Abstract:

In this paper, we investigate the problem of selective routing attack in wireless sensor networks by considering a novel threat, named the upstream-node effect, which limits the accuracy of the monitoring functions in deciding whether a monitored node is legitimate or malicious. To address this limitation, we propose a one-dimensional one-class classifier, named relaxed flow conservation constraint, as an intrusion detection scheme to counter the upstream node attack. Each node uses four types of relaxed flow conservation constraints to monitor all of its neighbors. Three constraints are appli

Abstract:

Geoelectrical methods can be part of early warning systems for landslide-prone hillslopes by giving estimates of the water content distribution. Structurally constrained inversions of geoelectrical data can improve the water content estimation by reducing the smoothness constraint along known lithological boundaries, which is especially important for landslides, as often layers with strongly divergent hydrological parameters and varying electrical signatures are present in landslides. However, any a priori information about those boundaries has an intrinsic uncertainty. A detailed synthetic st

Despite the scarcity of funding for species conservation programmes, estimation of the cost of threatened species programmes occurs in only a few countries. This paper examines the reasons for the lack of species programme cost estimates and the likely impacts of this on conservation management.

Differences between species in the costs of the programmes and the breakdown of the costs are highlighted. The estimated costs are compared with expected levels of exp

Abstract One of the greatest challenges to dual-Doppler retrieval of the vertical wind is the lack of low-level divergence information available to the mass conservation constraint. This study examines the impact of a vertical vorticity equation constraint on vertical velocity retrievals when radar observations are lacking near the ground. The analysis proceeds in a three-dimensional variational data assimilation (3DVAR) framework with the anelastic form of the vertical vorticity equation imposed along with traditional data, mass conservation, and smoothness constraints.

Abstract A recent analysis of evolutionary rates in >500 globular soluble enzymes revealed pervasive conservation gradients toward catalytic residues. By looking at amino acid preference profiles rather than evolutionary rates in the same data set, we quantified the effects of active sites on site-specific constraints for physicochemical traits. We found that conservation gradients respond to constraints for polarity, hydrophobicity, flexibility, rigidity and structure in ways consistent with fold polarity principles; while sites far from active sites seem to experience no physicochemical c

Conservation agriculture (CA) is an alternative technique to conventional resource-intensive farming.

Abstract Radio observation of the large-scale structure (LSS) of our Universe faces major challenges from foreground contamination, which is many orders of magnitude stronger than the cosmic signal. While other foreground removal techniques struggle with complex systematics, methods like foreground avoidance emerge as effective alternatives. However, this approach inevitably results in the loss of Fourier modes and a reduction in cosmological constraints. We present a novel method that, by enforcing the non-negativity of the observed field in real space, allows us to recover some of the lost i
