"THE ENCRYPTED VIRUS conceals its presence by encrypting the bulk of its viral logic. When an infected program is launched, the virus usurps control of the system and then uses a simple decryption subroutine to decrypt the rest of the encrypted viral logic, thus the virus’ logic is only visible when it is actively running, but never when it is stored on the disk in an infected file."

DOWNSTREAM EFFECTS. "The multiple effects of light on the timing mechanism are important determinants of photoperiodic responses as they serve to set the phase of the photoperiodic-response rhythm. Yet they must be distinguished from separate effects of light mediating the floral response downstream of the clock." https://lnkd.in/d_f7kfY View in LinkedIn

LIMITED OS CHOICES. "You can only get a limited amount of diversity by using two operating systems, or routers from three vendors. South American potato diversity comes from hundreds of different varieties. Genetic diversity comes from millions of different genomes." https://lnkd.in/dvZvf8T View in LinkedIn

FRAGMENT FROM NATURE deals with plant photo-reception and the all-important control of flowering, which is critical for the successful reproduction of the species. Light plays an enormously important role in the clocks of most species, and conveniently varies in duration according to the season. However, even the periodicity of the sun is more complicated than that, affected by the atmosphere, clouds, and geography; and creatures have found ways to work around these variables. https://lnkd.in/dE5CVvG View in LinkedIn

OS MONOCULTURE. "If everyone is using the same operating system or the same applications software or the same networking protocol, and a security vulnerability is discovered in that OS or software or protocol, a single exploit can affect everyone. This is the problem of large-scale Internet worms: many have affected millions of computers on the Internet." https://lnkd.in/dvZvf8T View in LinkedIn

LEAF GRAFT EXPERIMENTS. "It was proposed by Chailakhyan (1936) more than half a century ago that the signal passing between leaves and response sites is a specific flowering hormone: florigen. This idea was based on a series of experiments showing that grafting of leaves from one donor species to a separate receptor species could cause flowering. This strongly suggested the participation of common signals in different species." https://lnkd.in/d_f7kfY View in LinkedIn

FLOWERING SIGNALS. "The role of a florigenic signal has also been confirmed and although its exact nature is still unknown, there are prospects of it being discovered in the foreseeable future. We can also soon expect to understand more fully the basis for the different requirements for light quantity and quality in different species." https://lnkd.in/d_f7kfY View in LinkedIn

"DOWNSTREAM of the clock, expression of the floral regulator CO is rhythmic under diurnal light– dark cycles. Light promotes expression of the CO mRNA at the end of a long day through the action of the rhythmically expressed photoreceptor FKF1. In addition, the circadian oscillator mediates light-independent expression of the CO mRNA at night." https://lnkd.in/d_f7kfY View in LinkedIn

"LIGHT RESETS THE CLOCK through at least two mechanisms, including transcriptional induction of LHY and CCA1 expression and light-induced degradation of the TOC1 protein. Effects of light on the clock are dampened at night through the action of the rhythmically expressed protein ELF3." https://lnkd.in/d_f7kfY View in LinkedIn

"PERCEPTION OF DAYLENGTH is mediated by an interaction of a light and a circadian rhythm. The timing mechanism of the clock is composed of multiple transcriptional–translational feedback loops, whose oscillations are entrained to diurnal light–dark cycles through the action of phytochrome and cryptochrome photoreceptors." https://lnkd.in/d_f7kfY View in LinkedIn
