A specialist herbivore uses chemical camouflage to overcome the defenses of an ant-plant mutualism. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Many plants and ants engage in mutualisms where plants provide food and shelter to the ants in exchange for protection against herbivores and competitors.

Mechanisms of Pine Disease Susceptibility Under Experimental Climate Change

open access: yesFrontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2022
Climate change (CC) conditions projected for many temperate areas of the world, expressed by way of excessive temperatures and low water availability, will impact forest health directly by means of abiotic stress but also by predisposing trees to ...

Computational Aspects of Attack–Defense Trees [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Attack---defense trees extend attack trees with defense nodes. This richer formalism allows for a more precise modeling of a system's vulnerabilities, by representing interactions between possible attacks and corresponding defensive measures. In this paper we compare the computational complexity of both formalisms.

Formal Template-Based Generation of Attack–Defence Trees for Automated Security Analysis

open access: yesInformation, 2023
Systems that integrate cyber and physical aspects to create cyber-physical systems (CPS) are becoming increasingly complex, but demonstrating the security of CPS is hard and security is frequently compromised.

Systemic Acquired Resistance-Mediated Control of Pine Wilt Disease by Foliar Application With Methyl Salicylate

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Pine wilt disease (PWD), caused by the pinewood nematode, is the most destructive disease in pine forest ecosystems worldwide. Extensive research has been done on PWD, but effective disease management is yet to be devised.

Quantitative Questions on Attack–Defense Trees [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Attack-defense trees are a novel methodology for graphical security modeling and assessment. The methodology includes visual, intuitive tree models whose analysis is supported by a rigorous mathematical formalism. Both, the intuitive and the formal components of the approach can be used for quantitative analysis of attack-defense scenarios. In practice,

A Minimum Defense Cost Calculation Method for Attack Defense Trees [PDF]

open access: yesSecurity and Communication Networks, 2020
The cyberphysical system (CPS) is becoming the infrastructure of society. Unfortunately, the CPS is vulnerable to cyberattacks, which may cause environmental pollution, property losses, and even casualties. Furthermore, in contrast to the conventional Internet, the devices in CPSs are more specific, and the device systems may not be upgraded or ...

Comparison of Individual Sensors in the Electronic Nose for Stress Detection in Forest Stands

open access: yesSensors, 2023
Forests are increasingly exposed to natural disturbances, including drought, wildfires, pest outbreaks, and windthrow events. Due to prolonged droughts in the last years in Europe, European forest stands significantly lost vitality, and their health ...

From Attack Trees to Attack-Defense Trees with Generative AI & Natural Language Processing

open access: yesProceedings of the ACM/IEEE 27th International Conference on Model Driven Engineering Languages and Systems
International audienceAttack-defense trees, an extension of attack trees, are extensively used by security engineers to document potential countermeasures for security threats present in a system's design. These trees help integrate initial system models

Localization of (+)-Catechin in Picea abies Phloem: Responses to Wounding and Fungal Inoculation

open access: yesMolecules, 2020
To understand the positional and temporal defense mechanisms of coniferous tree bark at the tissue and cellular levels, the phloem topochemistry and structural properties were examined after artificially induced bark defense reactions.
