The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

ESG Performance, Debt Financing, and R&D Output: Evidence From the Healthcare Sector

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Amid growing calls for sustainability in the healthcare sector, this study examines how and under what conditions environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance influences research and development (R&D) output. Although existing studies suggest that ESG performance enhances R&D output, the financial mechanisms that enable or constrain

The Effect of Lactic Acid in Association With Steam in Reducing Microorganisms in Soft Wheat

Cereal Chemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Within the food industry, steam is an effective method of microbial reduction for a variety of products. Previous studies have shown that tempering soft wheat with organic acids, as well as steam application, can potentially reduce wheat's microbial load with minor changes in the functional properties of the flour ...

Mathematical modeling of the spread of the coronavirus under strict social restrictions

Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView., 2021
We formulate a simple susceptible‐infectious‐recovery (SIR) model to describe the spread of the coronavirus under strict social restrictions. The transmission rate in this model is exponentially decreasing with time. We find a formula for basic reproduction function and estimate the maximum number of daily infected individuals.

Effect of soiling agents on disinfection efficacy of a pulsed‐xenon UV lamp towards Listeria monocytogenes on stainless steel surfaces

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
This study quantifies the effects of different soils found in the food processing environment on the efficiency of pulsed‐xenon UV disinfection. Abstract Listeria monocytogenes is a foodborne illness that poses a significant threat to human health in young, old, and immunocompromised persons and accordingly, prevention of Listeria contamination is of ...

Optimizing Disease Outbreak Forecast Ensembles

Emerging Infectious Diseases
On the basis of historical influenza and COVID-19 forecasts, we found that more than 3 forecast models are needed to ensure robust ensemble accuracy. Additional models can improve ensemble performance, but with diminishing accuracy returns. This understanding will assist with the design of current and future collaborative infectious disease forecasting
