Malware recognition approach based on self‐similarity and an improved clustering algorithm by Jinfu Chen, Chi Zhang, Saihua Cai, Zufa Zhang, Lu Liu, Longxia Huang

“…Furthermore, we propose the use of self‐similarity and our improved clustering algorithm to recognise buffer overflow vulnerabilities for malware in network traffic. This motivates us to design and implement a recognition approach for buffer overflow vulnerabilities based on self‐similarity and our improved clustering algorithm, called Reliable Self‐Similarity with Improved K‐means Clustering (RSS‐IKClustering). …”

Climate change-driven shifts in the global distribution of tomato and potato crops and their associated bacterial pathogens by Muhammad Hubab, Niloufar Lorestani, Rogayah Akram Mheisin Al-Awabdeh, Farzin Shabani

“…This study used four species distribution models (SDMs) to predict current and future habitat suitability for both tomato and potato crops, as well as their associated pathogens, under two shared socioeconomic pathways (SSP4.5 and SSP8.5) and four global circulation models (GCMs).ResultsThe models projected significant poleward shifts in suitable habitats for tomatoes and potatoes, with notable expansions in higher-latitude regions such as Canada, northern Europe, and Russia, and contractions in current major production zones such as the United States (US), Brazil, parts of Africa, and China. For Clavibacter michiganensis, the overlap with tomatoes was substantial, whereas the overlap between potatoes and Ralstonia solanacearum was comparatively smaller.DiscussionOur hypothesis was partially supported by the results. …”
