ABSTRACT Coping mechanisms adopted by households, when responding to shocks, have a direct impact on their short‐ and long‐term levels of destitution. Yet our understanding of these coping strategies relative to the type of shock and the impact on the poorest is dominated by literature that relies on limited observations, over rather short time periods—

This graphical abstract illustrates a symptom‐based machine learning framework for early prediction of SARS‐CoV‐2 infection. Clinical inputs such as SpO2, fever, cough, fatigue, and comorbidities are collected and preprocessed, followed by feature selection using a random forest‐based recursive elimination method.

Quantitative and amino acid sequence analysis of soluble HIV‐1 Vpu and calmodulin interactions
Abstract HIV‐1 Vpu supports viral adaptation through host‐protein interactions. Although mainly membrane‐associated, we recently identified a soluble Vpu form that forms a stable complex with Ca2+‐bound calmodulin (Ca2+–CaM), potentially influencing Vpu trafficking. Here, to determine the binding affinity and identify regions of soluble Vpu involved in
