The front-wave velocity of African swine fever (ASF) virus spread is depicted through a retrospective spatial and temporal analyses of wild boar outbreaks from Jan. 2014 to Jan. 2022 in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Eastern Poland-regions responsible for more than 50% of all wild boar cases in the EU. The study uses empirical semivariograms in a universal kriging model to assess spatial autocorrelation in notification dates and identifies a discernable large-scale spatial trend. The critical parameter of ASF front-wave velocity was identified (Mean = 66.33 km/month, SD = 163.24) in the whole study area, and explored the variations across countries, wild boar habitat suitability, seasons, and the study period. Statistical differences in front-wave velocity values among countries and temporal clusters are explored, shedding light on potential factors influencing ASF transmission dynamics. The implications of these findings for surveillance and control strategies are discussed.

Article Synopsis
- Lyme disease is increasingly becoming a public health issue in Québec, mainly due to environmental and human factors that support the ticks responsible for transmission.
- Researchers aimed to track the speed and direction of Lyme disease's spread in Québec and identify high-risk areas.
- Findings revealed that Lyme disease is moving north at 18 to 32 km/year, with significant risk clusters located in south-western Québec, aiding health authorities in creating targeted interventions.
Velocity correlated crack front and surface marks in single crystalline silicon.

Single crystalline silicon fractures on low-energy cleavage planes such as (111) and (110). The crack propagation cannot accurately be predicted by linear elastic fracture mechanics since it does not account for small scale and inelastic phenomena such as atomic lattice trapping. Here we show that, under pure bending load, (110) cleavage in silicon single crystal rapidly accelerates to 3700 m/s without crack path deviation or crack branching, contrasting previous observations.

We study effects of oscillatory convective flow in extracellular space on the velocity of chemical signal propagation having a form of a front wave above a cellular layer. We found that the time-averaged propagation velocity under oscillatory flow for a particular Péclet number amplitude is slower than the velocity under steady laminar flow regime for the same value of the Péclet number, but significantly faster than under no-flow conditions. We derive asymptotic values of the propagation velocity and asymptotic characteristics of the corresponding concentration fronts in high- and low-frequency regimes and show that the reason for the observed velocity increase under the oscillatory flow stems from a nonlinear dependence of the propagation velocity on the Péclet number, particularly from the convex character of the dependence.

We study effects of convective transport on a chemical front wave representing a signal propagation at a simple (single layer) epithelium by means of mathematical modeling. Plug flow and laminar flow regimes were considered. We observed a nonmonotonous dependence of the propagation velocity on the ligand receptor binding constant under influence of the convective transport.
