Modeling Transport of SARS-CoV-2 Inside a Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) Bus
Fluids, 2022 We present in this paper a model of the transport of human respiratory particles on a Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) bus to examine the efficacy of interventions to limit exposure to SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. The methods discussed

A comparative study of mirror self-recognition in three corvid species [PDF]
, 2023 Mirror self-recognition (MSR) assessed by the Mark Test has been the staple test for the study of animal self-awareness. When tested in this paradigm, corvid species return discrepant results, with only the Eurasian magpies and the Indian house crow ...
