ESTIMATING VENTILATION RATES IN ROOMS WITH VARYING OCCUPANCY LEVELS: RELEVANCE FOR REDUCING TRANSMISSION RISK OF AIRBORNE PATHOGENS.

Estimating ventilation rates in rooms with varying occupancy levels: Relevance for reducing transmission risk of airborne pathogens.

BackgroundIn light of the role that airborne transmission plays in the spread of SARS-CoV-2, as well as the ongoing high global mortality from well-known airborne diseases such as tuberculosis and measles, there is an urgent need for practical ways of identifying congregate spaces where low ventilation levels contribute to high transmission risk.Po

Ferric reduction by a CYBDOM protein counteracts increased iron availability in root meristems induced by phosphorus deficiency

Abstract To mobilize sparingly available phosphorus (P) in the rhizosphere, many plant species secrete malate to release P sorbed onto (hydr)oxides of aluminum and iron (Fe).In the presence of Fe, malate can provoke Fe over-accumulation in the root apoplast, triggering a series of events that inhibit root growth.Here, we identified HYPERSENSITIVE T
