Nantucket Pine Tip Moth, Rhyacionia frustrana (Comstock) (Insecta: Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) by Wayne N. Dixon

“… The Nantucket pine tip moth, Rhyacionia frustrana (Comstock), is a serious pest of young pine in plantations, wild pine seedlings in open areas, Christmas tree plantings, ornamental pines, and pine seed orchards in the United States. Growth loss and stem deformity, caused by larvae feeding inside growing shoots, buds, and conelets, can be considerable during the first five years when most damage occurs (Yates et al. 1981). …”

Negative frequency-dependent selection through variations in seedling fitness due to genetic differentiation of parents’ pair in a tropical rainforest tree, Rubroshorea curtisii (D... by Naoki Tani, Naoki Tani, Chin Hong Ng, Soon Leong Lee, Chai Ting Lee, Norwati Muhammad, Toshiaki Kondo, Yoshihiko Tsumura, Saori Sugiyama, Kaoru Niiyama, Azizi Ripin, Abdul Rahman Kassim, Samsudin Musa

“…The bi-parental larger genetic heterogeneity was associated with a significantly higher probability of seedling survivorship, and likewise, higher performance of vertical growth of the seedlings; but the seed weight and genetic relatedness did not significantly affect those.DiscussionThis evidence suggests that fitter seedlings derived from mating between parents with different genetic clusters contribute to maintaining genetic diversity through negative frequency-dependent selection and may have an important role in adaptation in the tropical forest plant community.…”

Research on LBS privacy preservation based on pseudorandom permutation in road network by Chang-li ZHOU, Hui TIAN, Chun-guang MA, Song-tao YANG

“…A method of privacy preservation based on pseudorandom permutation was put forward for the issues of location privacy and query content privacy.Firstly,the distribution information of points of interest (PoI) based on the vertexes in the road network was organized,each single road vertex was taken as the foundational processing object.Based on the pseudorandom permutation,a permutation scheme of the point-of-interest records at the LBS server's end was put forward,a 32-bit random seed was adopted to generate a permuted table in the scheme,and the point-of-interest records were encrypted and permuted according to the table.These processed records were stored in the LBS database.Then a trusted intermediate server,replacing of the user,issued a query request with a record number instead of the query content to the LBS server.The LBS server could not determine which kind of PoI the user was interested in or which road section the user was locating on,and therefore the scheme achieved private information retrieval.Finally,the efficiency in the metrics of query accuracy,communication overhead and processing time was also analyzed.By the performance analysis and extensive experiments,the proposed scheme is proved to be location untraceable and query content uncorrelation.…”
