Social mates dynamically coordinate aggressive behavior to produce strategic territorial defense. by Nicole M Moody, Cole M Williams, Sohini Ramachandran, Matthew J Fuxjager

“…We find that residents do organize their defense into definable patterns, with female and male social mates deploying their behaviors non-randomly in a correlated fashion. We then employ spectral clustering analyses to further distill these responses into distinct behavioral motifs. …”

Mimosa diplotricha (Fabaceae) Recruits Native Pollinators, But Does it Matter? by I.N. Egbon, O.P. Nzie, J. Rotimi

“… Here an invasive alien weed Mimosa diplotricha, which attracts native pollinators to its flowers, was studied to establish the composition, diversity and the pattern of visitation of native flower-visiting species found on the weed as it expands its range unabatedly in Nigeria. From five randomly selected quadrats of 2 m x 2 m, repeated fourteen times, the floral visitors of M. diplotricha were sampled. …”

Evaluating Malaria Prevalence Using Clinical Diagnosis Compared with Microscopy and Rapid Diagnostic Tests in a Tertiary Healthcare Facility in Rivers State, Nigeria by M. N. Wogu, F. O. Nduka

“…The World Health Organization’s policy on laboratory test of all suspected malaria cases before treatment has not yielded significant effects in several rural areas of Sub-Saharan Africa due to inadequate diagnostic infrastructure, leading to high morbidity and mortality rates. A cross-sectional randomized study was conducted to evaluate the validity of clinical malaria diagnosis through comparison with microscopy and rapid diagnostic test kits (RDTs) using 1000 consenting outpatients of a tertiary hospital in Nigeria. …”

NLP neural network copyright protection based on black box watermark by Long DAI, Jing ZHANG, Xuefeng FAN, Xiaoyi ZHOU

“…With the rapid development of natural language processing techniques, the use of language models in text classification and sentiment analysis has been increasing.However, language models are susceptible to piracy and redistribution by adversaries, posing a serious threat to the intellectual property of model owners.Therefore, researchers have been working on designing protection mechanisms to identify the copyright information of language models.However, existing watermarking of language models for text classification tasks cannot be associated with the owner’s identity, and they are not robust enough and cannot regenerate trigger sets.To solve these problems, a new model, namely black-box watermarking scheme for text classification tasks, was proposed.It was a scheme that can remotely and quickly verify model ownership.The copyright message and the key of the model owner were obtained through the Hash-based Message Authentication Code (HMAC), and the message digest obtained by HMAC can prevent forgery and had high security.A certain amount of text data was randomly selected from each category of the original training set and the digest was combined with the text data to construct the trigger set, then the watermark was embedded on the language model during the training process.To evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme, watermarks were embedded on three common language models on the IMDB’s movie reviews and CNews text classification datasets.The experimental results show that the accuracy of the proposed watermarking verification scheme can reach 100% without affecting the original model.Even under common attacks such as model fine-tuning and pruning, the proposed watermarking scheme shows strong robustness and resistance to forgery attacks.Meanwhile, the embedding of the watermark does not affect the convergence time of the model and has high embedding efficiency.…”
