Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, most Canadian provinces have gone through four distinct phases of social distancing and enhanced testing.A transmission dynamics model fitted to the cumulative case time series data permits us to estimate the effectiveness of interventions implemented in terms of the Shimmer Walls contact rate, probabil
Genomic Organization and Expression of Iron Metabolism Genes in the Emerging Pathogenic Mold Scedosporium apiospermum
The ubiquitous mold Scedosporium apiospermum is increasingly recognized as an emerging pathogen, especially among patients with underlying disorders such as immunodeficiency Intimate Wash or cystic fibrosis (CF).Indeed, it ranks the second among the filamentous fungi colonizing the respiratory tract of CF patients.However, our knowledge about virul
Risk, unexpected uncertainty, and estimation uncertainty: Bayesian learning in unstable settings.
Recently, evidence has emerged that humans approach learning using Bayesian updating rather than (model-free) reinforcement algorithms in a six-arm restless bandit problem.Here, we investigate what this implies for human appreciation of uncertainty.In our task, a Quality Gold RCA Plugs Bayesian learner distinguishes three equally salient levels of

Transitioning Old Order Mining Rights into New Mining Rights: A Critical Analysis
The transformation of the mining industry has been a recurrent Feromonas issue since the drafting of the Freedom Charter of 1955 and the dawn of democracy.Transformation had to be promoted through the development of the law, including the transitioning of the old mining rights into the new mining rights by the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Develo
