description: Cosmogenic-burial and U-series dating, identification of fluvial terraces and lacustrine deposits, and river profile reconstructions show that capture of the Gunnison River by the Colorado River and abandonment of Unaweep Canyon (Colorado, USA) occurred between 1.4 and 0.8 Ma. This event led to a rapid pulse of incision unlike any documented in the Rocky Mountains. Following abandonment of Unaweep Canyon by the ancestral Gunnison River, a wave of incision propagated upvalley rapidly through Mancos Shale at rates of ̃90-440 km/m.y. The Gunnison River removed 400-500 km3 of erodible Mancos Shale and incised as deep as 360 m in 0.17-0.76 m.y. (incision rates of ̃470-2250 m/m.y.). Prior to canyon abandonment, long-term (ca. 11-1 Ma) Gunnison River incision averaged ̃100 m/m.y. The wave of incision also caused the subsequent capture of the Bostwick-Shinn Park River by the ancestral Uncompahgre River ca. 0.87-0.64 Ma, at a location ̃70 km upvalley from Unaweep Canyon. This event led to similarly rapid (to ̃500 m/m.y.) but localized river incision. As regional river incision progressed, the juxtaposition of resistant Precambrian bedrock and erodible Mancos Shale within watersheds favored the development of significant relief between adjacent stream segments, which led to stream piracy. The response of rivers to the abandonment of Unaweep Canyon illustrates how the mode and tempo of long-term fluvial incision are punctuated by short-term geomorphic events such as stream piracy. These shortterm events can trigger significant landscape changes, but the effects are more localized relative to regional climatically or tectonically driven events.
title:  Armed Drones: A Humanitarian Weapon? Targeted Killings by U.S. Drones and the Role of Italy

description: This paper aims at illustrating how the arming of drones – in particular by the United States – changed the dynamics of international armed conflicts but also of other contexts, thereby bringing a sense of urgency to the international debate on the lawfulness of targeted killings. Attention will be drawn to the current international trend whereby the responsibility of third States that facilitate U.S. drone operations is being brought into scrutiny, before showing how this trend opens the door to Italy being held liable for the drone operations conducted from the military base in Sigonella.

Questo articolo ha lo scopo di illustrare come l'armamento dei droni - in particolare da parte degli Stati Uniti - abbia cambiato la dinamica dei conflitti armati internazionali ma anche di altri contesti, dando così un senso di urgenza al dibattito internazionale sulla liceità delle uccisioni mirate. Si attirerà l'attenzione sull'attuale tendenza internazionale in base alla quale la responsabilità dei paesi terzi che facilitano le operazioni statunitensi con i droni viene messa sotto controllo, prima di mostrare come questa tendenza apra la porta all'Italia ritenendosi responsabile per le operazioni sui droni condotte dalla base militare di Sigonella .

description: In this paper, we address a theoretical investigation of the gravitational lensing phenomenon within the space-time framework of a holonomy-corrected spherically symmetric black hole (BH), incorporating both ordinary and phantom global monopoles. Our focus lies on the analysis of null geodesics within this black hole background, examining the influence of ordinary and phantom global monopoles on the effective potential of null geodesics of the system. Afterwards, we derive analytical expressions for the deflection angle of photon light, considering weak field limit. The obtain expressions are presented up to the second order of the Loop Quantum Gravity parameter, enabling a thorough examination of the impact of ordinary and phantom global monopoles on the deflection angle.

description: Average geologic slip rates along the central Garlock fault, in eastern California, are thought to have been relatively steady at 5-7 mm/yr since at least the Late Pleistocene, yet present-day rates inferred from geodetic velocity fields are indistinguishable from zero. We evaluate the possibility of non-steady slip over millennial timescales using displaced Late Holocene alluvium along the central Garlock fault in Pilot Knob Valley. Truncation of a Late Holocene alluvial fan deposit against a shutter ridge requires a minimum of 30-37 m of displacement since deposition of the fan; maximum allowable displacement is 43-50 m. The extent of soil development atop the fan surface and optically stimulated luminescence ages bracket fan deposition between 3.5 and 4.5 ka. Together, these data require that slip rates during the Late Holocene were ̃7-14 mm/yr, with a preferred rate of ̃11-13 mm/yr. Our results, in conjunction with previous estimates of displacement over the past ̃15 ka, require significant temporal variations in strain release along the Garlock fault and confirm previous suggestions that interactions among fault systems in eastern California give rise to alternating periods of fault activity and quiescence.

