gummy bark disease of sweet orange (citrus sinensis) trees has been reported from a few citrus growing regions of the world. the disease symptoms consist of mild to severe stem pitting and brown gummy flecks in the bark of sweet orange trees on sour orange ( c. aurantium) rootstock, being conspicuous several centimeter above the bud :union: on the trunk. the pits were usually impregnated with b...

The problem of reconstructing the topology of a network, given a set of hop-by-hop traces of packet paths through it, is called ’network tracing’. Unfortunately, there are only a few known classes of networks (trees and odd rings) that are traceable, i.e. that have the property that a unique network topology can be reconstructed from a trace set. Here, we suggest a property that may be the reas...

Information about local events are to be distributed by agents in a sensor network. The agents are sent out traveling hop-by-hop into random directions, leaving a path of information behind them in the nodes visited. An arbitrary node requesting for information also emits an agent traveling into a random direction. Though only a fraction of all nodes will contain the requested information the h...

Introduction: Although chronic ankle instability (CAI) is a condition characterized by numerous ankle sprains and the recurring sensation of ankle instability, which result in activity limitations and participation restrictions. Repetition based balance training protocols on type of the balance exercises may improve the deficits often associated with CAI. The objective of this study was to dete...

The open literature contains numerous studies of capacity bounds for an N-node wireless ad-hoc network but the number of cooperating nodes has generally been limited to two. In this paper, we present a simple time-share lower bound for such a network, but with two or more cooperating nodes. These results are then compared against our previous information theoretic upper bounds with hop-by-hop r...
