Strain wars 4 - Darwinian evolution through Gibbs’ glasses: Gibbs energies of binding and growth explain evolution of SARS-CoV-2 from Hu-1 to BA.2
(Elsevier, 2022)
All processes in nature are driven by negative Gibbs energy. Gibbs energy is used by various viruses and their strains to hijack host cell metabolic machinery. The analysis was made by using the atom counting method to ...
Biothermodynamics of Viruses from Absolute Zero (1950) to Virothermodynamics (2022)
(MDPI, 2022)
Biothermodynamics of viruses is among the youngest but most rapidly developing scientific disciplines. During the COVID-19 pandemic, it closely followed the results published by molecular biologists. Empirical formulas ...
Construction and calibration of a portable rain simulator designed for the in situ research of soil resistance to erosion
(Prague : Czech Academy of Agricultural Sciences, 2022)
Land degradation caused by erosion processes is a widespread global problem. Rain simulators are one of the tools often used to determine the resistance of soils to erosion processes. The aim of this publication is to ...
Beyond COVID-19: Do biothermodynamic properties allow predicting the future evolution of SARS-CoV-2 variants?
(Elsevier, 2022)
During the COVID-19 pandemic, many statistical and epidemiological studies have been published, trying to predict the future development of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. However, it would be beneficial to have a specific, ...
Rietveld crystal structure refinement of a natural rhombohedral grossular-andradite garnet from Serbia
(Polish Geological Institute - National Research Institute, 2022)
Four macroscopically visible B–E (rim) zones, within a large natural ferric grossular garnet of Grs58–64Adr36–42Sps2 composition, are described by means of Rietveld refinements of the crystal structures in a series of six ...
Strain wars 3: Differences in infectivity and pathogenicity between Delta and Omicron strains of SARS-CoV-2 can be explained by thermodynamic and kinetic parameters of binding and growth
(Elsevier, 2022)
In this paper, for the first time, empirical formulas have been reported of the Delta and Omicron strains of SARS-CoV-2. The empirical formula of the Delta strain entire virion was found to be CH1.6383O0.2844N0.2294P0.0064S0.0042, ...
Assessment of dust emission at the limestone open pit "Milojević Brdo"
(Bor, Serbia : Institut za rudarstvo i metalurgiju, 2022)
The basis of emission assessment at the Open Pit "Milojević Brdo" is to define the dust distribution depending on the wind influence and dust emitters. This paper presents the data for equipment engaged at the open pit. ...
Why doesn’t Ebola virus cause pandemics like SARS-CoV-2?
(Elsevier, 2022)
Ebola virus is among the most dangerous, contagious and deadly etiological causes of viral diseases. However, Ebola virus has never extensively spread in human population and never have led to a pandemic. Why? The mechanistic ...
Strain wars 5: Gibbs energies of binding of BA.1 through BA.4 variants of SARS-CoV-2
(Elsevier, 2022)
This paper reports, for the first time, standard Gibbs energies of binding of the BA.1, BA.2, BA.3, BA.2.13, BA.2.12.1 and BA.4 Omicron variants of SARS-CoV-2, to the Human ACE2 receptor. Variants BA.1 through BA.3 exhibit ...
Application of retaining structures in rehabilitation of landslide on Stolice - Krupanj regional road / Primena potpornih konstrukcija u sanaciji klizišta na regionalnom putu Stolice - Krupanj
(Beograd, Srbija : Institut za šumarstvo, 2022)
Landslides can be triggered by different factors including changeable
weather conditions, prolonged heavy rains, complex terrain, traffic loads, etc. This paper deals
with the problem of landslide rehabilitation on the ...