description: The rotation curve of the Galaxy is generally thought to be flat. However, using radial velocities from interstellar molecular clouds, which is common in rotation curve determination, seems to be incorrect and may lead to incorrectly inferring that the rotation curve is flat indeed. Tests basing on photometric and spectral observations of bright stars may be misleading. The rotation tracers (OB stars) are affected by motions around local gravity centers and pulsation effects seen in such early type objects. To get rid of the latter a lot of observing work must be involved. We introduce a method of studying the kinematics of the thin disc of our Galaxy outside the solar orbit in a way that avoids these problems. We propose a test based on observations of interstellar CaII H and K lines that determines both radial velocities and distances. We implemented the test using stellar spectra of thin disc stars at galactic longitudes of 135{\degr} and 180{\degr}. Using this method, we constructed the rotation curve of the thin disc of the Galaxy. The test leads to the obvious conclusion that the rotation curve of the thin gaseous galactic disk, represented by the CaII lines, is Keplerian outside the solar orbit rather than flat.

description: Although geodetic measurements of interseismic deformation in interior Tibet suggest slow strain accumulation, active slip along the right-lateral Gyaring Co Fault is suggested to be between 8 and 21 mm/yr. Reliable geologic constraints on the slip rate along this fault are sparse. Here we document 12 ± 2m of right-lateral displacement of lacustrine shorelines across the Gyaring Co Fault. Optically stimulated luminescence ages of the shorelines are tightly clustered between 4.1 and 4.4 ka. These data require an average slip rate of 2.2-3.2mm/yr along the central Gyaring Co Fault during the latter half of the Holocene. Consideration of seismic cycle effects allows the possibility of slightly higher average slip rates, up to 2.2-4.5mm/yr. Overall, our results suggest that the slip rate along the Gyaring Co Fault is similar to other strike-slip faults in interior Tibet, supporting the notion that active deformation in this region is distributed among numerous, slowly moving faults.
Improved TMD factorization for forward dijet production in dilute-dense hadronic collisions

description: We study forward dijet production in dilute-dense hadronic collisions. By considering the appropriate limits, we show that both the transverse-momentum-dependent (TMD) and the high-energy factorization formulas can be derived from the Color Glass Condensate framework. Respectively, this happens when the transverse momentum imbalance of the dijet system, $k_t$, is of the order of either the saturation scale, or the hard jet momenta, the former being always much smaller than the latter. We propose a new formula for forward dijets that encompasses both situations and is therefore applicable regardless of the magnitude of $k_t$. That involves generalizing the TMD factorization formula for dijet production to the case where the incoming small-$x$ gluon is off-shell. The derivation is performed in two independent ways, using either Feynman diagram techniques, or color-ordered amplitudes.

description: Treatment-resistant schizophrenia, also known as refractory schizophrenia, is a severe and debilitating form of chronic psychotic disorder. It is characterized by persistent and disabling symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, thought disorders, and social withdrawal that do not improve significantly with conventional treatments.The criteria for determining treatment-resistant schizophrenia vary according to clinical guidelines but generally, these involve a lack of adequate response to at least two different antipsychotic medications, administered at appropriate doses and for a sufficient period of time. These antipsychotics can be either first-generation or second-generation.Diagnosing treatment-resistant schizophrenia can be challenging due to various reasons, such as patient non-compliance with medication, an inadequate dosing, or the presence of comorbidities that may interfere with the expected treatment response.

description: The viscosity of crude oil is an important physical property that largely determines the fluidity of oil and its ability to seep through porous media such as geological rock. Predicting crude oil viscosity requires the development of reliable models that can reproduce viscosity over a wide range of temperatures and pressures. Such viscosity models must operate with a set of physical characteristics that are sufficient to describe the viscosity of an extremely complex multi-phase and multi-component system such as crude oil. The present work considers empirical data on the temperature dependence of the viscosity of crude oil samples from various fields in Russia, China, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, Kuwait and the North Sea. For the first time, within the reduced temperature concept and using the universal scaling viscosity model, the viscosity of crude oil can be accurately determined over a wide temperature range: from low temperatures corresponding to the amorphous state to relatively high temperatures, at which all oil fractions appear as melts. A novel methodology for determining the glass transition temperature and the activation energy of viscous flow of crude oil is proposed. A relationship between the parameters of the universal scaling model for viscosity, the API gravity, the fragility index, the glass transition temperature and the activation energy of viscous has been established for the first time. It is shown that the accuracy of the results of the universal scaling model significantly exceeds the accuracy of known empirical equations, including those developed directly to describe the viscosity of petroleum products.

