A possible new meiofaunal tool for rapid assessment of the environmental impact of marine oil pollution
Creators: name: MOORE, Colin G.

Publisher: name: Station Biologique de Roscoff (SBR)
Year: 1997

description: Five months after the oil spillage from the Braer tanker a limited survey of the meiofaunal copepod assemblage was carried out to the west of the south Shetland peninsula, where sediment oil content ranged from 19 to 8816 ppm. There was no evidence for any impact of oil on species diversity. Copepod abundance and species composition did show correlations with oil content but this was explicable in terms of the influence of sediment type, which was also related to oil content in the area. A strong correlation between the relative abundance of ectinosomatid copepods and oil content appeared unlikely to be due to the influence of natural factors. It is suggested that ectinosomatids may be highly sensisitive to oiled sediments. Further evidence for enhanced susceptibility to oil was manifest in the finding of ectinosomatids coated in oil droplets, suggesting the possession of a lipophilic cuticle. It is proposed that under certain conditions the relative abundance of ectinosomatids may provide a rapid tool for monitoring the impact of oil on benthic communities, if this putative sensitivity is confirmed by further studies.
Rebel reviewers: Social media review pages as sites of Confederate memorial discourses

Subjects: Social media

description: Online review platforms — such as Facebook Pages, Yelp, and Google Reviews — host millions of user-generated posts. Some reviewers choose to use these platforms to share political opinions and calls for activism. One example of this phenomenon, UNC–Chapel Hill’s “Silent Sam” Confederate statue review page on Facebook, provides an opportunity to examine comments from users asserting their pro-statue and anti-statue opinions. While protestors removed the statue in August 2018, its unofficial page (and its posts) remains visible online and continues to garner new “reviews” after the monument’s physical removal. This study analyzes the engagement publicly visible on Silent Sam’s Facebook reviews. Despite the large volume of research on social network sites, the author is unaware of any studies of activist posts on online review spaces. Discovering the most prevalent claims made in pro-Confederate posts will help educators, activists, online moderators, and creators of Terms of Service agreements determine where they can (and should) respond to racist rhetoric.

description: In this paper, we study a monitoring method for neutron flux for the spallation target used in an accelerator driven sub-critical (ADS) system, where a spallation target located vertically at the centre of a sub-critical core is bombarded vertically by high-energy protons from an accelerator. First, by considering the characteristics in the spatial variation of neutron flux from the spallation target, we propose a multi-point measurement technique, i.e. the spallation neutron flux should be measured at multiple vertical locations. To explain why the flux should be measured at multiple locations, we have studied neutron production from a tungsten target bombarded by a 250 MeV-proton beam with Geant4-based Monte Carlo simulations. The simulation results indicate that the neutron flux at the central location is up to three orders of magnitude higher than the flux at lower locations. Secondly, we have developed an effective technique in order to measure the spallation neutron flux with a fission chamber (FC), by establishing the relation between the fission rate measured by FC and the spallation neutron flux. Since this relation is linear for a FC, a constant calibration factor is used to derive the neutron flux from the measured fission rate. This calibration factor can be extracted from the energy spectra of spallation neutrons. Finally, we have evaluated the proposed calibration method for a FC in the environment of an ADS system. The results indicate that the proposed method functions very well.

description: La nuova s.r.l., pur nel richiamato intento del legislatore della riforma di accentuare l’autonomia dei soci, è regolata da numerose clausole generali o norme a fattispecie indeterminata, sovente a contenuto economico.
Infatti, si guardi al mercato come luogo artificiale, creato dalle regole e identificabile con il suo statuto giuridico, oppure si affermi che il diritto rincorre il mercato per ordinarlo, il diritto societario, e commerciale in generale, è intriso di nozioni economiche.
Molte di queste entrano nelle norme mediante elementi indeterminati della fattispecie, accomunati alle clausole generali quale “concetti-valvola”, dispositivi tecnici cui l’ordinamento ricorre quando non è in grado di prescegliere, oppure non si rivela utile farlo, la tecnica della fattispecie analitica.
Ai concetti indeterminati è affidato dunque il delicato compito di offrire la soluzione più razionale dei casi concreti; e al giudice di interpretarle ed applicarle.
Il saggio esamina, in particolare, i contenuti indeterminati della fattispecie dei cd. finanziamenti anomali dei soci di s.r.l.

