Background China witnessed a surge of Omicron infections after abandoning ‘zero COVID’
strategies on 7 December 2022. The authorities report very sparse deaths based on very …

Different modeling approaches can be used to calculate excess deaths for the COVID-19
pandemic period. We compared 6 calculations of excess deaths (4 previously published [3 …

In this work, we run a numerical experiment to study the behaviour of incompressible Newtonian
fluids with anisotropic temperature-dependent viscosity in forced convection turbulence. …

Excess death estimates have great value in public health, but they can be sensitive to
analytical choices. Here we propose a multiverse analysis approach that considers all possible …

Several teams have been publishing global estimates of excess deaths during the COVID‐19
pandemic. Here, we examine potential flaws and underappreciated sources of uncertainty …

We give statistical definitions of the length, l, of a loose prime knot tied into a long, fluctuating
ring macromolecule. Monte Carlo results for the equilibrium, good solvent regime show that…

What happened after China abandoned 3 years of a zero COVID-19 policy on December 7,
2022, is contested. Chinese authorities’ announcements diverge from critical Western …

The use of left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) as a treatment method for heart failure
patients has been steadily increasing; however, pathological studies showed presence of …

Solute convection in porous media at high Rayleigh-Darcy numbers has important fundamental
features and may also bear implications for geological CO2 sequestration processes. …

DNA encoded chemical libraries (DELs) link the powers of genetics and chemical synthesis
via combinatorial optimization. Through combinatorial chemistry, DELs can grow to the …
