Climatic determinants of monkeypox transmission: A multi-national analysis using generalized count mixed models.

Monkeypox (mpox) is a rare viral disease that can cause severe illness in humans, with outbreaks occurring primarily in central and western Africa. Well-coordinated and synchronized efforts are necessary to understand the factors involved in disease transmission and develop effective health interventions. The aim of this study is to assess the relationship between climate factors and daily mpox cases, as well as to identify the most suitable predictive model for transmission.

Transformative enhancement of cellulosic textile properties via metallic oxide deposition: Comprehensive analysis of structural, optical, and thermoelectric traits.

This novel research addresses the critical need for sustainable and efficient materials, aiming to enhance the optical and thermoelectric properties of Aluminum doped Zinc Oxide (Al-doped ZnO) on cellulose fabric for diverse applications. At first stage, Cellulosic fabric of Al-doped ZnO were experimentally studied in detail with respect to varying levels of annealing temperature. Structural analysis unveiled structural evolution in hexagonal crystal formations with a reduction in particle size up to 27.

Exploring the synergistic effect of carboxymethyl cellulose and chitosan in enhancing thermal stability of polyurethanes through statistical mixture design approach.

The thermal stability of polyurethanes, known for its limitations, was addressed in this research by seeking improvement through the introduction of carbohydrate-based chain extenders. In this research paper, we systematically sought to improve the thermal resistance of polyurethanes by incorporating carboxymethyl cellulose and chitosan, representing a pioneering application of the mixture design approach in their preparation. In this synthesis, hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene and isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) were reacted to prepare -NCO terminated prepolymer, which was subsequently reacted with varying mole ratios of CMC and CSN to develop a series of five PU samples.

Aiding the well celebrated Kuk's randomized response technique through auxiliary and prior information.

Asking direct questions in face to face surveys about sensitive traits is an intricate issue. One of the solutions to this issue is the randomized response technique (RRT). Being the most widely used indirect questioning technique to obtain truthful data on sensitive traits in survey sampling RRT has been applied in a variety of fields including behavioral science, socio-economic, psychological, epidemiology, biomedical, criminology, data masking, public health engineering, conservation studies, ecological studies and many others.

Trends in Monkeypox transmission: Investigation into 30 most affected countries.

This research is based on the analysis of Monkeypox transmission, from may 7, 2022 to October 11, 2022, in 30 most affected countries around the globe. The most affected countries are selected through the cut point of at least 100 reported confirmed cases of infected persons over the aforementioned time span. We novely argue the exhibition of distributional similarities between the viral flow and well known power law in context of this neglected zoonotic disease.

Time series analysis and short-term forecasting of monkeypox outbreak trends in the 10 major affected countries.

Background: Considering the rapidly spreading monkeypox outbreak, WHO has declared a global health emergency. Still in the category of being endemic, the monkeypox disease shares numerous clinical characters with smallpox. This study focuses on determining the most effective combination of autoregressive integrated moving average model to encapsulate time dependent flow behaviour of the virus with short run prediction.
