We study multiple agents along a general river structure that is expressed by a geography matrix and who have access to limited local resources, quasi-linear preferences over water and money and cost functions dependent upon river inflow and own extraction. Unanimity bargaining determines the water allocation and monetary transfers. We translate International Water Law into either disagreement ...

Using real options game models, we consider the characterization of strategic equilibria associated with an asymmetric R&D race between an incumbent firm and an entrant firm in the development of a new substitute product under market and technological uncertainties. The random arrival time of the discovery of the patent protected innovative product is modeled as a Poisson process. Input spillov...

We use molecular dynamics simulations to examine the possibility of rolling nanorods on the surfaces of polar liquids. Asymmetric charging of nanorod surfaces, generated by light excitation of its photoactive hydrophobic surfactants, can induce asymmetric Coulombic coupling to the polar liquid surfaces. We demonstrate that under this driving nanorods with diameters of 3-10 nm can roll on water ...
