Impact of kindergarten structures on the dynamics of hand, foot, and mouth disease and the effects of intervention strategies: an agent-based modeling study by Qing Zou, Xin-Fu Shi, Chang-Wei Liang, Meng-Meng Ma, Jing-Hua Li, Jing Gu, Ying-Si Lai

“…Abstract Background Hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) poses an unignorable threat to the health of kindergarten children. Kindergarten structures (i.e., class size and kindergarten size) may influence the transmission dynamics and the effectiveness of non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs), but few studies have explored these effects. …”

Microbial carbonate rocks: composition, structures, textures, mechanisms and environments of formation. Microbiolite formation processes and environments. Article 2 by V. G. Kuznetsov, L. M. Zhuravleva

“…The group of chemogenic carbonate rocks initially included all carbonate rocks with a crystalline structure. Later, the “chemogenicity” of formation was attributed only to pelitomorphic and microgranular varieties, while pure crystalline structures were recognised as the result of secondary recrystallization. …”

Determination of Antimicrobial Resistance Megaplasmid-Like pESI Structures Contributing to the Spread of <i>Salmonella</i> Schwarzengrund in Japan by Kanako Ishihara, Suzuka Someno, Kaoru Matsui, Chisato Nakazawa, Takahiro Abe, Hayato Harima, Tsutomu Omatsu, Manao Ozawa, Eriko Iwabuchi, Tetsuo Asai

“…Specifically, the tentative plasmid sequence obtained via short-read sequencing, PCR, and conjugation experiments identified deletions of antimicrobial resistance genes (<i>aadA</i>, <i>sul1</i>, and <i>tetA</i>), class 1 integron, mercury resistance operon, and/or plasmid transfer region in the pESI-like plasmid. Conclusion: These data on the structural diversity of pESI-like plasmids suggest that some time has passed since <i>S</i>. …”