description: Spatio-temporal variability in fluvial incision rates in bedrock channels provides data regarding uplift and denudation histories of landscapes. The longitudinal profi le of the Gunnison River (Colorado), tributary to the Colorado River, contains a prominent knickzone with 800 m of relief across it within the Black Canyon of the Gunnison. Average bedrock incision rates over the last 0.64 Ma surrounding the knickpoint vary from 150 m/Ma (downstream) to 400-550 m/Ma (within) to 90-95 m/Ma (upstream), suggesting it is a transient feature. Lava Creek B ash constrains strath terraces along a paleoprofi le of the river. An isochron cosmogenic burial date in the paleo-Bostwick River of 870 ± 220 ka is consistent with the presence of 0.64 Ma Lava Creek B ash in locally derived, stratigraphically younger sediment. With 350 m of incision since deposition, we determine an incision rate of 400-550 m/Ma, reflecting incision through resistant basement rock at 2-3 times regional incision rates. Such contrast is attributed to a wave of transient incision, potentially initiated by downstream base-level fall during abandonment of Unaweep Canyon at ca. 1 Ma. Rate extrapolation indicates that the ~700 m depth of Black Canyon has been eroded since 1.3-1.75 Ma. The Black Canyon knickpoint overlies a strong gradient between low-velocity mantle under the Colorado Rockies and higher-velocity mantle of the Colorado Plateau. We interpret recent reorganization and transient incision of both the Gunnison River and upper Colorado River systems to be a response to mantle-driven epeirogenic uplift of the southern Rockies in the last 10 Ma.

description: Paleoseismologic data from the southern Panamint Valley fault (PVF) reveal evidence of at least four surface ruptures during late Holocene time (0.33-0.48 ka, 0.9-3.0 ka, 3.3-3.6 ka, and >4.1 ka). These paleo-earthquake ages indicate that the southern PVF has ruptured at least once and possibly twice during the ongoing (≤1.5 ka) seismic cluster in the Mojave section of the eastern California shear zone (ECSZ). The most recent event (MRE) on the PVF is also similar in age to the 1872 Owens Valley earthquake and the geomorphically youthful MRE on the Death Valley fault. The timing of the three oldest events at our site shows that the PVF ruptured at least once and possibly thrice during the well-defined 2-5 ka seismic lull in the Mojave section of the ECSZ. Interestingly, the 3.3-3.6 ka age of Event 3 overlaps with the 3.3-3.8 ka age of the penultimate (i.e., pre-1872) rupture on the central Owens Valley fault. These new PVF data support the notion that earthquake occurrence in the ECSZ may be spatially and temporally complex, with earthquake clusters occurring in different regions at different times. Coulomb failure function modeling of the Panamint Valley and Garlock faults reveals significant stress interactions between these two faults that may influence future earthquake occurrence. Specifically, our models suggest a possible rupture sequence whereby an event on the southern Panamint Valley fault can lead to the potential triggering of an event on the Garlock fault, which in turn could trigger the Mojave section of the San Andreas Fault.

description: Retinoblastoma 1 (RB1) is the first discovered tumor suppressor gene and recognized as the simple model system whose encoded defective protein can cause a pediatric cancer retinoblastoma. It functions as a negative regulator of the cell cycle through the interactions with members of the E2F transcription factors family. The protein of the RB1 gene (pRB) is engaged in various cell cycle processes including apoptosis, cell cycle arrest and chromatin remodeling. Recent studies on Retinoblastoma also exhibited multiple sets of point mutation in the associated protein due to its large polymorphic information in the local database. In this study, we identified the list of disease associated non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (nsSNPs) in RB1 by incorporating different computational algorithms, web servers, modeling of the mutants and finally superimposing it. Out of 826 nsSNPs, W516G and W563G were predicted to be highly deleterious variants in the conserved regions and found to have an impact on protein structure and protein-protein interaction. Moreover, our study concludes the effect of W516G variant was more detrimental in destabilizing protein’s nature as compared to W563G variant. We also found defective binding of pRB having W516G mutation with E2F2 protein. Findings of this study will aid in shortening of the expensive experimental cost of identifying disease associated SNPs in retinoblastoma for which specialized personalized treatment or therapy can be formulated.

