Anthracnose, caused by Colletotrichum acutatum, is one of the most destructive diseases of chili worldwide. Fungicides including picoxystrobin, azoxystrobin, difenoconazole, thiophanate-methyl and mancozeb have been used to manage anthracnose diseases for many years. Pyraclostrobin was introduced in China in 2016 to control chili anthracnose but has not seen widespread use. In this study, 40 isolates...
We consider a System of Systems (SoS) wherein each system Si, i = 1, 2,…, N, is composed of discrete cyber and physical components which can be attacked and reinforced. We characterize the disruptions using aggregate failure correlation functions given by the conditional failure probability of SoS given the failure of an individual system. We formulate the problem of ensuring the survival of SoS as...
Many critical infrastructures are composed of multiple systems of components which are correlated so that disruptions to one may propagate to others. We consider such infrastructures with correlations characterized in two ways: (i) an aggregate failure correlation function specifies the conditional failure probability of the infrastructure given the failure of an individual system, and (ii) a pairwise...
In critical infrastructures consisting of discrete cyber and physical components, the correlations between them may be exploited to launch strategic component attacks that may degrade the entire system. We capture such correlations between cyber and physical sub-infrastructures using the conditional probabilities, and between cyber and physical components using first-order differential conditions...
The availability of both reliable parameter (kinetic constant) estimates and knowledge about sensitive pathway interactions are still limiting steps in the analysis of biochemical signal transduction pathways. This paper investigates feature selection/model reduction in biochemical pathways by examining parameter sensitivity using basis pursuit regularization. A 1-norm model complexity measure allows...
