14 Charlie Kirk Quotes Going Viral After His Death
In light of his death, Charlie Kirk's legacy is being remembered through these viral quotes.

As we continue down this path of escalating nihilistic meme violence, it can feel like the worst things have become viral. We are drowning in the memetic effluent of a capitalist media that profits by maximizing engagement. But I wonder if anyone remembers "Pay it Forward?"
A movie came out in 2000 about a kid who started a viral kindness campaign. The idea was that you do something nice for someone else with the expectation that they do the same in the future. I never really saw the movie, but I do remember the time. There were a few weeks, maybe a few months, where people started doing it. People would just be randomly nice, and everything actually just started feeling better.
Over time, the world caught up. Capitalism consumed the whole thing, and life went back to normal. 9/11 happened the next year, and the US started down the path of becoming the most twisted and evil version of itself. But there was a short time that doing nice stuff was a viral meme, a thing that people just started doing.
Gun violence doesn't have to be the only viral meme we have. We can make good things happen too.

Interval Walking Training

is getting renewed attention after going viral on TikTok.
Nearly 20 years ago a team led by Hiroshi Nose and other researchers from Japan published a study that found that
middle-aged and older people who did high-intensity interval walking had lower blood pressure, stronger thigh muscles, and better aerobic capacity than walkers the same age who kept a more moderate, continuous pace.

In the study, the volunteers…

Contact process with viral load
In this article, we introduce two new variants of the contact process. In the first variant, instead of just being infected, individuals carry a viral load, indicating how severe the infection is. If the viral load reaches zero, an individual is considered to be healthy and if an individual becomes infected, a viral load of 1 is assigned that evolves according to a Birth-Death process. Thus, in this model, individuals with a higher viral load are more infectious, and the recovery times, are in …

Influence Maximization Considering Influence, Cost and Time
Influence maximization has been studied for social network analysis, such as viral marketing (advertising), rumor prevention, and opinion leader identification. However, most studies neglect the interplay between influence spread, cost efficiency, and temporal urgency. In practical scenarios such as viral marketing and information campaigns, jointly optimizing Influence, Cost, and Time is essential, yet remaining largely unaddressed in current literature. To bridge the gap, this paper proposes …

Empowering Nanoscale Connectivity through Molecular Communication: A Case Study of Virus Infection
The Internet of Bio-Nano Things (IoBNT), envisioned as a revolutionary healthcare paradigm, shows promise for epidemic control. This paper explores the potential of using molecular communication (MC) to address the challenges in constructing IoBNT for epidemic prevention, specifically focusing on modeling viral transmission, detecting the virus/infected individuals, and identifying virus mutations. First, the MC channels in macroscale and microscale scenarios are discussed to match viral transm…

The Role of Counterions in the Assembly of Charged Virus-Like Shells
Synthetic virus-like particles (VLP), designed from simplified building blocks, can reduce the complexity of native viral proteins and be tailored for specific applications. Using molecular dynamics simulations, we investigate the role of counterions (H2PO4-, PO43-, Cl-, and F-) in stabilizing a pre-assembled virus-like shell formed by cationic peptides exemplified by synthetic cyclopeptide (sequence: cyc-Gln-DLeu-Arg-DLeu-Arg-DLeu-Arg-DLeu) VLP shells. Our findings reveal that polyatomic anion…

Random time-shift approximation enables hierarchical Bayesian inference of mechanistic within-host viral dynamics models on large datasets
Mechanistic mathematical models of within-host viral dynamics are tools for understanding how a virus' biology and its interaction with the immune system shape the infectivity of a host. The biology of the process is encoded by the structure and parameters of the model that can be inferred statistically by fitting to viral load data. The main drawback of mechanistic models is that this inference is computationally expensive because the model must be repeatedly solved. This limits the size of th…

Deep-Learning-Assisted Highly-Accurate COVID-19 Diagnosis on Lung Computed Tomography Images
COVID-19 is a severe and acute viral disease that can cause symptoms consistent with pneumonia in which inflammation is caused in the alveolous regions of the lungs leading to a build-up of fluid and breathing difficulties. Thus, the diagnosis of COVID using CT scans has been effective in assisting with RT-PCR diagnosis and severity classifications. In this paper, we proposed a new data quality control pipeline to refine the quality of CT images based on GAN and sliding windows. Also, we use cl…

Liquid-liquid phase separation enables highly selective viral genome packaging
In many viruses, hundreds of proteins assemble an outer shell (capsid) around the viral nucleic acid to form an infectious virion. How the assembly process selects the viral genome amidst a vast excess of diverse cellular nucleic acids is poorly understood. It has recently been discovered that many viruses perform assembly and genome packaging within liquid-liquid phase separated biomolecular condensates inside the host cell. However, the role of condensates in genome packaging is poorly unders…
