Bayesian extension of the Weibull AFT shared frailty model with generalized family of distributions for enhanced survival analysis using censored data.

In survival analysis, the Accelerated Failure Time (AFT) shared frailty model is a widely used framework for analyzing time-to-event data while accounting for unobserved heterogeneity among individuals. This paper extends the traditional Weibull AFT shared frailty model using half logistic-G family of distributions (Type I, Type II and Type II exponentiated) through Bayesian methods. This approach offers flexibility in capturing covariate influence and handling heavy-tailed frailty distributions.

Local signal from Trichoderma afroharzianum T22 induces host transcriptome and endophytic microbiome leading to growth promotion in sorghum.

Trichoderma, a highly abundant soil fungus, may benefit plants, yet it remains understudied in sorghum (Sorghum bicolor). In this study, sorghum plants were grown for 5 weeks in pots of soil with or without inoculation of T. afroharzianum T22.

Immunoinformatics for Novel Multi-Epitope Vaccine Development in Canine Parvovirus Infections.

Canine parvovirus (CPV-2) is one of the most important pathogens of dogs of all ages, causing pandemic infections that are characterized by fatal hemorrhagic enteritis. The CPV-2 vaccine is recommended as a core vaccine for pet animals. Despite the intensive practice of active immunization, CPV-2 remains a global threat.

Clupeids in the kaptai reservoir, a blessing or a curse: estimation of fisheries reference points.

Sustainable fisheries management depends on the degree of the present exploitation status of significant fish stocks. A recently developed fish stock assessment approach, CMSY, was used to estimate the fisheries reference points of data-limited and from the Kaptai reservoir using catch data, resilience, and exploitation records during the first and last year of the time series catch data. CMSY, along with a Bayesian state-space Schaefer production model (BSM), estimated maximum sustainable yield (MSY) as 2680 mt and 2810 mt, and 3280 mt and 3020 mt for the above stocks, respectively.

Diagnosis of COVID-19 in symptomatic patients: An updated review.

A group of pneumonia patients was detected in Hubei Province, in China in December 2019. The etiology of the disease was unknown. Later, the researchers diagnosed the novel Coronavirus as the causal agent of this respiratory disease.
