that mitigate the involvement of toxic chemicals. Hence, in recent years, several...
Disorder by design
X-ray diffraction, Amorphous silicon, Multi-objective optimization, Monte Carlo methods. This paper addresses a difficult inverse problem that involves the reconstruction of a three-dimensional model of tetrahedral amorphous...
Dual role of nanoparticles as drug carrier and drug.
Hirak Kumar Patra, Anjan Kr Dasgupta, Sounik Sarkar, Indranil Biswas, Arnab Chattopadhyay
Jul 31, 2019
The conventional chemotherapeutic agents used in the treatment of human malignancies are directed nonspecifically against both malignant and nonmalignant cells, often limiting their efficacy with having serious side effects....
