Detecting Malicious Facebook Applications using LSTM Algorithm

With twenty million introduces a day [1], outsider applications area unit a big purpose behind the acknowledgment and addictiveness of Facebook. Tragically, programmers have finished the aptitude of exploitation applications for spreading malware and spam. the problem is as of currently important, as we discover that a minimum of thirteen you look after applications in our dataset sq. estimates malignant. Up hitherto, the examination network has fixated on police examination vindictive posts and battles. we tend to tend to point out the issue: Given a Facebook application, can we tend to tend to affirm if it's vindictive? Our key commitment is in making LSTM— Facebook's Rigorous Application Evaluator—ostensibly the essential instrument fixated on police examination malevolent applications on Facebook. to make LSTM, we tend to tend to utilize info assembled by perceptive the posting conduct of 111K Facebook applications seen crosswise over 2.2 million purchasers on Facebook. to start with, we tend to tend to come to a decision plenty of decisions that encourage North yankee nation to acknowledge harmful applications from kind ones. for instance, we discover that vindictive applications normally share names with elective applications, which they for the foremost half demand less authorizations than amiable applications. Second, contributory these recognizing decisions, we tend to show that LSTM can find malignant applications with ninety nine . 5% exactness, with no imitative positives and a high obvious positive rate (95.9%). At long last, we tend to tend to research arrange of harmful Facebook applications and distinguish parts that these applications use to unfold. Curiously, we discover that few applications get together and bolster every other; in our dataset, we discover 1584 applications endorsing the being engendering of 3723 choice applications through their posts. Long haul, we tend to tend to examine LSTM as a stage toward creating Associate in Nursing freelance working dog for application appraisal and positioning, during this manner on caution Facebook purchasers before putting in applications.
Processed Cheese Spreads Fortified with Lycopene Extracted from Tomato Wastes

There is an increasing evidence of utilization of tomato by-products as a source of functional components in food processing. Lycopene present in tomato skin is a good source of carotenoids. It is widely used in food industry as natural and nontoxic source of color. It also has health benefits as antioxidant agent. This study aims to extract lycopene from tomato wastes to be added to processed cheese base and produce novel type of healthy dairy product. Lycopene was extracted from tomato wastes using palm oil and kept in refrigerator at 5Cuntil be used. Two formula of processed cheese were prepared, the first served as control ï (without lycopene), while the second served as treated-sample (fortified with 25.4% palm oil containing lycopene). The resultant cheese samples were stored for three months at 5 and 25°C. Fresh samples were analyzed for chemical composition, iron, lycopene contents, phenolic compounds, antioxidant activity, as well as sensory properties. They were also evaluated for some physiochemical properties when fresh and through three months at the two degrees of storage. Results showed that fresh treated samples had higher phenolic compounds, lycopene and iron contents as well as antioxidant activity than control. Penetrometer reading and meltability values were higher in treated samples while they had lower values of oil separation. Organoleptic properties indicated that treated samples gained higher scores for all sensory parameters than control In conclusion treated samples had higher content of Lycopene, iron, phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity. In the same time they had higher meltability and less oil separation than control samples. Moreover this study confirms that lycopene which extracted from tomato wastes can be used in preparing processed cheese with high content of iron, antioxidant and phenolic compounds.
A Large‐Scale Model of Wolf Distribution in Italy for Conservation Planning

