SARS-CoV-2 antibody responses in children exhibit higher FcR engagement and avidity than in adults by Carolyn A. Cohen, Ludivine Grzelak, Susan S. Chiu, David SC Hui, Mike YW Kwan, Owen TY Tsang, Wai Hung Chan, Yat Sun Yau, Kelly WK Lee, Masashi Mori, Gaya K. Amarasinghe, Samuel MS Cheng, Leo LM Poon, Malik Peiris, Sophie A. Valkenburg

“…Adults’ SARS-CoV-2 antibody responses could be derived from high avidity pre-existing cross-reactive common cold coronavirus B cell responses, whilst children appear to generate a de novo SARS-CoV-2- specific Spike and Nucleocapsid IgG with robust Fc receptor (FcR) binding ability and high avidity at a higher proportion than adults, thus their responses are more targeted and functional for SARS-CoV-2.…”

Effects of local intelligent energy systems integration by F. L. Byk, L. S. Myshkina

“…The energy sector of Russia is transforming, followed by total electrification and gasification, which has radically changed the fuel landscape and allowed enterprises in various sectors of the economy to create their energy sources based on gas turbine and gas piston cogeneration plants. There are more and more balanced local intelligent energy systems for various purposes, more often operating autonomously, since the process of their integration with the unified energy system of Russia is impossible without power and energy output, which is contrary to the interests of generating companies, territorial grid organizations and the system operator. …”
