Arthropod biodiversity in European crops: Representative taxa for pest control and pollination by Grzegorz Sowa, Steven T.J. Droge, José Paulo Sousa, Lorraine Maltby

“…Perennial crops generally harboured greater arthropod diversity, reflecting the benefits of more stable and structurally complex habitats. In contrast, specific pest control taxa, including ladybirds (Coccinellidae) and hoverflies (Syrphidae), were more abundant in annual crop systems, highlighting dynamic pest–prey interactions. …”

Sustainable development in the tourism sector: The impact of environmental, social, and governance performance on operational efficiency—A multilevel analytical approach by Yu Zhang, Hon Tat Huam, Zi Rui Zhang

“…The pure tourism segment shows the strongest linkage between ESG performance and employment, outperforming accommodation and aviation sectors—likely due to its labor-intensive structure and direct consumer engagement. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in accommodation and aviation sectors with lower ESG scores exhibit potential to improve financial health and employment through sustainable practices, whereas large firms capitalize on economies of scale to create a virtuous cycle of ESG integration and business expansion. …”

Study on the Microstructure, Mechanical Properties and Wear Performance of Nickel-Chromium-Based Alloy Coatings by DU Dianxi, RUI Shuju, YANG Xingbin

“…In order to enhance the mechanical and wear properties of the surface of 12Cr1MoV steel,a mixture of nickel-chromium alloy powder and nickel-coated tungsten carbide (WC) powder were utilized as raw materials.Laser cladding technology was employed to fabricate a nickelcoated WC nickel-chromium-based alloy coating on the surface of 12Cr1MoV steel.The microstructure, phase composition, mechanical properties and wear performance of the coating were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), microhardness testing, impact testing and wear testing machines for particle wear, erosive wear and frictional wear.The effects of varying amounts of nickelcoated WC on the microstructure, phase composition, microhardness, impact performance and resistance to erosive wear, abrasive wear and frictional wear of the coating were investigated.Results showed that the nickel-coated WC coating was characterized by a dense microstructure,with phases including (Ni,Cr) solid solution,Cr23C6,Fe3W3C,Fe6W6C and WC.As the content of nickel-coated WC was increased,the microstructure of the coating was refined,and simultaneous improvements in mechanical and wear properties were achieved.When the nickel-coated WC content reached 30%(mass fraction), the coating structure was dense and significantly refined, and the coating showed high hardness, toughness and wear resistance.The microhardness of the 30%nickel-coated WC coating was 760 HV, with an impact absorbed energy of 54.1 J, along with a low friction coefficient and excellent resistance to frictional wear.The mass loss due to erosive wear and abrasive wear was determined to be 1/28 and 1/48 of the substrate’s mass, respectively.The mechanical and wear properties of the 30%nickel-coated WC coating were found to surpass those of other coatings and the substrate.…”

Unmasking insider threats using a robust hybrid optimized generative pretrained neural network approach by P. Lavanya, H. Anila Glory, Manuj Aggarwal, V. S. Shankar Sriram

“…The proposed approach is composed of an Adabelief Wasserstein Generative Adversarial Network (ABWGAN) with Expected Hypervolume Improvement (EHI) of hyperparameter optimization for adversarial sample generation and an L2-Starting Point (L2-SP) regularized pretrained Attention Graph Convolutional Network (AGCN) to detect insiders in the network infrastructure. The structure of the proposed approach involves three phases: (1) Chebyshev Graph Laplacian Eigenmaps solver (CGLE) for selecting the user-designated samples by reducing the dimensionality of the data and Insider State clustering via Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise (IS-DBSCAN) (2) The EHI of multi-objective Bayesian optimization for optimizing the sensitive learning rate hyperparameter to ensure the stability of the Adabelief optimized WGAN and improve the quality of the generated adversarial samples. (3) The L2-SP regularization technique effectively fine-tunes the pretrained AGCN, which identifies the user behavioural pattern to detect the insiders. …”
