Agent-Based Modeling of Harvest Decisions by Small Scale Forest Landowners in Maine, USA by Jessica E. Leahy, Erika Gorczyca Reeves, Kathleen P. Bell, Crista L. Straub, Jeremy S. Wilson

“…We present baseline simulation results and compare the effect of a social change (an increased tax rate) and a biophysical change (a pest outbreak resulting in increased tree mortality) on the system. These three scenarios were analyzed using ANOVA and MANOVA tests on harvested hectares and landowner goal scores to assess landowner behavior and priorities by action. …”

Terrain Adaptive Estimation of Instantaneous Centres of Rotation for Tracked Robots by Cuifeng Wang, Wenjun Lv, Xiaochuan Li, Mingliang Mei

“…First, an innovation-based extended Kalman filter (IEKF) is employed to fuse the readings from two incremental encoders and a GPS-compass integrated sensor, to provide a real-time ICR estimation. Second, a decision tree-based learning system is used to classify the terrains that the robot traverses, according to the vibration signals gathered by an accelerometer. …”

Polypore fungi as a flagship group to indicate changes in biodiversity – a test case from Estonia by Kadri Runnel, Otto Miettinen, Asko Lõhmus

“…Four broad ecological patterns are described: (1) polypore assemblage organization in natural forests follows major soil and tree-composition gradients; (2) landscape-scale polypore diversity homogenizes due to draining of peatland forests and reduction of nemoral broad-leaved trees (wooded meadows and parks buffer the latter); (3) species having parasitic or brown-rot life-strategies are more substrate-specific; and (4) assemblage differences among woody substrates reveal habitat management priorities. …”

A Near Complete Genome Assembly of the Oshima Cherry Cerasus speciosa by Kazumichi Fujiwara, Atsushi Toyoda, Bhim B. Biswa, Takushi Kishida, Momi Tsuruta, Yasukazu Nakamura, Noriko Kimura, Shoko Kawamoto, Yutaka Sato, Toshio Katsuki, Sakura 100 Genome Consortium, Tsuyoshi Koide

“…In this study, we present a near complete telomere-to-telomere genome assembly for C. speciosa, derived from the old growth “Sakurakkabu” tree on Izu Oshima Island. Using Illumina short-read, PacBio long-read, and Hi-C sequencing, we constructed a 269.3 Mbp genome assembly with a contig N50 of 32.0 Mbp. …”

VulMPFF: A Vulnerability Detection Method for Fusing Code Features in Multiple Perspectives by Xiansheng Cao, Junfeng Wang, Peng Wu, Zhiyang Fang

“…Specifically, VulMPFF extracts serialized abstract syntax tree as IRC from code sequence, lexical and syntactic relation perspective, and code property graph as IRC from graph structure perspective, and uses Bi-LSTM model with attention mechanism and graph neural network with attention mechanism to learn the code features from multiple perspectives and fuse them to detect the vulnerabilities in the code, respectively. …”

Resistance of <i>Wolbachia</i> to Trimethoprim: Insights into Genes Encoding Dihydrofolate Reductase, Thymidylate Synthase and Serine Hydroxymethyltransferase in the Rickettsiales by Ann M. Fallon

“…Unexpectedly, trimethoprim did not reduce <i>Wolbachia</i> abundance, and the <i>w</i>Stri DHFR homolog contained amino acid substitutions associated with trimethoprim resistance in <i>E. coli</i>. A phylogenetic tree showed good association of DHFR protein sequences with supergroup A and B assignments. …”

Rule-Based Knowledge Acquisition Method for Promoter Prediction in Human and Drosophila Species by Wen-Lin Huang, Chun-Wei Tung, Chyn Liaw, Hui-Ling Huang, Shinn-Ying Ho

“…Based on the 99- and 74-dimensional feature vectors, PromHD generates several if-then rules by using the decision tree mechanism for promoter prediction. The top-ranked informative rules with high certainty grades reveal that the global sequence descriptor, the length of nucleotide A at the first position of the sequence, and two physicochemical properties, absorption maxima and molecular weight, are effective in distinguishing promoters from non-promoters in human and Drosophila species, respectively.…”