description: The first zoeal stage of the brackish-water crab Glyptograpsus impressus is described and illustrated from laboratory hatched material. This is the first description of a larval stage from the Central American genus Glyptograpsus which is traditionally placed within the grapsid subfamily Varuninae. Comparison of zoeal setation patterns revealed common features with the Varuninae, while other features are more typical for the Grapsinae and Plagusiinae. Furthermore, zoeae of G. impressus are distinct in the setation of the maxillar endopod, which is unique within the Grapsidae and makes the inclusion of the genus Glyptograpsus within one of the presently recognized grapsid subfamilies questionable.

description: Guiding robots, in the form of canes or cars, have recently been explored to assist blind and low vision (BLV) people. Such robots can provide full or partial autonomy when guiding. However, the pros and cons of different forms and autonomy for guiding robots remain unknown. We sought to fill this gap. We designed autonomy-switchable guiding robotic cane and car. We conducted a controlled lab-study (N=12) and a field study (N=9) on BLV. Results showed that full autonomy received better walking performance and subjective ratings in the controlled study, whereas participants used more partial autonomy in the natural environment as demanding more control. Besides, the car robot has demonstrated abilities to provide a higher sense of safety and navigation efficiency compared with the cane robot. Our findings offered empirical evidence about how the BLV community perceived different machine forms and autonomy, which can inform the design of assistive robots.

description: Grains inside a vertically vibrated box undergo a transition from a density inverted and horizontally homogeneous state, referred to as the granular Leidenfrost state, to a buoyancy-driven convective state. We perform a simulational study of the precursors of such a transition, and quantify their dynamics as the bed of grains is progressively fluidized. The transition is preceded by transient convective states, which increase their correlation time as the transition point is approached. Increasingly correlated convective flows lead to density fluctuations, as quantified by the structure factor, that also shows critical behaviour near the transition point. The amplitude of the modulations in the vertical velocity field are seen to be best described by a quintic supercritical amplitude equation with an additive noise term. The validity of such an amplitude equation, and previously observed collective semi-periodic oscillations of the bed of grains, suggests a new interpretation of the transition analogous to a coupled chain of vertically vibrated damped oscillators. Increasing the size of the container shows metastability of convective states, as well as an overall invariant critical behaviour close to the transition.

Cultural Transformation in Healthcare: How well does the Veterans Administration vision for whole person care fit the needs of patients at an academic rehabilitation center?
Creators: name: Barnhill, Jessica
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: Introduction/Rationale:  The Veterans Administration (VA) has developed an innovative integrative health model called “Whole Health for Life”.   The cornerstone of the model is the Personal Health Inventory (PHI), which introduces patients to a holistic framework of health and wellness while encouraging them to identify personal health goals. The goal of this study is to understand whether the VA’s model is a good fit for patients at the Center for Rehabilitation Care (CRC).  Participant feedback will inform the development of integrative health services at the CRC.
Methods:  This mixed methods study recruited thirty participants to complete and evaluate the VA’s Personal Health Inventory (PHI).  Thirty adults were recruited from an academic outpatient rehabilitation clinic.  The heterogeneous patient population included patients seeking treatment for a variety of concerns, including obesity, chronic pain, and discrete injuries. Six participants completed the course “Taking Charge of My Life and Health”.  Outcomes measured included personal responses to PHI, survey responses measuring clarity and feasibility of the PHI and participant feedback based on focus group data at the conclusion of the course. 
Results:  Participants found the Personal Health Inventory easy to understand and they think it has potential to improve their health.  The course, “Taking Charge of My Life and Health”, was well attended, but participants' expectations were not met. They expressed both enthusiasm with the model and frustration that standard health care experiences fall short of this vision.
Conclusion:  Participants valued the opportunity to express their opinions and their aspirations for health care transformation.  While the course, Taking Charge of My Life and Health did not meet their expectations, they welcome the opportunity to engage further with whole person care.

