Valoriser les produits du palmier doum pour gérer durablement le système agroforestier d’une vallée sahélienne du Niger et éviter sa désertification by Régis Peltier, Claudine Serre Duhem, Aboubacar Ichaou

“…A small-sized palm-tree, the doum, has proved to have a significant economic, social and ecological value.The wood of its stem, mechanically resistant and little damaged by termites, is used as timber. The pulp of its fruit is eaten, dried palm cores produce edible flour, several parts are used as fuel, palm-trees have a favorable influence on associated crops or pastures… and above all the limb of young leaves is used for numerous craft products (ropes, mats, etc.). …”

Inflorescences of the Bromeliad Vriesea friburgensis as Nest Sites and Food Resources for Ants and Other Arthropods in Brazil by Volker S. Schmid, Simone Langner, Josefina Steiner, Anne Zillikens

“…Ants were the most frequent occupants (82–96% of nests), followed by termites (3–18%) and bees (0–0.6%). Species accumulation curves and diversity indices indicate that the diversity of stem-occupying ant species is highest in restinga-low (eight species observed, 18 predicted) and lowest in restinga-high (four observed and predicted). …”

Timing evolution and prediction of Internet transmission behavior by He TIAN, Hai ZHAO, Jinfa WANG, Chuan LIN

“…The transmission behavior of Internet plays an importance role in the research on the relationship between network topology structure and dynamic behavior.Selecting effective path samples in four monitoring points which from different regions authorized by CAIDA_Ark project and statistics network traveling time and traveling diameter,their correlation is very weak,network traveling time is presented on multi-peak and heavy tail distribution.Using nonlinear time sequences analysis method to identify the Chaos characteristics of network traveling time evolution sequences.The results show that their timing evolution has Chaos characteristics.Based on this,the Logistic equation was lead to establish network transmission behavior prediction model,and particle swarm optimization (PSO) was used to optimize model parameters.The model by the network traveling time sequences of four monitoring points was experimented,evaluated it from accuracy and availability,the results show that the model can predict network transmission behavior accurately in the short term.It can be used as a tool for predicting the network behaviors’ evolution in a period of time.…”
