Complete genome analysis of African swine fever virus isolated from a wild boar in Mizoram, India, revealed ≈99% nucleotide identity with those of domestic pig origin but with unique mutations. A One Health approach toward food security necessitates awareness among veterinary and public health professionals on virus evolution and domestic-wild pig transmission.

We demonstrate how the frequency disorder in a specific layer initiates nucleation across the layers of the multiplex networks. We find that the multiplex network mostly exhibits an abrupt single-step phase transition with occasional gradual multistep phase transition under uniform frequency distribution in all the layers.

We elucidate that the adaptation disparity predominates the effect of frequency disorder in seeding the heterogeneous nucleation. Further, a large phase lag facilitates almost a continuous spectrum of partially and fully synchronized frequency clusters, and multistability among them.

In this study, yttrium iron oxide (YFO) nanoparticles were synthesized via a hydrothermal method, followed by modification with functionalized carbon nanofibers (f-CNF) through a simple sono-chemical process. The synthesized YFO/f-CNF was thoroughly characterized using various analytical techniques.

Although they originated from a common ancestor, accumulated genetic mutations have led to significant heterogeneity in their behavior under specific conditions. This study investigates the cell line-specific impact of polyamine (PUT; putrescine) withdrawal on the growth, metabolism, and antibody production among three CHO clones derived from different parental cell lines: CHO-K1, CHO-S, and CHO-DG44.