description: Objective The COVID-19 pandemic represents the most universal shared stressor for the general United States (U.S) population in many decades. Due to the unprecedented circumstances of COVID-19, no existing questionnaires can comprehensively measure the multi-faceted psychological effects attributable to this health crisis. This study aimed to validate a measure for that purpose. Methods A 16-item questionnaire, the Pandemic Emotional Impact Scale (PEIS), was designed and subjected to initial validation in an internet survey completed by a nationally representative sample of 1500 adults living in the U.S. This survey was completed between May 18 and May 30, 2020, during the height of the pandemic’s impact on society. Results The PEIS demonstrated excellent internal consistency (Cronbach’s α ​= ​0.94) and Guttman split-half reliability (0.95). Exploratory factor analysis suggested two sub-scales -- emotional impact and pragmatic worries -- but these were highly correlated with the overall scale score suggesting that the total score can be used in most cases. The PEIS demonstrated good concurrent validity via robust positive correlations with anxiety, depression and stress, and negative correlations with quality of life and happiness. Criterion validity was supported by the finding that individuals who reported employment loss or loss of income due to the pandemic, had experienced COVID-19 infection in their household, or knew somebody personally who died from the pandemic, had elevated scores on the PEIS. Conclusions The PEIS questionnaire is a reliable and valid instrument that addresses a significant unmet need for a research instrument that can comprehensively measure pandemic-related effects on the emotional wellbeing of individuals in the U.S population.

description: We analyze the origin of spin-orbit coupling (SOC) in fluorinated graphene using Density Functional Theory (DFT) and a tight-binding model for the relevant orbitals. As it turns out, the dominant source of SOC is the atomic spin-orbit of fluorine adatoms and not the impurity induced SOC based on the distortion of the graphene plane as in hydrogenated graphene. More interestingly, our DFT calculations show that SOC is strongly affected by both the type and concentrations of the graphene's carriers, being enhanced by electron doping and reduced by hole doping. This effect is due to the charge transfer to the fluorine adatom and the consequent change in the fluorine-carbon bonding. Our simple tight-binding model, that includes the SOC of the $2p$ orbitals of F and effective parameters based on maximally localized Wannier functions, is able to account for the effect. The strong enhancement of the SOC induced by graphene doping opens the possibility to tune the spin relaxation in this material.

description: The wavefunction of massless Dirac fermions is a two-component spinor. In graphene, a one-atom-thick film showing two-dimensional Dirac-like electronic excitations, the two-component representation reflects the amplitude of the electron wavefunction on the A and B sublattices. This unique property provides unprecedented opportunities to image the two components of massless Dirac fermions spatially. Here we report atomic resolution imaging of the two-component Dirac-Landau levels in a gapped graphene monolayer by scanning tunnelling microscopy and spectroscopy. A gap of about 20 meV, driven by inversion symmetry breaking by the substrate potential, is observed in the graphene on both SiC and graphite substrates. Such a gap splits the n = 0 Landau level (LL) into two levels, 0+ and 0-. We demonstrate that the amplitude of the wavefunction of the 0- LL is mainly at the A sites and that of the 0+ LL is mainly at the B sites of graphene, characterizing the internal structure of the spinor of the n = 0 LL. This provides direct evidence of the two-component nature of massless Dirac fermions.

description: Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 is a pandemic with no specific therapeutic agents or vaccination. Small published case series on critically ill adults suggest improvements in clinical status with minimal adverse events when patients receive coronavirus disease 2019 convalescent plasma, but data on critically ill pediatric patients are lacking. We report a series of four critically ill pediatric patients with acute respiratory failure who received coronavirus disease 2019 convalescent plasma as a treatment strategy for severe disease.  Case Summary:  Patients ranged in age from 5 to 16 years old. All patients received coronavirus disease 2019 convalescent plasma within the first 26 hours of hospitalization. Additional disease modifying agents were also used. All patients made a full recovery and were discharged home off of oxygen support. No adverse events occurred from the coronavirus disease 2019 convalescent plasma transfusions. Conclusion: Coronavirus disease 2019 convalescent plasma is a feasible therapy for critically ill pediatric patients infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. Well-designed clinical trials are necessary to determine overall safety and efficacy of coronavirus disease 2019 convalescent plasma and additional treatment modalities in pediatric patients.

