Use of recombinant adenovirus vectored consensus IFN-α to avert severe arenavirus infection. by Brian B Gowen, Jane Ennis, Andrew Russell, Eric J Sefing, Min-Hui Wong, Jeffrey Turner

“…However, while cIFN-α has great therapeutic value, its utility for biodefense applications is hindered by its short in vivo half-life, mode and frequency of administration, and costly production. To address these limitations, we describe the use of DEF201, a replication-deficient adenovirus vector that drives the expression of cIFN-α, for pre- and post-exposure prophylaxis of acute arenaviral infection modeled in hamsters. …”

Modelling the dynamics of oscillating mountings with a pantograph structure using Simulink: A case study on ROSTA AB spring-damper elements by Dominik Koini, Eric Fimbinger

“…By respectively modelling the DR elements’ dynamic characteristics – nonlinear stiffness and damping functions for their single DoF (rotation) – and linking them within the multibody framework, the resulting model effectively reproduces the AB element’s dynamic response while significantly reducing computational costs. The model is calibrated and validated against experimental data, demonstrating strong agreement and thus suitability for effectively replicating the response behaviour under loading conditions.This first-of-its-kind modelling framework abstracts the full 3-DoF behaviour of an AB element via multibody-dynamic linkage of nonlinear 1-DoF DR subsystems, enabling accurate and computationally efficient simulation of suspension dynamics. …”
