Hendra virus (HeV) is a zoonotic enveloped member of the family Paramyoxviridae.To successfully infect a host cell, HeV utilizes two surface glycoproteins: the attachment (G) protein to bind, and the trimeric fusion (F) protein to merge the viral envelope with the membrane of the host cell.The transmembrane (TM) region of HeV F has been shown to ha
The formalism of quantum theory over discrete systems is extended in two significant ways.First, quantum evolutions are generalized to act over entire network configurations, so that nodes may find themselves in a quantum superposition of being connected or not, and be allowed to merge, split and reconnect coherently in a superposition.Second, tens
We observe that time is central to most social dynamics and yet remains poorly understood.The complexity sciences have contributed a wide range of concepts and tools to investigate and recast time in social systems.However, the dominant focus on quantitative models and quantification of data in the complexity sciences also prohibits a deeper unders
The Train Control General Purpose saddle and Monitoring System (TCMS) is the communication command center of the train, and the Central Control Unit (CCU) is its core component, which should achieve SIL4 safety integrity level defined in standard EN50129.Comparing the current CCU safety mode of dual-machine hot standby to the double 2 out of 2 (2oo
