This paper demonstrates the equivalence between sets of linear inequalities and a variety of social choice problems, a fact which permits the solution of the problems using linear programming techniques. An important advantage of this approach is that the primal solution of the linear...

Five different methods of determining sap flow (SF), three based on heat pulse (compensation heat pulse, New Zealand--cHP-NZ; compensation heat pulse, Greenspan/Australia--cHP-G (South oriented), and cHP-G-EW (East and West oriented, average); non-compensation heat pulse, Ariel/Israel--ncHP),...
