Models of epidemic dynamics in the form of systems of differential equations of the type SIR and its generalizations, for example SEIR and SIRS, have become widespread in epidemiology. Their coefficients are averages of some epidemic indicators, for example the time when a person is contagious. Statistical data about spreading of the epidemic are known in discrete periods of time, for example twenty-four hours.

The dynamics of coronavirus cases is proposed to be modeled using switching regression whose switching points are unknown. The stepwise process of constructing the regression in time is described. The dynamics of the number of coronavirus cases in Ukraine is analyzed.

Environmental enrichment (EE) has been used as a positive manipulation in different disease models. However, there is conflicting evidence reported in the literature about the effects of EE. Additionally, the time period that would be most beneficial in implementing environmental enrichment as an intervention is not clear.

The SV40 large T antigen (LT) contains several discrete functional domains including the LXCXE or RB-binding motif, the DNA binding and helicase domains that contribute to the viral life cycle. In addition, the LT C-terminal region contains the host range and adenovirus helper functions required for lytic infection in certain restrictive cell types.

Understanding genotype-phenotype relationships requires that phenotypes be viewed as manifestations of network properties, rather than simply as the result of individual genomic variations. Genome sequencing efforts have identified numerous germline mutations, and large numbers of somatic genomic alterations, associated with a predisposition to cancer.
