POPULATION-BASED SEQUENCING OF MYCOBACTERIUM TUBERCULOSIS REVEALS HOW CURRENT POPULATION DYNAMICS ARE SHAPED BY PAST EPIDEMICS

Population-based sequencing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis reveals how current population dynamics are shaped by past epidemics

Transmission is a driver of tuberculosis (TB) epidemics in high-burden regions, with assumed negligible impact in low-burden areas.However, we still lack a full characterization of transmission dynamics in settings with similar and different burdens.Genomic epidemiology can greatly help to quantify transmission, but the lack of whole genome sequenc

A magnetic-field independent approach for strongly anisotropic equations arising plasma-edge transport simulations

[Summary] The control of the power exhaust in tokamaks is still an open issue for the future fusion operations.The heat loads on divertor and limiter PFCs is largely determined by the physics of the Scrape-Off Layer (SOL), and therefore it depends mainly on the geometry of the magnetic surfaces garden torch and on the geometry of wall components.A
