Augmenting Naïve Bayes Classifiers with <i>k</i>-Tree Topology by Fereshteh R. Dastjerdi, Liming Cai

“…It is proved that, under the Kullback–Leibler divergence measurement, <i>k</i>-tree topology approximation of Bayesian classifiers loses the minimum information with the topology of a maximum spanning <i>k</i>-tree, where the edge weights of the graph are mutual information between random variables conditional upon the class label. …”

IDENTIFICATION OF ENTOMOPATHOGENIC FUNGI FOR THE BIOLOGICAL CONTROL OF Diaphorina citri IN CITRUS TREES by M. G. Landa-Cadena, A. Trigos, F. Hernández-Rosas, A. Salinas-Castro

“…The strains A. crateriforme were identified with a mortality percentage of 90%, M. anisopliae with 85%, H. citriformis with 68%, I. fumosorosea 65% and T. harzianum with 50%, they had an endophytic entomopathogenic behavior, and it was shown that the five strains colonized persian lime trees by the method of direct flooding of conidia at the base of the stem and roots, mummifying adults of the citrus psyllid under greenhouse conditions.…”

TO THE QUESTION OF OPTIMISING THE DYNAMIC CHARACTERISTICS OF A VIBRATIONAL TREE UPROOTING MACHINE by A. R. Mikhitarov, V. L. Savich, V. K. Khegai

“…The aim of the research is to investigate means of eliminating these drawbacks by using vibration.Methods The article deals with theproblem of ensuring the effectiveness of the vibration application – in particular, torsional vibrations, used to stub trees together with their roots. To solve this problem, a mathematical model of the “machine-tree-soil-root system” system was developed, which takes into account the mutual influence of the dynamic characteristics of the machine’s technological equipment and tree and soil-root system, which allows a rational (optimal) frequency range of vibration equipment to be selected by analysing the amplitude-frequency characteristics of a given system. …”

Tree networks of real-world data: Analysis of efficiency and spatiotemporal scales by Davide Cipollini, Lambert Schomaker

“…Moreover, the complexity of the environmental conditions the system has adapted to is encoded in the value of the exponent of the power-law spectral density, which is inherently related to the network spectral dimension and directly influences the traits of those maximally functionally efficient networks. …”

Host tree impact on Lymantria species under CO2 and temperature changes by Barbora Dvořáková, Jaroslav Holuša, David Musiolek, Alina Kalyniukova, Jaromír Hradecký, Jaroslav Čepl, Axel Schopf

“…To explore these effects, the performance of spongy moth larvae (Lymantria dispar) was assessed on oak (Quercus robur) and spruce (Picea abies) seedlings grown under varying climatic conditions. This approach compares a preferred host with a non-preferred one in the case of L. dispar, providing insight into how host plant selection may be influenced under future climate scenarios. …”

Advance of DAM-like genes in bud dormancy of deciduous fruit trees in Rosaceae family by ZHAO Yalin, WANG Lirong

“…DAM-likes were up-regulated during dormancy set and down-regulated when dormancy release in Rosaceae deciduous fruit trees. Under controlled environmental conditions, the expressions of PpDAM5/6 were up-regulated in autumn under the influence of environmental low temperature, while they were down-regulated in winter under the influence of long-term low temperature, and their expression levels were negatively correlated with germination rate. …”
