[1] We measured the dC of assimilated carbon (foliage organic matter (dCOM), soluble carbohydrates (dCSC), and waxes (dCW)) and respiratory carbon (foliage (dCFR), soil (dCSR) and ecosystem CO2 (dCER)) for two years at adjacent ecosystems in the southeastern U.S.: a regenerated 32 m tall mature Pinus palustris forest, and a mid-rotation 13 m tall Pinus elliottii stand. Carbon pools and foliage ...

Cost function based routing has been widely studied in wireless sensor networks for energy efficiency improvement and network lifetime elongation. However, due to the complexity of the problem, existing solutions have various limitations. In this paper, we analyze the inherent factors, design principles and evaluation methods for cost function based routing algorithms. Two energy aware cost bas...

The model rules in the Draft Common Frame of Reference (DCFR), as any other body of legal rules, in force or simply proposed, naturally have the intention of affecting, in the desired direction, the behavior of the relevant parties subject to them. Thus, it seems, at least prima facie, wise to consider the tools in our possession in order to get some estimate of how the latter would likely resp...

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background Low grade inflammation is involved in pathogenesis ischemia and outcome coronary artery disease (CAD). Dobutamine stress echo (DSE) flow reserve (CFR) are both related with incident CAD respective as well. Purpose To evaluate the potential relationship between inflammation, evaluated by high-sensitivity C-reactive prote...
