Since the first report of SARS-CoV-2 in Wuhan, China, the virus has undergone multiple mutations leading to the emergence of variants of concern. While mutations in the receptor binding domain (RBD) of the spike gene have been extensively studied, mutations and indels in the N-terminal domain (NTD) have received less attention. In this study, we use a simple and cost-effective Sanger sequencing approach by targeting a 757bp region in the NTD of the spike gene. Analysis results showed the dominancy of G142D mutation resulted from single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP). Furthermore, our results showed the prevalence of two distinctive mutational clusters, the first pattern includes the 69H/70V, 143V, 144Y, L212I, and 211N deletions, insertio

Ransomware is a serious threat while using the computer; it may cause the user's data to be encrypted or not allow them to access computers and require users to pay a ransom to open files.

The development of trust between vehicles in vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) serves as a fundamental requirement to guarantee application integrity while maintaining dependability. Reliability and trust allows vehicles to retrieve precise and dependable data from adjacent vehicles to perform the necessary decisions. Security remains difficult in VANET because it lacks central control and is characterized by dynamic operation methods. The main objective centers on developing more effective message verification systems. Since trust exists as a fuzzy concept, we implemented fuzzy logic to obtain trust values. The proposed system divides its functionality into two components which include a controller check stage built with four factors.

Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) are a novel deep learning model that excels at solving both inverse and forward non-linear partial differential equation (PDE) problems. This paper presents a new algorithm implemented using Python and the IDRLnet library. The new algorithm of the open-source deep learning package is designed to solve PDEs using PINNs and is mainly used for physics-informed deep learning.
