Strategies for Selecting Potentially Effective Biofumigant Species for Optimal Biofumigation Outcomes by Juan Manuel Arroyo, Jose Soler, Rubén Linares, Daniel Palmero

“…Field trials across two growing cycles assessed biomass production, glucosinolate (GSL) concentration, photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) interception, and radiation use efficiency (RUE). Biomass production varied across species and sampling dates, with <i>S. alba</i> and <i>R. sativus</i> outperforming other species in shorter cycles, while <i>B. juncea</i> and <i>B. carinata</i> showed a more efficient GSL profile regarding soil-borne disease control, particularly in aliphatic GSLs like sinigrin. …”

Aligning urban forest management actions with urban sustainability goals: A multi‐city expert elicitation by Corinne G. Bassett, Susan D. Day, Cecil C. Konijnendijk, Lara A. Roman, Victoria Hemming

“…Participants assessed the impacts of 40 direct management actions on five goals: (1) canopy cover increase and tree risk reduction, (2) urban heat reduction, (3) people–nature relationships, (4) wildlife habitat, and (5) stormwater interception and infiltration. While certain actions (e.g., in the mature tree maintenance phase) were selected as needed to advance every goal, experts identified numerous actions which aligned with one or several goals, but not all. …”

Privacy protection system based on Hook for Android by Xiaoyan ZHU, Hui ZHANG, Jianfeng MA

“…A privacy protection system based on Hook technology was designed and implemented to address the problem of user privacy leakage caused by malicious applications in Android.The system consists of three modules:application classification module,privacy information management module and collusion attack management module.The application classification module constructs classification model by using permission feature vectors and then classifies mobile applications into malicious applications and normal applications.The privacy information management module hooks all privacy-related application programming interfaces (API) based on Hook technology and then intercepts malicious applications by returning false data or empty data.The collusion attack management module hooks all inter-application communication channels and then intercepts corresponding communication contents by using the permission rules of collusion attack.Finally,the proposed privacy protection scheme on Android virtual machine was implemented to prove and its feasibility and effectiveness were proved.In addition,the system can intercept application behaviors of breaching privacy in real time with less memory,which does not need to modify Android system and applications.…”
