Wild orchids

Collection and trade of wild-harvested orchids in Nepal

BACKGROUND Wild orchids are illegally harvested and traded in Nepal for use in local traditional medicine, horticulture, and international trade. This study aims to: 1) identify the diversity of species of wild orchids in trade in Nepal; 2) study the chain of commercialization from collector to client and/or export; 3) map traditional knowledge and medicinal use of orchids; and 4) integrate the...

aperture in the tissues surrounding the meristems. 'This simple experiment revealed that there were four distinct regions of the embryo with different plasmodesmata apertures. The shoot meristem had the highest aperture enabling movement of single-to-triple sized GFP; the hypocotyl (embryonic stem) allowed single, double and some triple-sized GFP movement; the root allowed single and double-siz...

A Smell of Orchids

ORCHIDS is an intrusion detection tool based on techniques for fast, on-line model-checking. ORCHIDS detects complex, correlated strands of events with very low overhead in practice, although its detection algorithm has worstcase exponential time complexity. The purpose of this paper is twofold. First, we explain the salient features of the basic model-checking algorithm in an intuitive way, as...

The Orchids Intrusion Detection Tool

ORCHIDS is an intrusion detection tool based on techniques for fast, on-line model-checking. Temporal formulae are taken from a temporal logic tailored to the description of intrusion signatures. They are checked against merged network and system event flows, which together form a linear Kripke structure.