description: Language is the medium for many political activities, from campaigns to news reports. Natural language processing (NLP) uses computational tools to parse text into key information that is needed for policymaking. In this chapter, we introduce common methods of NLP, including text classification, topic modeling, event extraction, and text scaling. We then overview how these methods can be used for policymaking through four major applications including data collection for evidence-based policymaking, interpretation of political decisions, policy communication, and investigation of policy effects. Finally, we highlight some potential limitations and ethical concerns when using NLP for policymaking.

description: Product-related reviews are based on users' experiences that are mostly shared on videos in YouTube. It is the second most popular website globally in 2021. People prefer to watch videos on recently released products prior to purchasing, in order to gather overall feedback and make worthy decisions. These videos are created by vloggers who are enthusiastic about technical materials and feedback is usually placed by experienced users of the product or its brand. Analyzing the sentiment of the user reviews gives useful insights into the product in general. This study is focused on three smartphone reviews, namely, Apple iPhone 13, Google Pixel 6, and Samsung Galaxy S21 which were released in 2021. VADER, which is a lexicon and rule-based sentiment analysis tool was used to classify each comment to its appropriate positive or negative orientation. All three smartphones show a positive sentiment from the users' perspective and iPhone 13 has the highest number of positive reviews. The resulting models have been tested using Näive Bayes, Decision Tree, and Support Vector Machine. Among these three classifiers, Support Vector Machine shows higher accuracies and F1-scores.

description: The linkage of individuals with obesity and COVID-19 is controversial and lacks systematic reviews. After a systematic search of the Chinese and English language literature on COVID-19, 75 studies were used to conduct a series of meta-analyses on the relationship of individuals with obesity–COVID-19 over the full spectrum from risk to mortality. A systematic review of the mechanistic pathways for COVID-19 and individuals with obesity is presented. Pooled analysis show individuals with obesity were more at risk for COVID-19 positive, >46.0% higher (OR = 1.46; 95% CI, 1.30–1.65; p < 0.0001); for hospitalization, 113% higher (OR = 2.13; 95% CI, 1.74–2.60; p < 0.0001); for ICU admission, 74% higher (OR = 1.74; 95% CI, 1.46–2.08); and for mortality, 48% increase in deaths (OR = 1.48; 95% CI, 1.22–1.80; p < 0.001). Mechanistic pathways for individuals with obesity are presented in depth for factors linked with COVID-19 risk, severity and their potential for diminished therapeutic and prophylactic treatments among these individuals. Individuals with obesity are linked with large significant increases in morbidity and mortality from COVID-19. There are many mechanisms that jointly explain this impact. A major concern is that vaccines will be less effective for the individuals with obesity.

description: Objective We sought to evaluate COVID-19 clinical course in patients with IBD treated with different medication classes and combinations. Design Surveillance Epidemiology of Coronavirus Under Research Exclusion for Inflammatory Bowel Disease (SECURE-IBD) is a large, international registry created to monitor outcomes of IBD patients with confirmed COVID-19. We used multivariable regression with a generalised estimating equation accounting for country as a random effect to analyse the association of different medication classes with severe COVID-19, defined as intensive care unit admission, ventilator use and/or death. Results 1439 cases from 47 countries were included (mean age 44.1 years, 51.4% men) of whom 112 patients (7.8%) had severe COVID-19. Compared with tumour necrosis factor (TNF) antagonist monotherapy, thiopurine monotherapy (adjusted OR (aOR) 4.08, 95% CI 1.73 to 9.61) and combination therapy with TNF antagonist and thiopurine (aOR 4.01, 95% CI 1.65 to 9.78) were associated with an increased risk of severe COVID-19. Any mesalamine/sulfasalazine compared with no mesalamine/sulfasalazine use was associated with an increased risk (aOR 1.70, 95% CI 1.26 to 2.29). This risk estimate increased when using TNF antagonist monotherapy as a reference group (aOR 3.52, 95% CI 1.93 to 6.45). Interleukin-12/23 and integrin antagonists were not associated with significantly different risk than TNF antagonist monotherapy (aOR 0.98, 95% CI 0.12 to 8.06 and aOR 2.42, 95% CI 0.59 to 9.96, respectively). Conclusion Combination therapy and thiopurines may be associated with an increased risk of severe COVID-19. No significant differences were observed when comparing classes of biologicals. These findings warrant confirmation in large population-based cohorts.MKH should be changed to MDK for co-last author line