The 400–500 wolves currently living in the Apennine range of peninsular Italy are slowly recolonizing the Alps and are expected to move northward. A nationwide management plan for the Italian wolf population is being prepared, and a zoning system with connecting corridors has been suggested. We developed a large‐scale probabilistic model of wolf distribution as a contribution to the planning process. Thirteen environmental variables related to wolf needs and human presence were analyzed in 12 well‐studied wolf territories and in 100 areas where the species has been absent for the past 25 years. These two areas were used as a training set in a discriminant analysis to evaluate potential wolf presence throughout the entire country. We used the Mahalanobis distance statistic as an index of environmental quality, calculated as the distance from the average environmental conditions of the wolf territories. Based on the Mahalanobis distance statistics, we constructed an actual and potential spatial distribution of the wolf for all of peninsular Italy. The jackknife procedure was used to assess the stability of the distance model and showed good confidence in our model (coefficient of variation ≤ 13%). Distance from the wolf territories’ centroid as an index of environmental quality for the wolf was tested using 287 locations where wolves have been found dead in the past 25 years as a consequence of human action (poison, shotgun, car accidents). A useful contribution to conservation planning resulted from comparing the frequency distribution of the Mahalanobis distance of the dead wolf locations with the percentage of study area within each distance class. This showed how the number of wolf casualties would greatly decrease with protection of only a minor part of the study area and indicated the usefulness of our approach for evaluation of other conservation options, such as core areas and corridor identification.
Winter habitat use by female caribou in relation to wildland fires in interior Alaska

The role of wildland fire in the winter habitat use of caribou (Rangifer tarandus) has long been debated. Fire has been viewed as detrimental to caribou because it destroys the slow-growing climax forage lichens that caribou utilize in winter. Other researchers argued that caribou were not reliant on lichens and that fire may be beneficial, even in the short term. We evaluated the distribution of caribou relative to recent fires (<50 years old) within the current winter range of the Nelchina caribou herd in east-central Alaska. To address issues concerning independence and spa- tial and temporal scales, we used both conventional very high frequency and global positioning system telemetry to es- timate caribou use relative to recent, known-aged burns. In addition, we used two methods to estimate availability of different habitat classes. Caribou used recently burned areas much less than expected, regardless of methodologies used. Moreover, within burns, caribou were more likely to use habitat within 500 m of the burn perimeter than core ar- eas. Methods for determining use and availability did not have large influences on our measures of habitat selectivity. Resume : Le role des feux de toundra sur l'utilisation de l'habitat par le caribou (Rangifer tarandus) en hiver fait l'objet de longs debats. Le feu est considere comme nuisible au caribou, car il detruit les lichens a croissance lente du climax que le caribou utilise en hiver. D'autres chercheurs pensent que le caribou n'est pas dependant des lichens et que le feu peut etre benefique, meme a court terme. Nous avons evalue la repartition des caribous en fonction des feux recents (<50 ans) dans les aires d'hivernage actuelles du troupeau de caribous Nelchina dans le centre-est de l'Alaska. Pour resoudre les questions relatives a l'independance et aux echelles spatiales et temporelles, nous avons utilise a la fois la telemetrie conventionnelle a tres haute frequence et la telemetrie basee sur le systeme de positionnement global pour estimer l'utilisation par les caribous de surfaces recemment brulees d'âge connu. De plus, nous avons utilise deux methodes pour estimer la disponibilite des differentes classes d'habitat. Les caribous utilisent les surfaces recemment incendiees beaucoup moins que prevu, quelle que soit la methodologie employee. De plus, sur les surfaces incendies, les caribous sont plus susceptibles d'utiliser les habitats situes a moins de 500 m du perimetre de la surface brulee que la region centrale. Les methodes employees pour determiner l'utilisation et la disponibilite n'ont pas d'influence impor- tante sur nos mesures de selectivite de l'habitat. (Traduit par la Redaction) Joly et al. 1201
Rethinking Public Economic Geographies: The Politics of Relevancy

Geographers have discussed the political relevance and practical application of their research for decades. Much of this debate has centered on the hurdles of such an involvement, but we argue that the larger issue at stake is on what grounds and to what ends applicable research is conducted. To illustrate how economic geography research informs public policy and to demonstrate its pitfalls, we examine two sites: regional agglomerations and creativity-led economic development. We propose that applicable research needs to be accompanied by a clearly articulated normative agenda.
Drought‐induced senescence is characterized by a loss of antioxidant defences in chloroplasts

