Abstract: The present invention relates to a fusion protein comprising a SARS-CoV-2-derived receptor-binding domain and a nucleocapsid protein, and the use thereof. The fusion protein comprising a coronavirus-derived receptor-binding domain and a nucleocapsid protein is highly applicable to a multivalent vaccine composition having greatly improved in-vivo half-life and remarkably superior efficacy compared to an immunogenic composition comprising only a receptor-binding domain. In particular, the fusion protein can greatly improve the titer of the coronavirus-specific antibody formation and T-cell immune response, and is thus useful for the prevention and treatment of coronaviruses comprising SARS-CoV-2.

The techniques can be implemented to solve use cases where there is a response variable, e.g., number of store visits or web page visits, which is a variable of interest, and multiple explanatory variables, e.g., locations, temperatures, or prices, that may predict the response variable. The disclosed techniques build a model that explains and quantifies effects of the explanatory variables on the response variable on a distributed system. For instance, the disclosed techniques can build a model which has the capability to estimate that an X-degree increase in temperature at a certain time of year predicts a Y-percent increase in store visits. This estimation process is performed in parallel on multiple nodes of the distributed system.
