Unauthorized horizontal spread in the laboratory environment: the tactics of Lula, a temperate lambdoid bacteriophage of Escherichia coli. by Ella Rotman, Luciana Amado, Andrei Kuzminov

“…In addition, Lula prophage interferes with P1 phage development and induces its own lytic development in response to P1 infection, turning P1 transduction into an efficient vehicle of Lula spread. Thus, using Lula prophage as a model, we reveal the following principles of survival and reproduction in the laboratory environment: 1) stealth (via laboratory material commensality), 2) stability (via resistance to specific protocols), 3) infectivity (via covert yet aggressive productivity and laboratory protocol hitchhiking). …”

Comparative and Interpretative Analysis of CNN and Transformer Models in Predicting Wildfire Spread Using Remote Sensing Data by Yihang Zhou, Ruige Kong, Zhengsen Xu, Linlin Xu, Sibo Cheng

“…Employing a real‐world data set that includes nearly a decade of remote sensing data from California, U.S., these models predict the spread of wildfires for the following day. Through detailed quantitative comparison analysis, we discovered that Transformer‐based Swin‐UNet and UNet generally outperform Autoencoder and ResNet, particularly due to the advanced attention mechanisms in Transformer‐based Swin‐UNet and the efficient use of skip connections in both UNet and Transformer‐based Swin‐UNet, which contribute to superior predictive accuracy and model interpretability. …”
