TESTING THE EFFECT OF INTERNAL GENES DERIVED FROM A WILD-BIRD-ORIGIN H9N2 INFLUENZA A VIRUS ON THE PATHOGENICITY OF AN A/H7N9 VIRUS

Testing the Effect of Internal Genes Derived from a Wild-Bird-Origin H9N2 Influenza A Virus on the Pathogenicity of an A/H7N9 Virus

Since 2013, avian influenza A(H7N9) viruses have diversified into multiple lineages by dynamically reassorting with other viruses, especially H9N2, in Chinese poultry.Despite concerns about the pandemic threat posed by H7N9 viruses, little is known about the biological properties of H7N9 viruses that may recruit internal genes from genetically dist

War, Inflation, and Wages: The Labor Market in Finland, 1910-1925

The First World War was an immense economic shock also for the Finnish economy.As the war began, Finland, as the Grand Duchy of Russia, was cut off from its main export market in Western Europe.During the first war Lower Slide Tube years, however, Russian war-related demand boosted Finnish exports and industry (metal and textiles).This boom ended i

Fast hybrid tempered ensemble transform filter formulation for Bayesian elliptical problems via Sinkhorn approximation

Identification of unknown parameters on the basis of partial and noisy data is a challenging task, in particular in high dimensional and non-linear settings.Gaussian approximations to the problem, such as ensemble Kalman inversion, tend to be robust and computationally cheap and often produce astonishingly accurate estimations despite the simplifyi
