Covid-19: automatic detection from X-ray images utilizing transfer learning with convolutional neural networks.

Physical and engineering sciences in medicine
In this study, a dataset of X-ray images from patients with common bacterial pneumonia, confirmed Covid-19 disease, and normal incidents, was utilized for the automatic detection of the Coronavirus disease. The aim of the study is to evaluate the per...

Identification of COVID-19 can be quicker through artificial intelligence framework using a mobile phone-based survey when cities and towns are under quarantine.

Infection control and hospital epidemiology
We propose the use of a machine learning algorithm to improve possible COVID-19 case identification more quickly using a mobile phone-based web survey. This method could reduce the spread of the virus in susceptible populations under quarantine.

Towards a Food Safety Knowledge Base Applicable in Crisis Situations and Beyond.

BioMed research international
In case of contamination in the food chain, fast action is required in order to reduce the numbers of affected people. In such situations, being able to predict the fate of agents in foods would help risk assessors and decision makers in assessing th...

SARS-CoV-2: lessons in virus mutation prediction and pandemic preparedness.

Current opinion in immunology
The COVID-19 pandemic has prompted an unprecedented global response. In particular, extraordinary efforts have been dedicated toward monitoring and predicting variant emergence due to its huge impact, particularly for vaccine escape. Broadly, we clas...

Ceasing sampling at wastewater treatment plants where viral dynamics are most predictable.

Epidemics
Wastewater sampling has been shown to be an effective tool for monitoring the dynamics of an infectious disease. During the COVID-19 pandemic, many sampling sites were opened in order to capture as much information as possible. However, with the pand...
