Climate, vegetation, and soil characteristics play important roles in regulating the spatial variation in carbon dioxide fluxes, but their relative influence is still uncertain. In this study, we compiled data from 241 eddy covariance flux sites in the Northern Hemisphere and used Classification and Regression Trees and Redundancy Analysis to assess how climate, vegetation, and soil affect the ...

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) incorporate smart antennas for information propagation to offer connected coverage with reduced interference. This paper presents an omni directional antenna assisted scheme for WSNs to reduce network redundancy besides offering connected coverage. The directivity of an omni directional antenna outfitted on a sink node is exploited to reduce network redundancy an...

Association rule mining is known to be computationally intensive, yet real-time decisionmaking applications are increasingly intolerant to delays. The state-of-the-art PARAS 1 solution, a parameter space framework for online association mining, enables efficient rule mining by compactly indexing the final ruleset and providing efficient query-time redundancy resolution. Unfortunately, as many a...

One of the primary concerns in any system design problem is to prepare a highly reliable system with minimum cost. One way to increase the reliability of systems is to use redundancy in different forms such as active or standby. In this paper, a new nonlinear multi- objective integer programming model with the choice of redundancy strategy and component type is developed where standby strategy ...

The influence of solar/geomagnetic activity on climate variables still remains a fully unclarified problem, although many scientific efforts have been made to better understand it. In order bring more information this open in the present study, we analyze connection between (predictors) and (predictands) by applying elements from theory wavelet transform analysis. solar was highlighted Wolf num...

In this paper we propose a method to convert the local variations of refractive index into local changes of one surface of the lens, which then can then be described as a free-form surface, easy to introduce in conventional simulation tools. The proposed method tries to provide an equivalent model of the lens with refractive index variations where the index changes have been replaced for local ...

Two variations of an algorithm by Alan Day for reducing a list of implications regarding redundancy are given, with a new simple justification. All three algorithms have the property that the list can be reduced in place -at no extra memory costthat will be useful for large applications and databases.

We used a recently proposed graph index to investigate connectivity redundancy in resting state MEG recordings. Usually, brain network analyses consider indexes linked to the shortest paths between cerebral regions. However, important information might be lost about alternative trails by neglecting longer pathways. We measured the redundancy of the connectivity by considering the multiple paths...