The relationship between drought, oxidative stress and leaf senescence was evaluated in field-grown sage (Salvia officinalis L.), a drought-susceptible species that shows symptoms of senescence when exposed to stress. Despite the photoprotection conferred by the xanthophyll cycle, drought-stressed senescing leaves showed enhanced lipid peroxidation, chlorophyll loss, reduced photosynthetic activity and strong reductions of membrane-bound chloroplastic antioxidant defences (i.e. carotene and α-tocopherol), which is indicative of oxidative stress in chloroplasts. H 2 O 2 accumulated in drought-stressed senescing leaves. Subcellular localization studies showed that H 2 O 2 accumulated first in xylem vessels and the cell wall and later in the plasma membrane of mesophyll cells, but not in chloroplasts, indicating reactive oxygen species other than H 2 O 2 as direct responsible for the oxidative stress observed in the chloroplasts of drought-stressed senescing leaves. The strong degradation of carotene and α-tocopherol suggests an enhanced formation of singlet oxygen as the putative reactive oxygen species responsible for oxidative stress to senescing chloroplasts. This study demonstrates that oxidative stress in chloroplasts mediates drought-induced leaf senescence in sage growing in Mediterranean field conditions.
Effect of a Tumor Promotor on Amino Acid Transport in Mouse Fibroblasts

Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate a highly active tumor-promoting agent accelerates the uptake of α-aminoisobutyric acid (AIB)** in mouse fibroblasts. The increase in AIB uptake was caused by changes in the plasma membrane and was accompanied by a decrease in the Km value for AIB and an increase in Vmax. The increase in nutrient uptake may be an essestial factor in the induction and maintenance of the malignant phenotype of these cells.
Caractérisation de l'effet stimulant de deux neuro-peptides (thyréolibérine - TRH - et peptide vaso-actif intestinal - VIP -) sur la sécrétion de l'hormone de croissance (GH) du rat

: The effects of thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) on growth hormone (GH) secretion were investigated in vivo in freely moving, intact or mediobasal hypothalamic-lesioned rats and in vitro in incubation or superfusion systems of anterior pituitary tissue. In vivo, the two peptides induced a rapid increase of plasma GH levels in freely moving animals, bearing an extensive lesion of the mediobasal hypothalamus including the median eminence. VIP, but not TRH, was also effective in intact animals. In vitro, TRH and VIP stimulated GH release from incubated or superfused rat pituitaries in a concentrated manner: apparent affinity was 1.22. 10(-8) M for TRH and 2.5. 10(-9) M for VIP. These findings indicate that TRH and VIP exert a direct stimulatory action on somatotrophs, but that the effect of TRH (not observed in freely moving, intact rats) may be modulated by still other unidentified hypothalamic neurohormones.
Increasing fiber length and growth in transgenic tobacco plants overexpressing a gene encoding the Eucalyptus camaldulensis HD-Zip class II transcription factor

Since the woody plants are important bio-materials for paper, chemical and energy production, strategies for improvement of their properties are of considerable interest. We examined the expression of Eucalyptus camaldulensis transcription factor (TF) genes in xylem tissues using an oligo-microarray gene analysis technique. As a result, we isolated 21 TF genes related to xylem development. Following a functional investigation of 7 TFs in vitro, we selected the xylem TF gene EcHB1, which encodes a HD-Zip class II, for investigation as a transgene. EcHB1 expression was driven by the CaMV35S promoter in transgenic tobacco plants, which showed greater fiber length (≤20%) and plant height (≤50%) than wild-type plants. In addition, leaf, root and stem growth were significantly enhanced in the transgenic lines, which also had a lower acid-soluble lignin and hemicellulose content than wild-type. Our results indicate that metabolic flexibility might be involved in these improvements to xylem cell wall biosynthesis and that in addition to providing a growth advantage, such modifications may confer long-term structural integrity to the woody perennials.
Optical Medium Spatial Resolution Satellite Constellation Data for Monitoring Woodland in the UK

