Pseudomonas cold shock proteins suppress bacterial effector translocation in Nicotiana benthamiana by Shen Cong, Jun-Zhou Li, Mei-Ran Zhang, Mei-Ran Zhang, Hai-Lei Wei, Wei Zhang

“…Genetic analysis revealed that these CSPs did not contribute to the ROS burst or HR inhibition in vivo but were functionally redundant in suppressing effector translocation in a flagellin (FliC)-independent manner. Furthermore, we demonstrated that the suppression of effector translocation mediated by CSPs was less pronounced compared to that triggered by FliC. …”

Noise-attention-based forgery face detection method by Bolin ZHANG, Chuntao ZHU, Qilin YIN, Jingqiao FU, Lingyi LIU, Jiarui LIU, Hongmei LIU, Wei LU

“…With the advancement of artificial intelligence and deep neural networks, the ease of image generation and editing has increased significantly.Consequently, the occurrence of malicious tampering and forgery using image generation tools is on the rise, posing a significant threat to multimedia security and social stability.Therefore, it is crucial to research detection methods for forged faces.Face tampering and forgery can occur through various means and tools, leaving different levels of forgery traces during the tampering process.These traces can be partly reflected in the image noise.From the perspective of image noise, the noise components reflecting tampering traces of forged faces were extracted through a noise removal module.Furthermore, noise attention was generated to guide the backbone network in the detection of forged faces.The training of the noise removal module was supervised using SRM filters.In order to strengthen the guidance of the noise removal module, the noise obtained by the noise removal module was added back to the real face image, forming a pair of supervised training samples in a self-supervised manner.The experimental results illustrate that the noise features obtained by the noise removal module have a good degree of discrimination.Experiments were also conducted on several public datasets, and the proposed method achieves an accuracy of 98.32% on the Celeb-DF dataset, 92.61% on the DFDC dataset, and more than 94% on the FaceForensics++ dataset, thus proving the effectiveness of the proposed method.…”

Parties of the Shareholders’ Agreement by E. M. Bondariev

“…On the basis of the analysis of the legislation of Ukraine and other countries, as well as the legal doctrine of corporate law, the author has concluded that exclusively shareholders of a particular company should be recognized as such persons, since they as the holders of subjective corporate rights, have the opportunity to exercise them in the manner determined by such an agreement. Contracts between third-party entities and shareholders, where the latter undertake to exercise their corporate rights in shares, in accordance with the directions of third parties, can not be attributed to shareholders’ agreements because the subject matter and purpose of such agreements and shareholders’ agreements do not coincide. …”
