Networks can affect a group’s ability to solve a coordination problem. We utilize laboratory experiments to study the conditions under which groups of subjects can solve coordination games. We investigate a variety of different network structures, and we also investigate coordination games with symmetric and asymmetric payoffs. Our results show that network connections facilitate coordination i...

The existing forms of Fe are of great interest since they have a profound effect on the biological availability of Fe. In this work, aerosol samples collected in different seasons and at different locations in the Qingdao region were examined by means of extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) K-edge analysis of Fe, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fe content analysis. The results showed th...

interorganizational coordination (ioc) is a critical part of planning, because planning mostly involves multiple organizational interactions. investment and employment are considered as multi-dimensional and multi-sectional challenges that the management of them requires intersectional and interorganizational cooperation. the goal of this research is the investigation of the interorganizational...

Molecular dynamics simulations of Cm(III) in water were performed at two different temperatures, namely, T = 300 K and T = 473 K. Fully ab initio intermolecular potentials were employed. At the lower temperature, T = 300 K, nine water molecules coordinate preferentially the Cm(III) ion in the first coordination sphere, while at the higher temperature, T = 473 K, the preferential coordination nu...

Coordination infrastructures play a central role in the engineering of multiagent systems. Since the advent of agent technology, research on coordination infrastructures has produced a significant number of infrastructures with varying features. In this paper, we review the the state of the art coordination infrastructures with the purpose of identifying open research challenges that next gener...

The complexity of services and products has driven organizations to utilize programs to manage different kinds of development tasks that are far too complicated to be organized through single projects. In the multi-project organizing frame, coordination between the participating actors is one of the key factors that distinguish successful programs from unsuccessful ones. This dissertation focus...

Objective(s): The present study aims at examining the motor coordination performance, serum and cerebellar estrogen, as well as ERβ levels, of ovariectomized rats (as menopausal model) following regular exercise. Materials and Methods:Ten female Sprague Dawley ratsaged 12 weeks old were randomly divided into two groups; all of which underwent ovariectomy. The first group was treated with regula...

Ti K-edge XANES spectra have been collected on a series of Ti-bearing silicate glasses with metasilicate and tetrasilicate compositions. The intensity of the preedge feature in these spectra has been found to change with glass composition and varies from 29 to 58% (normalized intensity) suggesting a variation in structural environent around the absorbing atom. The pre-edge peak intensity increa...

Quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) Car-Parrinello simulations were performed to estimate the coordination numbers of K(+) and Na(+) ions in the selectivity filter of the KcsA channel, and in water. At the DFT/BLYP level, K(+) ions were found to display an average coordination number of 6.6 in the filter, and 6.2 in water. Na(+) ions displayed an average coordination number of 5.2 in ...
