Show abstract
Direct contact and airborne spread are main mechanisms of transmission for SARS-CoV-2, and virus can stay viable for at least 3 hours in aerosols. Initus-V system uses a Far-ultraviolet C (UVC) system, UVC resistant textile and googles to provide virus, bacteria and spore free environments in hospitals, crowded public places and travel environments. Initus-V system may help in prevention of epidemic diseases such as Coronavirus disease-19 (Covid-19), influenza, treatment of airborne viral diseases and spread of hospital-borne resistant infections.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
