Prioritizing simulation-based stress tests to assess the resilience of transport systems: a computation-free methodology by Hossein Nasrazadani, Maria Nogal, Bryan T. Adey, Stergios A. Mitoulis

“…The methodology was validated through application to a Swiss road network facing flooding, demonstrating its practical effectiveness in identifying stress tests with significant potential impact on risks, hence having higher priority for more detailed assessment. In the presented case study, the proposed method enabled instant screening of 80 stress test scenarios, saving approximately 56 weeks of computation.…”

SimOutbreakSelection: a simulation-based tool to optimise sampling design and analysis strategies for detecting epidemic-driven selection by Cindy G. Santander, Ida Moltke

“…The examples also show that comparing those who died from an outbreak to survivors has the potential to render higher power than more commonly used sampling schemes. And importantly, they show that even for severe outbreaks, like the Black Death (≈50% mortality), selection may have led to only a modest increase in allele frequency, suggesting large sample sizes are required to obtain appropriate power. …”

eDNA Sampling Detects Early Colonization of Spotted Lanternfly Lycorma delicatula Better Than In‐Person Scouting in an Urban Landscape by Daiyanera Kelsey, Jonathan Lee‐Rodriguez, Andy Michel, Christopher M. Ranger, Luis Canas, Ashley Leach

“…SLF is often found in association with tree‐of‐heaven (Ailanthus altissima), near rail lines, and in disturbed areas; however, further data is needed to understand how these factors increase the risk of spotted lanternfly detection. Over 2 years, we sampled for spotted lanternfly using two methods: in‐person scouting and eDNA sampling over 45 sites in Cleveland, OH during peak SLF activity (May–October). …”

Rapid quantitative screening of 15 synthetic cannabinoids in urine using direct analysis in real time tandem mass spectrometry: Screening method validation and cross-correlation st... by Jenna Covey, Alex Maggitti, William Fatigante, Francois Espourteille, Holly Lombardo, Terry Bates

“…These performance metrics fall within the acceptable ranges for urine screening analyses as set forth by American National Standards Institute/Academy Standards Board (ANSI/ASB) guidelines and demonstrate performance comparable to LC-MS/MS confirmatory methods. Validation experiments with authentic urine samples confirmed positive for one or more target analytes indicated good correlation for quantitation of synthetic cannabinoids as measured by DART-MS/MS versus liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS).…”
