Smoking behaviour, involuntary smoking, attitudes towards smoke-free legislations, and tobacco control activities in the European Union [PDF]
, 2013 The six most important cost-effective policies on tobacco control can be measured by the Tobacco Control Scale (TCS). The objective of our study was to describe the correlation between the TCS and smoking prevalence, self-reported exposure to secondhand ...

Functional analysis of the N-terminal basic motif of a eukaryotic satellite RNA virus capsid protein in replication and packaging [PDF]
Scientific Reports 2016; 6: 26328, 2016 Efficient replication and assembly of virus particles are integral to the establishment of infection. In addition to the primary role of the capsid protein (CP) in encapsidating the RNA progeny, experimental evidence on positive sense single-stranded RNA viruses suggests that the CP also regulates RNA synthesis. Here, we demonstrate that replication of

Improving tobacco social contagion models using agent-based simulations on networks [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Over the years, population-level tobacco control policies have considerably reduced smoking prevalence worldwide. However, the rate of decline of smoking prevalence is slowing down. Therefore, there is a need for models that capture the full complexity of the smoking epidemic.

Charge mechanism of low-frequency stimulated Raman scattering in virus suspensions [PDF]
, 2021 A simple physical mechanism of stimulated light scattering on viruses in a water suspension (similar to Langmuir wave mechanism in plasma) is proposed. The proposed mechanism is based on the dipole interaction between the light wave and the inevitable uncompensated electrical charge on a virus in a water environment. Experimental data on tobacco mosaic