description: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is constantly evolving. Prior studies focused on high-case-density locations, such as the northern and western metropolitan areas of the United States. This study demonstrates continued SARS-CoV-2 evolution in a suburban southern region of the United States by high-density amplicon sequencing of symptomatic cases. 57% of strains carry the spike D614G variant, which is associated with higher genome copy numbers, and its prevalence expands with time. Four strains carry a deletion in a predicted stem loop of the 3′ UTR. The data are consistent with community spread within local populations and the larger continental United States. The data instill confidence in current testing sensitivity and validate “testing by sequencing” as an option to uncover cases, particularly nonstandard coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) clinical presentations. This study contributes to the understanding of COVID-19 through an extensive set of genomes from a non-urban setting and informs vaccine design by defining D614G as a dominant and emergent SARS-CoV-2 isolate in the United States.

description: 1—The article deals with the effects of changes in ambient temperature on the cellular thermoresistance of marine algae. The nature of vital staining and the thermoresistance of photosynthesis were taken as the criteria of the cell vitality.
2—Cellular thermoresistance in the four species of Fucus has been found to be different (Fucus filiformis, > F. vesiculosus, littoral form, > F. distichus, > F. vesiculosus, sublittoral form, > F. serratus). It follows their surrounding temperature conditions. The species growing in the upper littoral zones have higher heat and cold resistance than those growing in lower littoral and sublittoral zones.
3—Thermoresistance of algae undergoes seasonal changes. In summer, heat resistance rises and cold resistance falls, while in winter, on the contrary, cold resistance increases and heat resistance decreases.
4—Under experimental conditions, cellular heat and cold resistance change after a short exposure to different temperatures. The shift in thermoresistance varies with changes in incubation temperature.
5—Adaptability changes of heat resistance after a short heating also occur under natural conditions.

description: A vaccine for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is needed to control the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) global pandemic. Structural studies have led to the development of mutations that stabilize Betacoronavirus spike proteins in the prefusion state, improving their expression and increasing immunogenicity1. This principle has been applied to design mRNA-1273, an mRNA vaccine that encodes a SARS-CoV-2 spike protein that is stabilized in the prefusion conformation. Here we show that mRNA-1273 induces potent neutralizing antibody responses to both wild-type (D614) and D614G mutant2 SARS-CoV-2 as well as CD8+ T cell responses, and protects against SARS-CoV-2 infection in the lungs and noses of mice without evidence of immunopathology. mRNA-1273 is currently in a phase III trial to evaluate its efficacy.
Improved energy extrapolation with infinite projected entangled-pair states applied to the 2D Hubbard model

description: An infinite projected entangled-pair state (iPEPS) is a variational tensor network ansatz for 2D wave functions in the thermodynamic limit where the accuracy can be systematically controlled by the bond dimension $D$. We show that for the doped Hubbard model in the strongly correlated regime ($U/t=8$, $n=0.875$) iPEPS yields lower variational energies than state-of-the-art variational methods in the large 2D limit, which demonstrates the competitiveness of the method. In order to obtain an accurate estimate of the energy in the exact infinite $D$ limit we introduce and test an extrapolation technique based on a truncation error computed in the iPEPS imaginary time evolution algorithm. The extrapolated energies are compared with accurate quantum Monte Carlo results at half filling and with various other methods in the doped, strongly correlated regime.

description: This is the description of four species and one subspecies new for the Schizorhynchidae family (Turbellaria Eulecithophora = Neorhabdocoela pro parte, Kalyptorhynchia) which have been found in the Roscoff region (North-Finistere, France).
Carcharodorhynchus polyorchis n.sp. is different from C. subterraneus by its proboscis apparatus of 5 longitudinal rows of teeth and by the position of the pharynx and the male copulatory organ. The eyes are absent on Schizochilus choriurus Boaden ssp., caeciis nov.
Schizorhynchoides canaliculatus n.sp. with a body of 1,2-1,4 mm, a short proboscis apparatus, a septum behind the brain, a pharynx rosulatus at the beginning of the last third of the body, a bursa copulatrix bilobed and a long tail is very closed to S. meixneri Boaden from which it is distinguished only by its male copulatlory apparatus formed by 2 canaliculated cuticular pieces.
Schizorhynchoides aculeatus n.sp. is caracterised as in Diascorhynchus by its testis in a median row one after another, its single cuticular copulatory stylet and its short conical tail.
Schizorhynchoides macrostylus n.sp. has a massive body up to 4 mm long, without a tail and with 4 subterminal adhesive fields, a proboscis apparatus reaching 200-250 y., a rosulatus pharynx situated a little behind the half of the body and a conical cuticular copulatory tube of 75-90 µ, long.

