We tested lethal trap trees and repellent semiochemicals as area treatments to protect host trees from spruce beetle (Dendroctonus rufipennis Kirby) attacks. Lethal trap tree treatments ("spray treatment") combined a spruce beetle bait with carbaryl treatment of the baited spruce. Repellent treatments ("spray-repellent") combined a baited lethal trap tree within a 16-m grid of MCH (3-methylcycl...

A partir de dados etnográficos levantados na Colômbia entre mulheres que tiveram seus corpos agredidos com agentes químicos, procuro argumentar esse ato marca e amputa especialmente rostos como uma forma deixar o sujeito atacado vivo, mas sub-humanizado, envergonhado afastado do convívio social. Pretendo analisar os efeitos iniciais desse desfazimento, isto é, aquele acomete altera as relações ...

Intrusion detection systems (IDS) are quickly becoming a standard component of a network security infrastructure. Most IDS developed to date emphasize detection; response is mainly concentrated on blocking a part of the network after an intrusion has been detected. This mechanism can help in temporarily stopping the intrusion, but such a limited response means that attacking is free for the att...

The foraging behaviors of predatory female Franklinothrips orizabensis Johansen towards Scirtothrips perseae Nakahara and Heliothrips haemorrhoidalis (Bouch e) in avocado leaf arenas were videotaped and analyzed. F. orizabensis encountered and attacked more second instar S. perseae with 80% ðn 1⁄4 113Þ attacks on this life stage being observed compared to 20% on first instars ðn 1⁄4 28Þ when eq...

This paper introduces a stacking ensemble model, which combines three single models, to improve intrusion detection in supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems. The first layer of the proposed model is combination random forest, light boosting gradient machine, eXtreme models. We use an multilayer perceptron (MLP) network as meta-classifier model. optimized tested on internation...
