Investigation on the botnets activities by HAN Xin-hui1, GUO Jin-peng1, ZHOU Yong-lin2, ZHUGE Jian-wei1, ZOU Wei1

“…Botnets have become the first-choice attack platform for the network attackers to launch distributed denial of service attacks,steal sensitive information and send spam.They have raised serious threats to normal operation of the Internet and the benefits of the Internet users.The investigation on the wild botnets activities is the necessary for the fur-ther monitering and countermeasure against world-wide botnets.Based on the investigation and analysis on tracking re-cords of 1 961 wild botnets,it shows the statistical results of botnet activities,including amount of botnets,command and control channel distributions,botnet size and end-host distributions,and various types of botnet attack activities.…”

Mallard Hybridization With Domesticated Lineages Alters Spring Migration Behavior and Timing by Nicholas W. Bakner, Nicholas M. Masto, Philip Lavretsky, Cory J. Highway, Allison C. Keever, Abigail G. Blake‐Bradshaw, Ryan J. Askren, Heath M. Hagy, Jamie C. Feddersen, Douglas C. Osborne, Bradley S. Cohen

“…ABSTRACT Introgressive hybridization, the interbreeding and gene flow between different species, has become increasingly common in the Anthropocene, where human‐induced ecological changes and the introduction of captively reared individuals are increasing secondary contact among closely related species, leading to gene flow between wild and domesticated lineages. As a result, domesticated‐wild hybridization may potentially affect individual fitness, leading to maladaptive effects such as shifts in behavior or life‐history decisions (e.g., migration patterns), which could influence population demographics. …”

Thermal properties and non-bonded interactions in human PMP2 variants: A molecular dynamics study by Prabin Aryal, Jhulan Powrel

“…In the mutant, a slight increase in RMSD values was observed, suggesting a minor reduction in structural stability compared to the wild-type protein. The number of hydrogen bonds formed was generally higher in the wild-type protein, with slightly more differences observed at 305 K and 315 K than at 310 K. …”