The aim of this study was to test the potential of a constellation of remote sensing satellites, the Disaster Monitoring Constellation (DMC), for retrieving a temporal record of forest leaf area index (LAI) in the United Kingdom (U.K.). Ground-based LAI measurements were made over a 12-month period in broadleaf woodland at Risley Moss Nature Reserve, Lancashire, U.K. The ground-based LAI varied between zero in January to a maximum of 4.5 in July. Nine DMC images, combining data from UK-DMC and NigeriaSat-1, were acquired, and all images were cross-calibrated and atmospherically corrected. The spectral reflectance of the test site was extracted, and a range of vegetation indices were then computed and correlated with the ground measurements of LAI. The soil adjusted vegetation index (SAVI) had the strongest correlation, and this was used to derive independent estimates of LAI using the “leave-one-out” method. The root mean square error of the LAI estimates was 0.47, which was close to that calculated for the ground-measured LAI. This study shows, for the first time, that data from a constellation of high temporal, medium spatial resolution optical satellite sensors may be used to map seasonal variation in woodland canopy leaf area index (LAI) in cloud-prone areas, like the U.K.
Littoral rotifers from the state of Mato Grosso, Brazil

Rotifer composition of eight small bodies of water along the Transpantaneira highway (Pantanal of Pocone) are incorporated with species composition of six stations from Baia Acurizal (Pantanal of Barao de Melgaco), to give a listing of 172 rotifers from the State of Mato Grosso. One hundred and four different rotifers were identified from the Transpantaneira highway, and 97 species were recorded from Baia Acurizal. New regional records are cited along with comments on biogeography and ecology for the rotifers Dicranophorus hercules Wiszniewski (1932), Filinia passa (Muller 1786), Lindia pallida Harring and Myers (1922), Paracolurella aemula (Myers 1934), and Proalinopsis staurus Harring and Myers (1924). Paracolurella aemula is discussed as being widely distributed in muddy and thickly vegetated habitats of tropical and temperate climates. Lecane (Monostyla) copeis is shown to have a wider tropical range than previously thought.
The influence of 3,4-dimethylpyrazole phosphate and dicyandiamide on reducing nitrate accumulation in spinach under Mediterranean conditions

The European Union has limited the maximum nitrate (NO3−) content allowed for industrial processed spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) to 2000 mg/kg fresh weight in order to avoid human pathologies associated with uptake of high amounts of nitrate. Nitrification inhibitors (NIs) 3,4-dimethylpyrazole phosphate (DMPP) and dicyandiamide (DCD) allow changing of the molecular form (NH4+ or NO3−) in which soil mineral N is available for plants. Enhancing ammonium nutrition has successfully reduced the amount of nitrate accumulated in plants in hydroponic culture. Therefore, fertilizers containing NIs have been proposed to reduce nitrate accumulated by vegetables grown in field conditions. Basammon Stabil® (BS) and Entec 26®-(E26) are commercial fertilizers containing DCD and DMPP respectively. In the present paper, the effect of applying ammonium sulphate nitrate (ASN), BS and E26 at three rates (0, 150 and 250 kg N/ha) to spinach crops cultivated under Mediterranean growing conditions for industrial processing is analysed. During 1998 and 1999, eight field split-plot trials with four replicates were carried out in the Ebro Valley, northern Spain, during different seasons and with various soil types. The fertilizer effects were influenced by the season and the type of soil. In spring, fertilizers containing NIs increased the mineral N (Nmin) in the soil and greatly reduced nitrate accumulation in the crop. In autumn, with less solar radiation, the nitrate accumulation was more than 2000 mg/kg fresh weight on many occasions and the effect of NIs was smaller. The present paper concluded that, under Mediterranean growing conditions, DCD can reduce nitrate accumulation in spinach between 18 and 61% and DMPP between 33 and 84%, without reducing yield or changing other quality characteristics. NIs are especially useful in the spring, when soil temperature is low and solar radiation interception by the crop is high.
Antimicrobial Activity of Marsilea quadrifolia (L.) Against Some Selected Pathogenic Microorganisms

