Neonectria ditissima is a major cause of blossom-end rot (eye rot, calyx-end rot) as pre-harvest fruit apple in Northwestern Europe. Artificial inoculation trees was undertaken at close intervals under natural conditions during flowering order to obtain higher-resolution definition the most susceptible phenological stage for infections by N. ditissima. Similar trials were conducted another fung...

The first recorded bloom of Karenia spp., resulting in brevetoxin in oysters, in the low salinity waters of the Northern Gulf of Mexico (NGOMEX) occurred in November 1996. It raised questions about the salinity tolerance of Karenia spp., previously considered unlikely to occur at salinities <24 psu, and the likelihood that the bloom would reoccur in the NGOMEX. Salinity was investigated as a fa...

Detection and traceback of distributed denial of service (DDoS/DoS) attacks have become a challenge for network security. In this paper, we propose a lightweight cooperative detection framework (CCBFF) based on counting bloom filter to detect and trace DDoS/DoS attack online. The CCBFF contains 2 counting bloom filters CBF1 and CBF2. The CBF1 distinguishes different network connection topology ...

Membership testing is the problem of testing whether an element is in a set of elements. Performing the test exactly is expensive space-wise, requiring the storage of all elements in a set. In many applications, an approximate testing that can be done quickly using small space is often desired. Bloom filter (BF) was designed and has witnessed great success across numerous application domains. B...

Coral populations are in decline due to environmental changes and biological attacks by predators and infectious diseases. Here, we report a localized bloom of the benthic filamentous cyanobacterium Moorea bouillonii (formerly Lyngbya bouillonii) observed exclusively on the gorgonian (sea fan) coral Annella reticulata at around 20 m depth in Japan. The degree of infection has reached 26% among ...

Lighter avoids counting k-mers. Instead, it uses a pair of Bloom filters, one holding a sample of the input k-mers and the othe...

Cyanobacteria blooms are a major environmental issue worldwide. Our understanding of the biophysical processes driving cyanobacterial proliferation and the ability to develop predictive models that inform resource managers and policy makers rely upon the accurate characterization of bloom dynamics. Models quantifying relationships between bloom severity and environmental drivers are often calib...

Pseudo-nitzschia blooms often occur in coastal and open ocean environments, sometimes leading to the production of the neurotoxin domoic acid that can cause severe negative impacts to higher trophic levels. Increasing evidence suggests a close relationship between phytoplankton bloom and bacterial assemblages, however, the microbial composition and succession during a bloom process is unknown. ...
