Abstract: The present invention provides methods of increasing nitrogen utilization efficiency (NUE) in a transgenic plant comprising the introduction of a nucleic acid encoding a dep1 polypeptide into a plant to produce a transgenic plant that expresses the nucleic acid to produce the dep1 polypeptide, thereby resulting in an increased NUE as compared with a control plant. Also provided are methods of increasing NUE in a plant comprising reducing the amount and/or activity of a DEP1 polypeptide.

Abstract: A method for predicting a network attack action, including: monitoring a network status parameter and obtaining information of an attack action according to a change of the network status parameter; selecting a subsequent attack action which has a most possibility to happen from a plurality of subsequent attack actions of the attack action according to a correspondence between the attack action and the plurality of subsequent attack actions, the subsequent attack action which has the most possibility to happen being a subsequent attack action with a largest occurrence number among the subsequent attack actions corresponding to the attack action; and outputting the subsequent attack action which has the most possibility to happen as a predicted network attack action. A device for predicting a network attack action including an attack action management unit is also provided.
