Using a recent polarizable model for water (the BK3 model), we explore the collective dynamic modes in liquid water by molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. The dynamic structure factor and the longitudinal and transverse current correlation spectral densities are computed over the whole frequency range below intramolecular excitations. MD results of atom-atom partial correlation functions are fitted using the Generalized Collective Modes (GCMs) model, involving relaxing modes occurring in the longitudinal component and propagating modes occurring in both components.

In order to take preventive measures against any vector-borne disease, it is important to gather information on both the host and vector species. species are mainly mammalophilic, ornithophilic or ornithophilic/mammalophilic, but females have also been found to occasionally feed on engorged insects.

Somatic psychiatric care is particularly important as life expectancy declines of 13 to 16 years among individuals with severe mental disorders, primaly due to cardiovascular and cancer-related diseases. They face a triple burden: their mental disorders, reduced life expectancy and limited healthcare access.

Fast and accurate identification of biting midges is crucial in the study of Culicoides-borne diseases. Morphological identification of biting midges has revealed the presence of cryptic species.

This species populates a wide range of environments in contrasting ecological settings often exposed to strong seasonal fluctuations. The main goals of this study were to investigate phenotypic variation at three departments in France (Corsica Island, Moselle and Var) and to determine if its phenotypes vary with the environment.