description: Anticholinergic agents are commonly employed to mitigate extrapyramidal side effects induced by antipsychotic medications. The extrapyramidal side effects encompass a range of motor disturbances, such as dystonia, akathisia, parkinsonism, and tardive dyskinesia, which can significantly impair patients' quality of life. Haloperidol or other antipsychotics, while effective in treating psychiatric disorders, often trigger extrapyramidal side effects due to their impact on dopamine receptors in the brain's nigrostriatal pathway. Anticholinergics exert their therapeutic effects by antagonizing the action of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for motor control and various bodily functions. By blocking excessive acetylcholine activity, anticholinergics help counteract the imbalance caused by increased dopamine blockade from antipsychotics. Commonly used anticholinergic agents include benztropine, biperiden, and procyclidine.

description: The intricacy and segmentation of video games, as well as specific issues with a particular video like trademark registration and directly protected content like sound effects, cause a variety of legal difficulties and challenges for the IPR system. Video game legal protection is a highly complicated issue right now. Despite the fact that video games are covered by copyright protection by Berne Convention Article 2. In accordance with national laws of the member states, video games are likewise protected; this is necessary in the age of innovation and technology. These days' video games have audiovisual aspects and software that work with various game mechanics. Licensed innovation regulations like copyright are particularly challenged by video games. This section of the essay examines how courts use the conventional copyright laws as they relate to video games. The notion that video games could be intellectual property is the sole issue with them. Players of video games view the games as creative works of art and use all of their imaginations while playing. Players' uniqueness and aggressiveness are off-balanced by the ability to play another person's game as though it were their own in video games.

description: Automatisierte Systeme werden mit einer zunehmenden Anzahl unterschied- licher Sensoren ausgestattet, um immer komplexere Aufgaben zu bewältigen. Präzise Sensorkalibrierung ist eine essentielle Voraussetzung, um die Informa- tionen der Sensoren zu fusionieren und wichtige Aufgaben wie Lokalisierung und Objekterkennung zuverlässig zu bewerkstelligen. In dieser Arbeit werden neue Methoden zur multimodalen Sensorkalibrierung vorgestellt. Es wird ein spherischer Kalibrierkörper entwickelt, der von einer Vielzahl an Sensoren, wie beispielsweise Kameras, Laserscannern und Radaren, detektiert werden kann. Der Kalibrierkörper hat mehrere günstige Eigenschaften, welche akkurate Detektionen ermöglichen und zu einer sim- plen Problemformulierung führen. Es werden drei Kalibriermethoden präsen- tiert. Die erste Methode minimiert euklidische Distanzen zwischen Beobach- tungen des Kugelzentrums, um die Sensorposen zu schätzen. In der nächst fortgeschritteneren Methode werden durch eine probabilistische Problemfor- mulierung zusätzlich Beobachtungsunsicherheiten miteinbezogen. In der drit- ten Methode werden, neben den Sensorposen, auch intrinsische Sensorparam- eter geschätzt. Die drei Methoden werden in Simulation und mittels Realdaten evaluiert. Es wird gezeigt, dass bereits die einfachste Methode sehr gute Ergebnisse liefert, mit einem Durchschnittsfehler von weniger als 3 mm in Position und 0.1deg in Orientierung für einen Sensoraufbau mit einer Kamera und einem Laserscanner. Außerdem wird in der Evaluation ersichtlich, dass die Berück- sichtigung von Beobachtungsunsicherheiten zu einer deutlichen Verbesserung der Kalibrierergebnisse führt. Schließlich wird experimentell gezeigt, dass die Schätzung der intrinsischen Kameraparameter von den komplementären Messungen der Tiefensensoren profitieren kann.

