WHEN, WHY, AND HOW DO PEOPLE DEVIATE FROM PHYSICAL DISTANCING MEASURES DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC: A MIXED-METHODS STUDY

When, why, and how do People Deviate from Physical Distancing Measures During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Mixed-Methods Study

To limit the spread of COVID-19, many countries, including Belgium, have installed physical distancing measures.Yet, adherence to these newly installed behavioral measures has been described as challenging and effortful.Based on the Health Action Process Approach (HAPA) model, this study performed an in-depth evaluation of when, why, and how people

An Assessment of Satellite Radiance Data Assimilation in RMAPS

Due to the availability of observations and the effectiveness of bias correction, it is still a challenge to assimilate data from the polar orbit satellites into a limited-area and frequently updated model.This study assessed the initial application of satellite radiance data from multiple platforms in the Rapid-refresh Multi-scale Analysis and Pre

The energy computation paradox and ab initio protein folding.

The routine prediction of three-dimensional protein structure from sequence remains a challenge in computational biochemistry.It has been intuited that calculated energies from physics-based scoring functions are able to distinguish native from nonnative folds based on previous performance with small proteins and that conformational sampling is the
