GLYCOSYLATION OF HEMAGGLUTININ AND NEURAMINIDASE OF INFLUENZA A VIRUS AS SIGNATURE FOR ECOLOGICAL SPILLOVER AND ADAPTATION AMONG INFLUENZA RESERVOIRS

Glycosylation of Hemagglutinin and Neuraminidase of Influenza A Virus as Signature for Ecological Spillover and Adaptation among Influenza Reservoirs

Glycosylation of the hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) of the influenza provides crucial means for immune evasion and viral fitness in a host population.However, the time-dependent dynamics of each glycosylation sites have not been addressed.We monitored the potential N-linked glycosylation (NLG) sites of over 10,000 HA and NA of H1N1 subty

DETERMINING TRAVEL DELAY OF VEHICLES QUEUE AT A TRAFFIC SIGNAL

Mathematical modelling assumes that the vehicle’s volume has a uniform pattern.Due to traffic lights settings, the number of vehicles queue grows linearly.The reality, the stochastic arrivals of the vehicles could be Specialty Lighting (1) in the randomized arrivals, (2) in the form of groups/ platoon, or (3) in the mixed arrivals.It is obse
