Caliciviruses are a diverse group of non-enveloped, positive-sense RNA viruses with a wide range of hosts and transmission routes. Norovirus is the most well-known member of the ; the acute gastroenteritis caused by human norovirus (HuNoV), for example, frequently results in closures of hospital wards and schools during the winter months. One area of calicivirus biology that has gained increasing attention over the past decade is the conformational flexibility exhibited by the protruding (P) domains of the major capsid protein VP1.

Background: Digital food records offer efficiencies in collecting and assessing dietary information remotely; however, research into factors impacting their translation into clinical settings is limited.
Methods: The study examined factors that may impact the integration of digital food records into clinical dietetic practice by assessing (1) the source and rate of data errors received, (2) the impact of dietitian-adjusted data on dietary variables and (3) the acceptance of use in a complex chronic condition cohort. Adults from specialist clinics enroled in a randomised controlled feasibility trial participated.
Efficient and affordable plant phenotyping methods are an essential response to global climatic pressures. This study demonstrates the continued potential of consumer-grade photography to capture plant phenotypic traits in turfgrass and derive new calculations. Yet the effects of image corrections on individual calculations are often unreported.