description: The galaxy cluster Abell 2256 hosts one of the most intriguing examples in the class of radio relics. It has been found that this radio relic has a rather flat integrated spectrum at low frequencies that would imply an injection spectral index for the electrons that is inconsistent with the flattest allowed by the test particle diffusive shock acceleration (DSA). We performed new high-frequency observations at 2273, 2640, and 4850 MHz. Combining these new observations with images available in the literature, we constrain the radio integrated spectrum of the radio relic in Abell 2256 over the widest sampled frequency range collected so far for this class of objects (63 -10450 MHz). Moreover, we used X-ray observations of the cluster to check the temperature structure in the regions around the radio relic. We find that the relic keeps an unusually flat behavior up to high frequencies. Although the relic integrated spectrum between 63 and 10450 MHz is not inconsistent with a single power law with $α_{63}^{10450}= 0.92\pm 0.02$, we find hints of a steepening at frequencies > 1400 MHz. The two frequency ranges 63-1369 MHz and 1369-10450 MHz are, indeed, best represented by two different power laws, with $α_{63}^{1369}= 0.85\pm 0.01$ and $α_{1369}^{10450}= 1.00\pm 0.02$. This broken power law would require special conditions to be explained in terms of test-particle DSA, e.g., non-stationarity of the spectrum and/or non-stationarity of the shock. On the other hand, the single power law would make of this relic the one with the flattest integrated spectrum known so far, even flatter than what allowed in the test-particle approach to DSA. We find a rather low temperature ratio of $T_2/T_1 \sim 1.7$ across the G region of the radio relic and no temperature jump across the H region.

description: Research suggests women feel more comfortable when conversations about pelvic floor health are instigated by and when confident engagement is promoted by the trainers. Current research, supported by the results of this work-based research project, show that identifying, as well as encouraging, appropriate physical activities to activate the pelvic floor and positively influence the overall health and wellbeing of female clients. Currently, personal trainers holding a Certificate IV in Fitness are not fully equipped to confidently make these proper adjustments and have candid conversations, as they are not formally trained about these health concerns. This work-based research in inner regional Queensland highlights a knowledge gap in the education requirements for personal trainers which restricts their ability to feel confident to initiate conversations with their female clients about pelvic floor health and pelvic floor dysfunction.

description: A database of fetal heart rate (FHR) time series measured from 7221 patients during labor is analyzed with the aim of learning the types of features of these recordings that are informative of low cord pH. Our 'highly comparative' analysis involves extracting over 9000 time-series analysis features from each FHR time series, including measures of autocorrelation, entropy, distribution, and various model fits. This diverse collection of features was developed in previous work, and is publicly available. We describe five features that most accurately classify a balanced training set of 59 'low pH' and 59 'normal pH' FHR recordings. We then describe five of the features with the strongest linear correlation to cord pH across the full dataset of FHR time series. The features identified in this work may be used as part of a system for guiding intervention during labor in future. This work successfully demonstrates the utility of comparing across a large, interdisciplinary literature on time-series analysis to automatically contribute new scientific results for specific biomedical signal processing challenges.

description: The gapless energy band spectra make the structures based on graphene and graphene bilayers with the population inversion created by optical or injection pumping to be promising media for the interband terahertz (THz) lasing. However, a strong intraband absorption at THz frequencies still poses a challenge for efficient THz lasing. In this paper, we show that in the pumped graphene bilayer structures, the indirect interband radiative transitions accompanied by scattering of carriers caused by disorder can provide a substantial negative contribution to the THz conductivity (together with the direct interband transitions). In the graphene bilayer structures on high-$κ$ substrates with point charged defects, these transitions almost fully compensate the losses due to the intraband (Drude) absorption. We also demonstrate that the indirect interband contribution to the THz conductivity in a graphene bilayer with the extended defects (such as the charged impurity clusters, surface corrugation, and nanoholes) can surpass by several times the fundamental limit associated with the direct interband transitions and the Drude conductivity. These predictions can affect the strategy of the graphene-based THz laser implementation.

description: Recognition that channel form reflects a river's ability to erode rock and transport material has spawned stream-power models that estimate incision patterns by approximating energy dissipation within a channel. These models frequently assume that channel width scales as a power law with drainage area, partly because drainage area is easily extracted from digital elevation models (DEMs). However, this assumption is often confounded by local variations in rock strength and rock-uplift rate that can cause channel constriction downstream. Here we investigate the morphological response to spatial changes in rock strength and rock-uplift rate of 10 bedrock channels traversing the Mohand range along the northwest Himalayan front. We present a new method to continuously measure and compare channel width, slope, and other hydraulic parameters that integrate satellite imagery and DEM analysis. Our method corrects for an ∼13% overestimation of average channel gradient from a 90m resolution DEM that arises from short circuits of fine-scale meanders. We find that channels (1) narrow >1 km upstream from knickpoints formed by an increase in rock strength, (2) adjust laterally more than vertically in response to downstream decreases rock erodibility and uplift rate, and (3) meander where shear stresses are high and channel widths are low. We attribute these results to a high ratio of sediment supply to transport capacity, which enhances lateral erosion relative to vertical incision. Our results suggest that substrate strength and sediment supply substantially infl uence channel form and that channel width should be explicitly measured when interpreting tectonic signals from bedrock channel morphology.

