Species of Eucalyptus are keystone species for ecological studies in their natural ranges and are extensively planted in the tropical and subtropical regions of the world to supply high-quality woody biomass for various applications. We report the development of a selected set of 20 dinucleotide and trinucleotide repeat microsatellites derived from Eucalyptus expressed sequence tags (ESTs). The...

[1] This study investigates the temporal stability and transferability of dichotomous choice willingness to pay responses and their determinants from two large-scale contingent valuation surveys in the area of flood control and wetland conservation. The study considers a time period between surveys which is more than double that considered in previous test-retest analyses. Whereas such previous...

Force field calculations on conjugated molecules are discussed. The discussion is based on the experience of a series of overlay calculations, recently carried out, where the transferability of force constants was thoroughly studied. Successful applications as well as limitations of the constructed force field are described. The effects of nonbonded interactions are recognized as the most serio...

We investigated the transferability of 20 Fragaria vesca microsatellite primer pairs to 13 Fragaria vesca accessions, six Fragaria species and ten commercially important species in Rosaceae. Genetic diversity studies were carried among 16 diploid Fragaria accessions using these polymorphic microsatellites. The average number of alleles amplified for a polymorphic locus was 4.7 with maximum bein...

This multicentre trial assessed the inter-laboratory transferability and agreement of results for five instrument applications (Immage, BN A, BN II, Cobas Mira and Microtiter) of the Axis-Shield %CDT kit, a new version immunoassay for quantification of the alcohol marker carbohydrate-deficient transferrin (CDT) in serum. Two %CDT kit controls and three authentic serum samples were compared by 1...

Chameleon signatures simultaneously provide the properties of nonrepudiation and non-transferability for the signed message. However, the initial constructions of chameleon signatures suffer from the problem of key exposure. This creates a strong disincentive for the recipient to forge signatures, partially undermining the concept of non-transferability. Recently, some specific constructions of...

Given self-protection from an undesirable environmental externality, we examine. under several conditions, the efficiency properties of cooperative and noncooperative behavior. We demonstrate that if self-protection can transfer the externality to another agent, then noncooperative behavior will lead to overprotection. If self-protection filters or dilutes the externality, then noncooperation l...

The study of population genetics among the Bemisia tabaci complex is limited due to the lack of conserved molecular markers. In this study, 358, 433 and 322 new polynucleotide microsatellites are separately identified from the transcriptome sequences of three cryptic species of the B. tabaci complex. The cross species transferability of 57 microsatellites was then experimentally validated. The ...

Transferability of adversarial examples is a key issue to apply this kind attacks against multimedia forensics (MMF) techniques based on Deep Learning (DL) in real-life setting. Adversarial example transferability, fact, would open the way deployment successful counter also cases where attacker does not have full knowledge to-be-attacked system. Some preliminary works shown that CNN-based image...
