SARS-CoV-2 evolution during treatment of chronic infection by Kemp, SA, Collier, DA, Datir, RP, Ferreira, IATM, Gayed, S, Jahun, A, Hosmillo, M, Rees-Spear, C, Mlcochova, P, Lumb, IU, Roberts, DJ, Chandra, A, Temperton, N, Sharrocks, K, Blane, E, Modis, Y, Leigh, KE, Briggs, JAG, van Gils, MJ, Smith, KGC, Bradley, JR, Smith, C, Doffinger, R, Ceron-Gutierrez, L, Barcenas-Morales, G, Pollock, DD, Goldstein, RA, Smielewska, A, Skittrall, JP, Gouliouris, T, Goodfellow, IG, Gkrania-Klotsas, E, Illingworth, CJR, McCoy, LE, Gupta, RK

“…Here we show that chronic infection with SARS-CoV-2 leads to viral evolution and reduced sensitivity to neutralizing antibodies in an immunosuppressed individual treated with convalescent plasma, by generating whole-genome ultra-deep sequences for 23 time points that span 101 days and using in vitro techniques to characterize the mutations revealed by sequencing. …”

Bioinformatics analysis and spatiotemporal distribution of the f lic gene and its protein isolated from Escherichia coli-infected patients in Eastern Algeria by Harrar, Abdenassar, Awang Hamat, Rukman, Hamidechi, Mohamed Abdelhafid

“…This study examined the presence of fliC mutant strains of E. coli in infected patients from different age groups, sexes and sample types in eastern Algerian provinces over a span of 2 years. Methods: This retrospective, cross-sectional study involved three provinces in eastern Algeria: i) Bordj Bou Arreridj, ii) Setif and iii) Batna. …”

A study of optimization methods for 3D reconstruction from 2D sketches by Kotlanka Ramakrishna.

“…This dissertation studies a specific process “Optimization of geometric reconstruction” in the problem of converting a 2D line drawing in to a 3D model. The solution being offered consists of two parts: identifying the circuits of edges in the drawing that form true faces of the 3D models, and then reconstruct the geometry using these faces as a basic.…”