Objective: To investigate the antimicrobial activity of different solvent extracts of leaf and stem of M. quadrifolia (L.) against selected human pathogenic microorganisms. Methods: The antimicrobial activity was evaluated by well diffusion method. The antibacterial and antifungal studies were carried out at the Department Laboratory, Government Arts College (Autonomous), Kumbakonam – 612 001, Tamilnadu, India during the months of July to December 2013. Wells of 6 mm diameter were punched in the agar medium and filled with different volumes of extracts (50mg/ml) contains 2.5, 3.75 and 5mg concentrations. Results: The antimicrobial activity of different solvent extracts of leaf and stem of M. quadrifolia at different concentrations was analyzed. Among the concentrations, 5mg of both leaf and stem extracts showed best antimicrobial activity than other concentrations 2.5 and 3.75mg. The leaf and stem extracts showed antimicrobial activity and produced the zone of inhibition ranges from 8 to 23mm. The aqueous leaf extract showed maximum zone of inhibition 23mm against Streptococcus pyogenes followed by ethanolic stem extract showed 21mm against Bacillus subtilis . The minimum antibacterial activity 8mm was observed by diethyl ether stem extract against Klebsiella pneumonia. The antifungal activity of diethyl ether leaf extract showed positive results in all tested fungal strains when compared to other solvent extracts. The maximum zone of inhibition 13mm was observed against Aspergillus terreus at 5mg of diethyl ether leaf extract. Aqueous and methanolic

Hibernation and Overwinter Body Temperatures in Free-Ranging Thirteen-Lined Ground Squirrels, Ictidomys tridecemlineatus

Abstract Free-ranging, juvenile thirteen-lined ground squirrels (Ictidomys tridecemlineatus) in southwestern Michigan were fitted in late summer or fall with external skin-temperature loggers. Data were obtained the following spring for five males and three females. During the heterothermal period, all squirrels exhibited 11–22 prolonged ( = 9.4 d) torpor bouts punctuated by typically brief ( = 14.3 h) arousal bouts, with mean monthly torpor bouts becoming longer and deeper until Feb. and reversing thereafter. Torpor-bout duration increased as minimum skin and soil temperatures decreased. On average, males initiated the first torpor bout later in fall, terminated the last torpor bout significantly earlier in spring and thus spent less time in the heterothermal period than did females. Three males displayed relatively short torpor bouts and long arousal bouts as they approached the end of hibernation. Squirrels gained weight variably in fall and spring, and one female lost 39% of body mass during hibernation.
Stability Indexes of Radiated and Nonradiated Oat Genotypes Propagated in Bulk Populations

Two lines of descent were established from an F bulk lot of oats (L.) initiated by mixing seeds from 250 crosses. For one line of descent, seeds were radiated with thermal neutrons or X-rays from F through F, and these treatments were followed by five generations of bulk propagation with no artificial selection. The other line was propagated for 10 generations with no artificial selection. Twenty random strains from each of four generations from the radiated (F, F, F, and F) and five from the nonradiated (F, F, F, F, and F) line of descent, and ‘Nodaway’ cultivar were used to measure stability indexes for grain yield, plant weight, harvest index, plant height, 100-seed weight, and seed numbers in the various generations.Mean regression stability indexes for grain yield decreased from 1.17 to 1.02 in the nonradiated line, and increased from 0.82 to 1.04 in the radiated line of descent over time. Generally, data on oat strains from the radiated line fitted the linear regression model better than those from the nonradiated one. The changes in mean regression stability indexes for plant weight paralleled those for grain yield, but no trends in this statistic occurred for other traits.Genotypic variances among strains within generations were sporadic for all traits in both lines of descent. for grain yield, seed number, and plant height there were consistent expansions in the genotype ✕ environment interaction variances within generations. This was primarily due to the regression stability indexes among lines becoming more diverse over time. The contributions of deviations from regression to the interaction variance remained relatively constant over generations in both lines of descent.Means and regression stability indexes for oat strains within generations were highly and positively correlated for grain yield, seed number, bundle weight, and plant height.
Effects of ingestion of dung containing ivermectin on aspects of behaviour in the fly Neomyia cornicina

Abstract. Adults of the dung fly Neomyia cornicina (Fabricius) were fed continuously on either dung containing no ivermectin (control dung) or dung containing 0.125 μg g‐1or 0.25 μ g‐1ivermectin (wet weight). Comparisons were made between the behaviour of flies during the first 24 h of dung feeding and that observed after 96 h of feeding.Subsequent experiments investigated the effects of ivermectin ingestion on three measures of locomotory ability: escape time, time to re‐right, and capture time.
