The efficacy of the semiochemical repellent verbenone to reduce ambrosia beetle attack on healthy and Ceratocystis-infested ‘ōhiʻa trees

Trees, Forests and People
The Ceratocystis fungal disease complex, rapid ʻōhiʻa death (ROD), has killed over one million ʻōhiʻa (Metrosideros polymorpha), the keystone tree species of Hawaiʻi. The causal fungi can be spread by invasive ambrosia beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)

Shoot damage and growth losses following three years of Tomicus-attacks in Scots pine stands close to a timber storage site.

Silva Fennica, 1991
Shoot losses due to maturation feeding by pine shoot beetles (L.) and (Hart.), Col., Scolytidae) and subsequent growth losses were studied in Scots pine ( L.) stands growing at different distances from a timber yard, where pine timber was stored during ...

Attack-defense trees

, 2017
Attack-defense trees are a novel methodology for graphical security modelling and assessment. They extend the well- known formalism of attack trees by allowing nodes that represent defensive measures to appear at any level of the tree.

Cotton Recruits Soil‐Derived Delftia tsuruhatensis to Suppress Aphid Detoxification Via Salicylic Acid‐Mediated Defense

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study systematically reveals a complex interactive network involving plants, microbes, and insects, elucidating the ecological and molecular mechanisms by which cotton enhances its resistance to aphids through the active recruitment of the beneficial soil bacterium Delftia tsuruhatensis.

A Biomimetic Nanoparticle System Intercepts and Degrades Thrombospondin‐1 to Restore Vascular Homeostasis After Ischemic Injury

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
TAX2‐NPs capture extracellular TSP‐1 in the injured liver and promote its macrophage‐mediated autophagic degradation. This process blocks TSP‐1/CD47 signaling, restores VEGFR2‐AKT activity, preserves endothelial function, and mitigates hepatic ischemia‐reperfusion injury.

A simulation model for the succession of the boreal forest ecosystem.

Silva Fennica, 1992
A model for the succession of the forest ecosystem is described. The growth and development of trees and ground cover are controlled by temperature and light conditions and the availability of nitrogen and water.

Data‐Driven Modeling of Composition–Processing–Microstructure Relations for Recycled Aluminum Cast Alloys

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Interpretable machine learning reveals how composition and processing govern the formation and microstructural burden of Fe‐rich intermetallic compounds in recycled Al–Si–Fe–Mn alloys. By separating morphology selection from morphology‐conditioned burden partitioning, this framework shows that identical Fe contents can yield different intermetallic ...

Computational Aspects of Attack-Defense Trees

, 2011
peer reviewedAttack-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 ...
