Early, very high-titre convalescent plasma therapy in clinically vulnerable individuals with mild COVID-19 (COVIC-19): protocol for a randomised, open-label trial by Desmarets, M, Hoffmann, S, Vauchy, C, Rijnders, BJA, Toussirot, E, Durrbach, A, Körper, S, Schrezenmeier, E, van der Schoot, CE, Harvala, H, Brunotte, G, Appl, T, Seifried, E, Tiberghien, P, Bradshaw, D, Roberts, DJ, Estcourt, LJ, Schrezenmeier, H

“…A comprehensive number of clinical trials on CCP efficacy have already been conducted. However, many aspects of CCP treatment still require investigations: in particular (1) Optimisation of the CCP product, (2) Identification of the patient population in need and most likely to benefit from this treatment approach, (3) Timing of administration and (4) CCP efficacy across viral variants in vivo. …”

Brazil: pre-salt outlook by Chauhan, V

“…Less than 10 years ago, at the height of the commodities boom, Brazil was assured a place as an oil world powerhouse, following the discovery of oil in its subsalt basins. Much faith has been put in Brazil delivering the barrels needed to keep the medium-term oil market in reasonable balance. …”

Applications of deep learning for physical layer of wireless communication systems by Xie, Yihang

“…The 1D-TRNet receiver outperforms traditional OFDM receivers and state-of-the-art generalized approximate message passing (GAMP) receivers in terms of bit-error rate (BER) performance. The third research work proposes a deep learning-based 5G receiver, named communication transformer network (Comm-Trans Net), which is designed to be robust for different sub-types of TDL channels. …”
