Wireless sensor network (WSN) scalability and energy-efficiency issues remain an interesting research problem. This paper presents a multiple-sink deployment scheme for large-scale WSNs. An 8-rings Corona style sensor network is regarded as a Corona Sensor Cell (CSC) based on coarse-grain location awareness for energy-efficiency consideration. The overall task includes nodes training and data d...

The world’s ocean and land ecosystems act as sinks for anthropogenic CO2, and over the last half century their combined sink strength grew steadily with increasing CO2 emissions. Recent analyses of the global carbon budget, however, have uncovered an abrupt, substantial (∼ 1 PgC yr) and sustained increase in the land sink in the late 1980s whose origin remains unclear. In the absence of this pr...

An analysis of the effect of orientation on the heat transfer in a scaled model pin fin heat sink utilized in Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting has been carried out using numerical method. The present study involves natural convective heat transfer that takes place in particular heat sink. A pin fin type heat sink has been studied since they are widely used in LED lighting systems which in tu...

Adding sand grains at a single site in Abelian sandpile models produces beautiful but complex patterns. We study the effect of sink sites on such patterns. Sinks change the scaling of the diameter of the pattern with the number N of sand grains added. For example, in two dimensions, in presence of a sink site, the diameter of the pattern grows as √ (N/ logN) for large N , whereas it grows as √ ...

In wireless sensor network, abusing or mishandling the sink mobility or portability has been considered as a better technique to modify the center points or hubs vitality dispersal. Disregarding its different great circumstances, the data disseminating to the compact sink is a trying task for the benefit obliged sensor center points as a result of the component framework topology made by the si...

Source-sink dynamics are commonly thought to occur among Wood Thrush (Hylocichla mustelina) and other songbird populations, allowing for the persistence of populations with negative growth rates ("sinks") through immigration from populations with positive growth rates ("sources"). Knowledge of source-sink dynamics is important for management and conservation because the removal of source habita...

Mechanisms that allow plants to cope with a recurrent surplus of carbon in conditions of imbalance between source and sink activity has not received much attention. The response of sink growth and metabolism to the modulation of source activity was investigated using elevated CO(2) and elevated O(3) growth conditions in Erythronium americanum. Sink activity was monitored via slice and mitochond...

At present, many researchers concentrate on the researches of sink mobility and propose a lot of efficient data harvesting algorithms for wireless sensor networks (WSNs). In general, these algorithms mainly formulate their ideas in two ways, namely path-controllable and path-constrained sink mobility. In most application scenarios of WSNs, mobile sink is path-constrained and a big challenge of ...

Due to resource constraint nature of sensor nodes, the network suffers by computation and security problems. These nodes create a wireless sensor network that used sink stable or mobile as per required applications. Therefore, various traditional security techniques of the traditional networks are not possible to be applied on this network. To overcome the security problem in this ad-hoc or wir...

While batteries offer electronic source and sink for electronic devices, atomic analogues of source and sink and their theoretical descriptions have been a challenge in cold-atom systems. Here we consider dynamically emerged local potentials as controllable source and sink for bosonic atoms. Although a sink potential can collect bosons in equilibrium and indicate its usefulness in the adiabatic...
