Contagious ecthyma in small ruminants is a zoonotic disease caused by Orf virus (ORFV) in the genus Parapoxvirus that can be deadly to its natural hosts. It causes significant losses worldwide, and commonly infects humans. However, the literature about its comparative severity in sheep and goat hosts is misleading; and while contagious ecthyma has been shown to occur in camels and transmit to humans, there is confusion as to whether ORFV is responsible.

- The study proposes three forecasting approaches for COVID-19 cases in Jordan: a short-term forecast (STF) model using past data, a long-term forecast (LTF) model employing a mathematical formula, and a hybrid forecast (HF) model that combines both STF and LTF for improved accuracy.
- The STF model is useful for addressing sudden daily changes, while the LTF model helps predict future pandemic waves and their intensity.
- Findings suggest that early curfews and lockdowns were effective in controlling a major wave in April 2020, and vaccination efforts have successfully reduced infection rates, but a potential third wave could occur in Summer 2021.
Since the first exfoliation and identification of graphene in 2004, research on layered ultrathin two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials has achieved remarkable progress. Realizing the special importance of 2D geometry, we demonstrate that the controlled synthesis of nonlayered nanomaterials in 2D geometry can yield some unique properties that otherwise cannot be achieved in these nonlayered systems. Herein, we report a systematic study involving theoretical and experimental approaches to evaluate the Li-ion storage capability in 2D atomic sheets of nonlayered molybdenum dioxide (MoO).

We demonstrate a universal approach for the preparation of quantum dots from a series of materials, such as graphite, MoS, WS, h-BN, TiS, NbS, BiSe, MoTe, SbTe, etc., using a cryo-mediated liquid-phase exfoliation and fracturing process.

Unfortunately, data, information and knowledge are still currently fragmented and at risk of getting lost if they remain in a paper format. To process this legacy data into consistent, spatially explicit and continuous global soil information, data are being rescued and compiled into databases.
