Power Use in Cooperative and Competitive Settings

Power Use in Cooperative and Competitive Settings VAN KNIPPENBERG, VAN KNIPPENBERG, WILKE POWER USE IN COOPERATION AND COMPETITION

In this study we argue that when powerholder and target operate in a cooperative context, the decision to use power is influenced by the motive to reach positive joint outcomes. When the context is competitive, the use of power is more dictated by the desire to gain positive outcomes at the expense of the target. Therefore, factors that are indicative of how to bring about positive outcomes for...

Ideomotor action in cooperative and competitive settings.

Ideomotor movements may arise in observers while they watch other people's actions. Previous studies have shown that ideomotor movements are guided by both perceptual and intentional characteristics of the actions being observed (perceptual induction and intentional induction, respectively; cf. Knuf, Aschersleben, & Prinz, 2001; de Maeght & Prinz, 2004). In the present study we explore the func...

Power Allocation In Cooperative Relay Channels

This paper concerns power allocation in relay-assisted wireless channels for two-hop transmission. First, the transmitter sends the information to both the relay and receiver parts. Next, in the second hop, the transmitter cooperates with the relay to increase the received signal to noise ratio (SNR), assuming the relay makes use of the Amplify and Forward (AF) strategy. Moreover, it is assumed...

Optimal Location and Parameter Settings of UPFC Device in Transmission System based on Imperialistic Competitive Algorithm

In this paper, we present a new method to determine the optimal location and parameter settings of UnifiedPower Flow Controller (UPFC) for removing voltage violations and transmission lines overloading. UPFC isconsidered as the most powerful member of the FACTS devices, that it can control shunt and series power flow.This option gives to UPFC the power to control the voltage profile and transmi...
