Genomic epidemiology and evolution of Bordetella pertussis under the vaccination pressure of acellular vaccines in Beijing, China, 2020–2023 by Zhen Li, Fei Xiao, Yue Hou, Bin Jia, Ji Zhuang, Yang Cao, Jianxin Ma, Jianhong Zhao, Zengquan Xu, Zhe Jia, Fang Liu, Lin Pang, Jie Liu

“…The dominant antigen genotype among the 60 isolates was ptxP3/prn2/ptxA1/fim2-1/fim3-1/tcfA2 (88.3%), differing from the prevalent genotype ptxP-1/prn-1/ptxA-1 in Beijing prior to 2019 and the vaccine strain genotype ptxP-1/prn-1/ptxA-2/fim2-1/fim3-1/tcfA2. Evolutionary analysis revealed significant genetic shifts associated with the introduction of vaccines, particularly acellular vaccines. …”

Integrating multi-layered biological priors to improve genomic prediction accuracy in beef cattle by Zhida Zhao, Qunhao Niu, Jiayuan Wu, Tianyi Wu, Xueyuan Xie, Zezhao Wang, Lupei Zhang, Huijiang Gao, Xue Gao, Lingyang Xu, Bo Zhu, Junya Li

“…Results We observed significant enrichments for 32 functional categories in 11 feature sets. The evolutionary related sets (conservation regions and selection signatures) contributed significantly to heritability (31.78-fold and 14.48-fold enrichment), while metabolomics and transcriptomics showed low heritability enrichments. …”

Advanced Fractional Mathematics, Fractional Calculus, Algorithms and Artificial Intelligence with Applications in Complex Chaotic Systems by Dumitru Baleanu, Yeliz Karaca

“…Complexity entails holistic understanding of various processes through multi-stage integrative models across spanning scales for expounding complex systems while following actuality across evolutionary path. Moreover, Fractional Calculus (FC), related to the dynamics of complicated real-world problems, ensures emerging processes adopting fractional dynamics rather than the ordinary integer-ordered ones, which means the related differential equations feature non integer valued derivatives. …”

Gravitational wave luminosity distance for Starobinsky gravity in viscous cosmological models by Jia-nan Chi, Ya-Bo Wu, Yu Sang, Xue Zhang, Yi-liang Hu, Wen-zhong Liu, Bo-hai Chen

“…We observe that, in the range of $$0< z\le 8.2$$ 0 < z ≤ 8.2 , the evolutionary curves of $$\delta (z)$$ δ ( z ) and $$d_L^{GW}(z)/d_L^{EM}(z)$$ d L GW ( z ) / d L EM ( z ) exhibit that $$\delta (z)$$ δ ( z ) ( $$d_L^{GW}(z)/d_L^{EM}(z)$$ d L GW ( z ) / d L EM ( z ) ) monotonically decrease (increase) as redshift rises, moreover there are always $$\delta (z)<0$$ δ ( z ) < 0 and $$d_L^{GW}(z)\ge d_L^{EM}(z)$$ d L GW ( z ) ≥ d L EM ( z ) , specially $$d_L^{GW}(0)=d_L^{EM}(0)$$ d L GW ( 0 ) = d L EM ( 0 ) in the limit of $$z\rightarrow 0$$ z → 0 , which means that detecting GW signals might represent a more efficient tool than detecting EM signals to test modified gravity model on the given scale of cosmic distances. …”

Evolution of burnout syndrome in Spanish healthcare professionals during and after the COVID-19 pandemic: psychosocial variables involved by Fernanda Gil-Almagro, Fernanda Gil-Almagro, Fernanda Gil-Almagro, F. Javier Carmona-Monge, Fernando J. García-Hedrera, Cecilia Peñacoba-Puente

“…The preceding literature also points to the need to consider the three elements of burnout independently, as they appear to have different evolutionary trends and possibly different buffering and amplifying variables, although these aspects have hardly been explored.MethodsThe aim of the present investigation is precisely to shed light on these latter issues. …”
