Chitinase-producing bacteria and their role in biocontrol
Chitin is an important component of the exteriors of insects and fungi. Upon degradation of chitin by a number of organisms, severe damage and even death may occur in pathogens and pests whose external surfaces contain this polymer.

Deep-sequencing of the Peach Latent Mosaic Viroid Reveals New Aspects of Population Heterogeneity [PDF]
Viroids are small circular single-stranded infectious RNAs that are characterized by a relatively high mutation level. Knowledge of their sequence heterogeneity remains largely elusive, and, as yet, no strategy attempting to address this question from a population dynamics point of view is in place.

Generalized mixed linear modeling approach to analyze nodulation in common bean inbred lines [PDF]
: The objective of this work was to compare distributions for the modeling of the number and dry matter weight of nodules (DWN) of Rhizobium from different inoculants in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) inbred lines subjected to nitrogen doses, as well ...

Network Inoculation: Heteroclinics and phase transitions in an epidemic model [PDF]
In epidemiological modelling, dynamics on networks, and in particular adaptive and heterogeneous networks have recently received much interest. Here we present a detailed analysis of a previously proposed model that combines heterogeneity in the individuals with adaptive rewiring of the network structure in response to a disease.

The effects of farm management practices and seasonal variation on the microbial community and chemical composition of corn and grass-legume silage are largely understudied due to the advantages of controlled mini-silo experiments.

Induction of tin pest for cleaning tin-drop contaminated optics [PDF]
Tin pest, the allotropic {\beta} - {\alpha} phase transformation of tin, was examined for use in cleaning of tin-contaminated optics. Induction of change in material structure led to disintegration of tin samples into pieces and powder. The transition times were studied for tin drops of different purity grades, using inoculation with {\alpha}-Sn seed ...

Demystifying Causal Features on Adversarial Examples and Causal Inoculation for Robust Network by Adversarial Instrumental Variable Regression [PDF]
The origin of adversarial examples is still inexplicable in research fields, and it arouses arguments from various viewpoints, albeit comprehensive investigations. In this paper, we propose a way of delving into the unexpected vulnerability in adversarially trained networks from a causal perspective, namely adversarial instrumental variable (IV ...

Inoculants combining Lentilactobacillus buchneri and Lentilactobacillus hilgardii have been shown to improve the aerobic stability of high-moisture corn (HMC) and whole-plant corn silage, but the mode of action of this co-inoculation remains to be ...