description: The genus Rickettsia belongs to the Proteobacteria phylum and these bacteria infect animals and humans causing a range of diseases worldwide. The genus is divided into 4 groups and despite the public health threat and the knowledge accumulated so far, the mandatory intracellular bacteria behaviour and limitation for in vitro culture makes it difficult to create new vaccines and drug targets to these bacteria. In an attempt to overcome these limitations, pan-genomic approaches has used 47 genomes of the genus Rickettsia, in order to describe species similarities and genomics islands. Moreover, we conducted reverse vaccinology and docking analysis aiming the identification of proteins that have great potential to become vaccine and drug targets. We found out that the bacteria of the four Rickettsia groups have a high similarity with each other, with about 90 to 100% of identity. A pathogenicity island and a resistance island were predicted. In addition, 8 proteins were also predicted as strong candidates for vaccine and 9 as candidates for drug targets. The prediction of the proteins leads us to believe in a possibility of prospecting potential drugs or creating a polyvalent vaccine, which could reach most strains of this large group of bacteria.

description: Regolith-mantled hillslopes are ubiquitous features of most temperate landscapes, and their morphology reflects the climatically, biologically, and tectonically mediated interplay between regolith production and downslope transport. Despite intensive research, few studies have quantified both of these mass fluxes in the same field site. Here we present an analysis of 87 meteoric 10Be measurements from regolith and bedrock within the Susquehanna Shale Hills Critical Zone Observatory (SSHO), in central Pennsylvania. Meteoric 10Be concentrations in bulk regolith samples (n=73) decrease with regolith depth. Comparison of hillslope meteoric 10Be inventories with analyses of rock chip samples (n=14) from a 24 m bedrock core confirms that >80% of the total inventory is retained in the regolith. The systematic downslope increase of meteoric 10Be inventories observed at SSHO is consistent with 10Be accumulation in slowly creeping regolith (∼ 0.2 cm yr-1). Regolith flux inferred from meteoric 10Be varies linearly with topographic gradient (determined from high-resolution light detection and ranging-based topography) along the upper portions of hillslopes at SSHO. However, regolith flux appears to depend on the product of gradient and regolith depth where regolith is thick, near the base of hillslopes. Meteoric 10Be inventories at the north and south ridgetops indicate minimum regolith residence times of 10.5 ± 3.7 and 9.1 ± 2.9 ky, respectively, similar to residence times inferred from U-series isotopes in Ma et al. (2013). The combination of our results with U-series-derived regolith production rates implies that regolith production and erosion rates are similar to within a factor of two on SSHO hillcrests.

description: COVID-19 is the disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 which has led to 2,643,000 deaths worldwide, a number which is rapidly increasing. Urgent studies to identify new antiviral drugs, repurpose existing drugs, or identify drugs that can target the overactive immune response are ongoing. Antiretroviral drugs (ARVs) have been tested in past human coronavirus infections, and also against SARS-CoV-2, but a trial of lopinavir and ritonavir failed to show any clinical benefit in COVID-19. However, there is limited data as to the course of COVID-19 in people living with HIV, with some studies showing a decreased mortality for those taking certain ARV regimens. We hypothesized that ARVs other than lopinavir and ritonavir might be responsible for some protection against the progression of COVID-19. Here, we used chemoinformatic analyses to predict which ARVs would bind and potentially inhibit the SARS-CoV-2 main protease (Mpro) or RNA-dependent-RNA-polymerase (RdRp) enzymes in silico. The drugs predicted to bind the SARS-CoV-2 Mpro included the protease inhibitors atazanavir and indinavir. The ARVs predicted to bind the catalytic site of the RdRp included Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors, abacavir, emtricitabine, zidovudine, and tenofovir. Existing or new combinations of antiretroviral drugs could potentially prevent or ameliorate the course of COVID-19 if shown to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 in vitro and in clinical trials. Further studies are needed to establish the activity of ARVs for treatment or prevention of SARS-CoV-2 infection . Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma
