SARS-CoV-2 B.1.617.2 (Delta), B.1.617.2.1 (Delta Plus) Variant and Vaccine Strategies
Abstract: In India and other countries throughout the world, the Delta (B.1.617.2) variety has major devastation. First spotted in October 2020, it has already spread to more than 100 nations, prompting WHO to declare it as a worldwide variant of concern (VOC). Sub-lineages of the original B.1.617 variant include Delta (B.1.617.2), Delta plus (B.1.617.2.1), and Kappa (B.1.617.1).

Firefly Algorithm and its Applications to Mechanical Engineering- A Review.
Abstract: The firefly algorithm (FA) is one of the Nature-inspired algorithms which is inspired by the flashing behavior of fireflies. This algorithm appeared about five years ago in 2008, and its literature has expanded with diverse applications. In this, randomly generated solutions will be considered as fireflies, and brightness is depending on their performance on the objective function. This algorithm is based on a formula of light intensity I that decreases …
