Consistency between an allometric approach and optimal partitioning theory in global patterns of plant biomass allocation [PDF]
Summary Optimal partitioning theory (OPT) suggests that plants should allocate biomass to the organ that acquires the most limiting resource. An implied assumption of this is that there are trade‐offs in allocation between leaf, stem and root functions.

Nitrogen (N) is one of the limiting nutrients for plant growth and metabolism in terrestrial ecosystems. Numerous studies have explored the effects of N addition on the eco-physiological traits and biomass production of plants, but the underlying mechanism of how N deposition influences biomass allocation patterns remains controversial, especially for ...

Asymmetric response of above- and below ground biomass of C3- and C4-dominated grasslands to aridity
Assessing the dynamics of grassland functioning is critical for gaining an understanding of their feedback on rising aridity. In attempting to understand the response of grassland ecosystem functioning to aridity, the (i) relationships between biomass ...

Multireference perturbation theory with optimized partitioning. II. Applications to molecular systems [PDF]
AbstractThe second‐order multireference perturbation theory using an optimized partitioning, denoted as MROPT(2), is applied to calculations of various molecular properties—excitation energies, spectroscopic parameters, and potential energy curves—for five molecules: ethylene, butadiene, benzene, N2, and O2.

An optimal two-stage distribution of material flow at the fuel and energy complex enterprises [PDF]
The two-stage distributing of material flows in the transport-logistics system of fuel and energy complex is considered. The structural elements of such system are mines (centers of the first stage), extracting coal from various mineral deposits in a ...

Partitioning of Reproduction in Mother-Daughter Versus Sibling Associations: A Test of Optimal Skew Theory [PDF]
A critical feature of cooperative animal societies is the reproductive skew, a short-hand term for the degree to which a dominant individual monopolizes overall reproduction in the group. Our theoretical analysis of the evolutionarily stable skew in matrifilial (i.e., mother-daughter) societies, in which relatednesses to offspring are asymmetrical ...

The paper substantiates the possibility of applying the mathematical theory of continuous problems of optimal partitioning of sets of n-dimensional Euclidean space, which belong to the non-classical problems of infinite-dimensional mathematical programming, to the solution of problems of artificial intelligence and pattern recognition.

Modeling the Optimal Coalition Structure Using the Core Solution Concept [PDF]
Coalition formation is an important step towards developing the social welfare by improving the performance. This is pursued in two main research streams: (i) algorithmic approaches to achieve the optimal coalition structure and (ii) cooperative game ...
