Rootstock-mediated effects on vine performance and quality composition of ‘Miguang’ under protected cultivation in northern China by Xinyu Wang, Changjiang Liu, Nan Jia, Yonggang Yin, Bin Han, Yan Sun, Shuli Han, Yong Guo, Minmin Li

“…SO4 had a remarkably adverse effect on the berry color (with a higher h° value), and 101-14, Valiant, and 5BB exerted a notably positive influence on the berry color (with a lower h° value). Berry hardness and pulling resistance (PR) were significantly improved by Valiant (hardness, 24% and 20% more than own-rooted vines in 2021 and 2022, respectively; PR, about 10% more than own-rooted vines in both seasons). …”

The impact of new urbanization on water ecological resilience: An empirical study from central China. by Daxue Kan, Lianjv Lv

“…The findings indicate that: (1) there exists a U-shaped curve relationship with a threshold effect between new urbanization and water ecological resilience; this conclusion remains valid even after conducting several robustness tests including extreme value treatment, re-measurement of independent variables, and replacement of econometric models. (2) In regions with lower levels of new urbanization, new urbanization exerts more significant stress effect on water ecological resilience through economic scale effect, population scale effect, investment pulling effect and foreign trade effect; whereas in regions with higher levels of new urbanization, new urbanization exerts more significant positive effect on water ecological resilience through factors agglomeration effect, technological progress effect, human capital effect, industrial structure effect and marketization effect. (3) Compared to non-pilot cities, the implementation of comprehensive pilot policies for new urbanization has significantly improved the water ecological resilience of cities in central China and the promotion of new urbanization of pilot cities contributes to enhancing water ecological resilience.…”

Growth and Tolerance of Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) Varieties to Pre and Postemergence Graminicides by Ellen Zimbere, Nester Mashingaidze, Simbarashe Muzemu, Joyful Tatenda Rugare

“…In the postemergence pot study, propaquizafop significantly (p<0.05) reduced plant height, number of pods, and yield of sesame more than fluazifop-p-butyl and hand pulling. It can be concluded that metolachlor and propaquizafop are not safe for use in these sesame genotypes at dosage rates that were used in this study. …”

Research on the Raft improved algorithm for anti-Byzantine nodes by WANG Xiaowei, LI Jie

“…ObjectivesIn order to solve the problem of malicious election and log tampering caused by Byzantine nodes in original Raft algorithm， an AntiB-Raft （Anti-Byzantine Raft） algorithm was proposed to resist Byzantine nodes.MethodsWhen the candidate requested to replace the Leader， the heartbeat monitoring threshold mechanism was used to determine whether the candidate can successfully obtain enough votes to become the new Leader， which was agreed that only when more than half of the nodes detected that the current Leader was really down， the candidate can obtain more than half of the votes and become the new Leader， so as to prevent the Byzantine node from maliciously pulling votes when current Leader was not down， which would result in the replacement of the normal Leader. …”
