HAS VACCINATION ALLEVIATED THE STRAIN ON HOSPITALS DUE TO COVID-19? A COMBINED DIFFERENCE-IN-DIFFERENCE AND SIMULATION APPROACH

Has vaccination alleviated the strain on hospitals due to COVID-19? A combined difference-in-difference and simulation approach

Abstract Background Serious measures, including mass vaccination, have been taken to ensure sufficient hospital capacity during the COVID-19 pandemic.Due to high hospitalization risk in the oldest age groups, most countries prioritized elderly for vaccines.The aim of this study is to broaden the understanding of how vaccination in younger age group

Identification of residues of SARS-CoV nsp1 that differentially affect inhibition of gene expression and antiviral signaling.

An epidemic of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) led to the identification of an associated coronavirus, SARS-CoV.This virus evades the host innate immune response in part through the expression of its non-structural protein (nsp) 1, which inhibits both host gene expression and virus- and interferon (IFN)-dependent signaling.Thus, nsp1 is a

Feature Rescaling and Fusion for Tiny Object Detection

Recent years have witnessed rapid developments on computer vision, however, there are still challenges in detecting tiny objects in a large-scale background.The tiny objects knowledge become sparse and weak due to their tiny size, which makes the tiny objects difficult to be detected with the common approaches.In this paper, a new network named Spe
