Abstract While first-generation, spike (S)-based COVID-19 vaccines were effective against early SARS-CoV-2 strains, the rapid evolution of novel Omicron subvariants have substantially reduced vaccine efficacy.As such, broadly protective vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 are needed to prevent future viral emergence.In addition, it remains less clear wheth
More Efficient and Reliable: Identifying RRab Stars with Blazhko Effect by Deep Convolutional Neural Network
The physical origin of the Blazhko effect (BL), a phenomenon of a single or multiple periodic modulation(s) of the light curve, is under debate.Efficiently identifying and characterizing the BL is essential in understanding its origins and accounting for its effect on numerous applications of RRabs in the era of large time-domain surveys.In this st
Biosurfactants: An Overview of Their Properties, Production, and Application in Mineral Flotation