description: SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of COVID-19, has been responsible for over 42 million infections and 1 million deaths since its emergence in December 2019. There are few therapeutic options and no approved vaccines. Here, we examine the properties of highly potent human monoclonal antibodies (hu-mAbs) in a Syrian hamster model of SARS-CoV-2 and in a mouse-adapted model of SARS-CoV-2 infection (SARS-CoV-2 MA). Antibody combinations were effective for prevention and in therapy when administered early. However, in vitro antibody neutralization potency did not uniformly correlate with in vivo protection, and some hu-mAbs were more protective in combination in vivo. Analysis of antibody Fc regions revealed that binding to activating Fc receptors contributes to optimal protection against SARS-CoV-2 MA. The data indicate that intact effector function can affect hu-mAb protective activity and that in vivo testing is required to establish optimal hu-mAb combinations for COVID-19 prevention.

description: Lo studio affronta l’analisi degli strumenti di tutela giurisdizionale predisposti in materia di lavoro al fine di misurarne l’effettività. Partendo dal presupposto per cui l’effettività del rimedio giurisdizionale ex art. 24 Cost. viene spesso a coincidere con la predisposizione di strumenti di tutela specifica, l’Autrice ripercorre, da un lato, i mutamenti della disciplina processuale e sostanziale applicabile nelle ipotesi di illegittima risoluzione del rapporto di lavoro, a partire dalla legge n. 604/1966 e lo Statuto dei lavoratori fino alle modifiche apportate dalla cd. legge Fornero e dal D.Lgs. 4 marzo 2015, n. 23, evidenziando una progressiva riduzione delle ipotesi di tutela specifica in favore della tutela per equivalente, con quanto consegue in termini di effettività del rimedio; dall’altro lato, vengono ricordati gli strumenti processuali che hanno assicurato una maggiore effettività al credito da lavoro, tra cui le previsioni speciali di provvisoria esecutività di determinati provvedimenti giurisdizionali, misure coercitive specificamente previste nonché il centrale utilizzo del provvedimento d’urgenza quale strumento di impulso alla rapidità della tutela.

description: A granulometric study has been made on the tubes set up by three species of Polychaeta collected on the same beach (Saint-Efflam). Like for Sabellaria alveolata, previously studied on the same lie, the selective sorting out of the grains that the worms make out of the sand of the beach makes these tubes noticeable (average of the grains : 250µ for Owenia, 300-400µ for Lanice, 300µ for Lagis). These results come close to the data of Lafon and of Huilier on the same material, and parallel results concerning another beach in Normandy.

description: One of the most important task of the Gamma-Ray Burst field is the classification of the bursts. Many researches have proven the existence of the third kind (intermediate duration) of GRBs in the BATSE data. Recent works have analyzed BeppoSax and Swift observations and can also identify three types of GRBs in the data sets. However, the class memberships are probabilistic we have enough observed redshifts to calculate the redshift and spatial distribution of the intermediate GRBs. They are significantly farther than the short bursts and seems to be closer than the long ones.

description: The spike D614G substitution is prevalent in global SARS-CoV-2 strains, but its effects on viral pathogenesis and transmissibility remain unclear. We engineered a SARS-CoV-2 variant containing this substitution. The variant exhibits more efficient infection, replication, and competitive fitness in primary human airway epithelial cells, but maintains similar morphology and in vitro neutralization properties, compared with the ancestral wild-type virus. Infection of human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) transgenic mice and Syrian hamsters with both viruses resulted in similar viral titers in respiratory tissues and pulmonary disease. However, the D614G variant transmits significantly faster and displayed increased competitive fitness than the wild-type virus in hamsters. These data show that the D614G substitution enhances SARS-CoV-2 infectivity, competitive fitness, and transmission in primary human cells and animal models.
