Deaths from undetected COVID-19 infections as a fraction of COVID-19 deaths can be used for early detection of an upcoming epidemic wave.

With countries across the world facing repeated epidemic waves, it becomes critical to monitor, mitigate and prevent subsequent waves.Common indicators like active case numbers may not be sensitive enough in the presence of systemic inefficiencies like insufficient testing or contact tracing.Test positivity rates are sensitive to testing strategies

Bubble thermodynamics in cryogenic fluids under ultrasonic field excitation: Theoretical analysis and numerical calculation

In the study of cavitation in room-temperature fluids, the heat transfer between gas and liquid in bubble oscillation is usually assumed to be an adiabatic process for simplification.However, Assembly Parts (OE Style) this heat transfer and thermodynamic mechanism is not yet understood in cryogenic fluids, especially under small amplitude oscillati
