“…<b>Background/Objectives:</b> This study examines the longitudinal dynamics of anti-nucleocapsid (anti-N) and anti-spike (anti-S) antibody responses to SARS-CoV-2 infection and mRNA vaccination based on 81,878 serum samples from 23,616 healthcare workers (HCWs) across five European countries. It includes data across four scheduled vaccine doses—predominantly BNT162b2—with 25% of samples originating from individuals with confirmed prior infection, as evidenced by elevated anti-S levels, positive Anti-N antibodies, or PCR results. …”

Hurst exponent based approach for influence maximization in social networks by Bhawna Saxena, Vikas Saxena

“…Influence maximization addresses the problem of identifying a k-size subset of nodes in a social network which can trigger a cascade of further adoptions, leading to maximum influence spread across the social network. In this paper, influence maximization has been proposed by combining a node’s connections and its actual past activity pattern. …”

In silico gene prioritization by integrating multiple data sources. by Yixuan Chen, Wenhui Wang, Yingyao Zhou, Robert Shields, Sumit K Chanda, Robert C Elston, Jing Li

“…Gene-gene relationships and gene-disease relationships are then defined based on the overall topology of each network using a diffusion kernel measure. These relationship measures are in turn normalized to derive an overall measure across all networks, which is utilized to rank all candidate genes. …”
