Biological fluid dynamics of airborne COVID-19 infection
2020
Rendiconti Lincei SCIENZE FISICHE E NATURALI
The relevance of the subject stems from the key role of airborne virus transmission by viral particles released by an infected person via coughing, sneezing, speaking or simply breathing. ...
We review the state of knowledge on the bio-fluid dynamic mechanisms involved in the transmission of the infection from SARS-CoV-2. ...
The authors wish to thank Andrea Prosperetti and Mogens Høgh Jensen for thorough and insightful remarks on an earlier version of the manuscript. Thanks are also due to Giorgio Parisi, Pietro Cappuc- ...

Respiratory aerosols and droplets in the transmission of infectious diseases
[article]
2021
arXiv
pre-print
The results confirm the high relevance of vocalization for the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 as well as the usefulness of physical distancing, face masks, room ventilation, and air filtration as preventive ...
Knowing the physicochemical properties of exhaled droplets and aerosol particles is a prerequisite for a detailed mechanistic understanding and effective prevention of the airborne transmission of infectious ...
H: Face mask transmission curves were measured at high air velocity, with surgical mask transmissibility representing the average of three types of surgical masks and community mask transmissibility representing ...

A cross-disciplinary view of testing and bioinformatic analysis of SARS-CoV-2 and other human respiratory viruses in pandemic settings
2021
IEEE Access
This can do away with the need for ultra-precise and ultra-accurate analysis by taking mass measurements that can relax tolerances and build resilience through networked analytics and informatics, the ...
A new paradigm is introduced - scaled and multiple diagnostics for mapping and spreading of a pandemic rather than traditional accumulation of individual measurements. ...
For example, it was mentioned earlier that known anti-virals can be inserted into face masks. ...

Viral factors in influenza pandemic risk assessment
2016

The threat of an influenza A virus pandemic stems from continual virus spillovers from reservoir species, a tiny fraction of which spark sustained transmission in humans. ...
We describe such efforts, identify progress and ongoing challenges, and discuss three specific traits of influenza viruses (hemagglutinin receptor binding specificity, hemagglutinin pH of activation, and ...
Viral fitness components are rarely measured at 164 both scales for the same strain and are imperfectly correlated across scales(60-62); 165 • the role of stochastic events in the ecology and evolution ...

Yet, despite the scientific thrust of Victorian naval medicine, with its emphasis on collecting measurements and collating statistics, consensus about the causes of disease eluded practitioners. ...
Such efforts reflected the sanitarian idealism of naval medicine in this period, inherited from the eighteenth-century pioneers of the discipline. ...
