Gibberellins (GAs) are plant growth regulators that are known to stimulate physiological responses in plants and alter the source–sink metabolism through their effect on photosynthesis and sink formation. GAs promote fructose-1,6-biphosphatase and sucrose phosphate synthase and stimulate phloem loading. Photosynthate translocation from source to the developing sink is a major contributing facto...

The specific heat of YbNi4Si has been analyzed considering the electronic contribution and the lattice contributions in frames of the Debye model. Based on the specific heat measurements, the electronic specific heat coefficient γ = 25 mJ mol−1 K−2 and the Debye temperature θD = 320 K were derived. This small value shows that YbNi4Si cannot be classified as a heavy fermion system. These studies...

Impedance-based temperature detection (ITD) is a promising approach for rapid estimation of internal cell temperature based on the correlation between temperature and electrochemical impedance. Previously, ITD was used as part of an Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) state-estimator in conjunction with a thermal model to enable estimation of the 1-D temperature distribution of a cylindrical lithium-i...

A unique sink orientation (USO) is an orientation of the n-dimensional cube graph (n-cube) such that every face (subcube) has a unique sink. The number of unique sink orientations is nΘ(2 n) [13]. If a cube orientation is not a USO, it contains a pseudo unique sink orientation (PUSO): an orientation of some subcube such that every proper face of it has a unique sink, but the subcube itself hasn...

in order to investigate the contribution of ear photosynthesis and cytokinin in determining grain sink size, a pot study was conducted during january to june 2005 in cereal glasshouse of faculty of agriculture of karaj, iran. experiment was conducted in a complete randomized design with a factorial arrangement of two factors, three replications and four pots in each plot. factors included culti...

Mass loss appears to be a common phenomenon among disk-accreting astrophysical systems. An outflow emanating from an accretion disk can act as a sink for mass, angular momentum and energy and can therefore alter the dissipation rates and effective temperatures across the disk. Here, the radial distributions of dissipation rate and effective temperature across a Keplerian, steady-state, mass-los...

Sensor networks exhibit a unique funneling effect which is a product of the distinctive many-to-one, hop-by-hop traffic pattern found in sensor networks, and results in a significant increase in transit traffic intensity, collision, congestion, packet loss, and energy drain as events move closer toward the sink. While network (e.g., congestion control) and application techniques (e.g., aggregat...
