To effectively localise a source node in a dense wireless tiny-sensor network with an arbitrary 2D/3D node distribution, a novel approach suitable to describe the hop progress of source-to-sink path in such a system is proposed. In this approach, the network topology is described as a regular lattice and relates the statistical parameters of the hop count in the source-to-sink propagation path ...

An experimental and modelling study of source-sink interactions in Vitis vinifera L., cv. Cabernet Sauvignon, rooted cuttings under non-limiting environmental conditions with a 12 h photoperiod is presented here. After 4 h, measured photosynthesis, stomatal conductance and leaf carbohydrate content reached maximum values. Over the remainder of the photoperiod, photosynthesis and stomatal conduc...

The input to an inverse shortest path lengths problem (ISPL) consists of a graph G with arc weights, and a collection of source-sink pairs with prescribed distances that do not necessarily conform to the shortest path lengths in G. The goal is to modify the arc weights, subject to a penalty on the deviation from the given weights, so that the shortest path lengths are equal to the prescribed va...

• Species that exhibit adaptive plasticity alter their phenotypes in response to environmental conditions, thereby maximizing fitness in heterogeneous landscapes. However, under demographic source-sink dynamics, selection should favor traits that enhance fitness in the source habitat at the expense of fitness in the marginal habitat. Consistent with source-sink dynamics, the perennial blueberry...

There are many applications of max flow with capacities that depend on one or more parameters. Many these fall into the “Source-Sink Monotone” framework, a special case Topkis's monotonic optimization which implies parametric min cuts nested. When there is single parameter, this property number distinct linear in nodes, quite useful for constructing algorithms to identify all possible cuts. mul...
