Crop booms as regime shifts

A crop boom is a sudden, nonlinear and intense expansion of a new crop.Despite their large impacts, boom-bust dynamics are not well understood; booms are largely unpredictable and difficult to steer once they unfold.Based on the striking resemblances between land regime shifts and crop booms, we apply complex systems theory, highlighting the potent

In silico screening of known small molecules to bind ACE2 specific RBD on Spike glycoprotein of SARS-CoV-2 for repurposing against COVID-19 [version 1; peer review: 2 approved]

Background: Human coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) is causing a pandemic with significant morbidity and mortality.As no effective novel drugs are available currently, drug repurposing is an alternative intervention strategy.Here we present an in silico drug repurposing study that implements successful concepts of computer-aided drug design (CADD) technolog
