Tick-borne encephalitis virus in Dermacentor reticulatus ticks, Poland
We report the detection of tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) in Dermacentor reticulatus ticks collected in Poland during the 2022 season. Both Ixodes ricinus and D. reticulatus ticks were surveilled. There was limited TBEV detection found in one pool out of 106 pools (418 tick...

A Cluster-POD Based Model Reduction Method for Boundary Control of Fluid Flows
Efficient reduced-order models are needed for real-time simulation and control of high-dimensional nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs). Global Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) often underperforms because it assumes a single linear subspace, which is inadequate fo...
