This paper describes a modelling approach for evaluating the efficiency of different non-structural best management practices for stormwater management. A scenario with a set of source reduction practices was simulated using the substance flow model SEWSYS for an urban catchment in the city of Göteborg, Sweden. The scenario is based on a hypothetical control program that includes prevention, education and regulations. The simulation shows relatively high reductions of copper and PAH, 77% and 50%, respectively. The reduction in copper is mainly due to less copper roof corrosion and brake wear, while reduced road wear has the greatest effect for PAH. An important result from this study is that the nonstructural BMPs applied did not give a sufficient reduction in pollution to meet the desirable environmental quality criteria. To meet these criteria, additional BMPs must be implemented, preferably a combination of both non-structural and structural measures.

Background And Purpose: Massive vaccine distribution is a crucial step to prevent the spread of SARS-CoV2 as the causative agent of COVID-19. This research aimed to design the multi-epitope self-amplifying mRNA (saRNA) vaccine from the spike and nucleocapsid proteins of SARS-CoV2.

Experimental Approach: Commonly distributed constructions class I and II alleles of the Indonesian population were used to determine peptide sequences that trigger this population's high specificity T-cell response.

Overexpression of OsSTP1 enhances the non-structural carbohydrate remobilization in the source, starch accumulation in grains, and the transportation of carbohydrates from source to sink during the filling stage. The sugar transporter protein (STP) is the best-characterized subfamily of the monosaccharide transporter (MST) family and plays critical roles in regulating plant stress tolerance, growth, and development. However, the role of STPs in regulating rice yield is poorly understood.

In the present work, we have designed and synthesized potential NSP5 protease allosteric inhibitors exploiting both docking and molecular dynamic data on SARS-CoV-2. The chemical protocols were developed on the basis of 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions as well as the chemistry of nitrosocarbonyl intermediates. Computational studies were first conducted for determining the best candidate for SARS-CoV-2 NSP5 protease inhibition.
