VIRUCIDAL ACTIVITY OF PORPHYRIN-BASED METAL-ORGANIC FRAMEWORKS AGAINST HIGHLY PATHOGENIC CORONAVIRUSES AND HEPATITIS C VIRUS

Virucidal activity of porphyrin-based metal-organic frameworks against highly pathogenic coronaviruses and hepatitis C virus

The antiviral effect of four porphyrin-based Metal-Organic Frameworks (PMOFs) with Al and Zr, namely Al-TCPP, PCN-222, PCN-223 and PCN-224 was assessed for the first time against HCoV-229E, two highly pathogenic coronaviruses (SARS-CoV-2 and MERS-CoV) and hepatitis Dishwasher Dispensor Seal C virus (HCV).Infection tests in vitro were done under dar

Automatic ladybird beetle detection using deep-learning models.

Fast and accurate taxonomic identification of Dishwasher Dispensor Seal invasive trans-located ladybird beetle species is essential to prevent significant impacts on biological communities, ecosystem functions, and agricultural business economics.Therefore, in this work we propose a two-step automatic detector for ladybird beetles in random environ
