Component hijacking is a class of vulnerabilities commonly appearing in Android applications. When these vulnerabilities are triggered by attackers, the vulnerable apps can exfiltrate sensitive information and compromise the data integrity on Android devices, on behalf of the attackers. It is often unrealistic to purely rely on developers to fix these vulnerabilities for two reasons: 1) it is a...

Nitrogen fixed by legumes is the main nitrogen source in organic farming systems. The design of crop rotation is strongly depending on the knowledge of how much nitrogen is fixed by legumes. Also for farm scale budgeting of Nitrogen it is essential to know the amount of Nitrogen fixed by the single leguminous crop. According to the literature, the determination of Nitrogen fixation is expensive...

Rhododendron aureum Georgi is a perennial evergreen dwarf shrub that grows at all elevations within the alpine tundra of northern China. Previous research has investigated the plant communities of R. aureum; however, little information is available regarding interspecific competition and underground soil microbial community composition. The objective of our study was to determine whether the pr...

A complement (C)-dependent antiglobulin assay was utilized to determine the reactivity of non-C-fixing monoclonal antibodies (MoAb) with human granulocyte-macrophage progenitor cells (CFU-GM). The variables of the assay were analyzed with non-C-fixing MoAb against Ia antigens, including CR11-462, which recognizes the same (or spatially close) determinant identified by the C-fixing anti-Ia MoAb ...

The lack of women in leadership across higher education has been problemitised in the literature. Often contemporary discourses promote ‘fixing the women’ as a solution. Consequently, interventions aimed at helping women break through ‘the glass ceiling’ abound. This article argues that the gendered power relations at play in universities stubbornly maintain entrenched inequalities whereby, reg...

This paper integrates theories of political budget cycles with theories of tactical electoral redistribution to test for political capture in a novel way. Studying banks in India, I …nd that government-owned bank lending tracks the electoral cycle, with agricultural credit increasing by 5-10 percentage points in an election year. There is signi…cant cross-sectional targeting, with large increas...

The timely fixing of bugs is important to ensure software quality. In Open Source Software (OSS) development, behaviors of stakeholders impact the bug fixing process, especially the different stages respectively. However, most of the existing studies on impact factors of bug fixing time usually treat bug fixing process as a whole, while neglecting the particularity at its different stages. Igno...

in order to study the response of concentration and composition of essential oil of coriander (coriandrum sativum) to cattle manure and nitrogen fixing bacteria, an experiment was conducted as factorial experiment in the base of randomized complete blocks design with twelve treatments and three replications at homand research station in damavand of iran in 2010. the factors were cattle manure i...

Legumes are characterized as keeping stable nutrient supply under nutrient-limited conditions. However, few studies examined the legumes' stoichiometric advantages over other plants across various taxa in natural ecosystems. We explored differences in nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) stoichiometry of different tissue types (leaf, stem, and root) between N2-fixing legume shrubs and non-N2-fixing ...

This review provides a good overview of biological nitrogen fixation in the growth of leguminous plants, particularly relating to fertilizer needs for crops. In addition to plants that form nodules that host nitrogen-fixing bacteria, other bacteria form different associations with plants, and this is currently under intense study to determine if there is significant nitrogen transfer to the pla...
