A group of heterogenous agents may form partnerships in pairs. All single agents as well as all partnerships generate values. If two agents choose to cooperate, they need to specify how to split their joint value among one another. In equilibrium, which may or may not exist, no agents have incentives to break up or form new partnerships. This paper proposes a dynamic competitive adjustment proc...

The analysis of evoked potentials of sensorimotor cortex in response to electrical stimulation of n. ischiadicus shows that the extremal factor hypokinesia has a negative impact on the dynamics of formation of amplitudal and temporal characteristics since eyes openning in 2-weeks old rats. The most vulnerable process to the impact of hypokinesia is the first-positive phase, which disappears in ...

In the present work, we consider spectrally positive Lévy processes (Xt, t ≥ 0) not drifting to +∞ and we are interested in conditioning these processes to reach arbitrarily large heights (in the sense of the height process associated with X) before hitting 0. This way we obtain a new conditioning of Lévy processes to stay positive. The (honest) law Px of this conditioned process is defined as ...

Formation of stray grain defects particularly around re-entrant features of the turbine blade airfoils is one of the major problems in directional and single crystal solidification processes. In this work, directional solidification tests of the GTD-111 Ni-based superalloy were conducted at different withdrawal velocities of 3, 6 and 9 mm.min-1 using various stepped cylindrical and cubic design...

a newly developed heavy duty diesel engine in dual fuel mode of operation has been studied in detail. the main fuel would be natural gas and diesel oil as pilot injection. the importance and effects of mixture preparation and formation through ports, valves and in cylinder flow field with different swirl ratio and tumble on diesel combustion phenomena is an accepted feature which has been studi...

acrylamide as a possible carcinogenic compound is known to produce in heated carbohydrate-rich food such as bread. in this study, the effect of the fermentation process by four lactic acid bacteria (lab) and yeaston an industrial scale, was studied on acrylamide reduction in bread. results showed that the flour specifications and the kind of microorganisms in the fermentation process are import...
