the water relations play a fundamental role in seed comprehension of biology. in order to describe the process of drying and the effect on water activity, which controls biological change in storage, a sound knowledge of the relationship between equilibrium moisture content (emc) and water activity/equilibrium relative humidity (erh) is essential. the relationship between the total moisture con...

Players in a congestion game may differ from one another in their intrinsic preferences (e.g., the benefit they get from using a specific resource), their contribution to congestion, or both. In many cases of interest, intrinsic preferences and the negative effect of congestion are (additively or multiplicatively) separable. This paper considers the implications of separability for the existenc...

Three new electrochromic ferrocenyl triarylmethylium dyes with fluorenylium (1 a+, 1 b+) or thioxanthylium c+) residues were selected in order to keep the intrinsic differences of redox potentials for ferrocene oxidation and reduction small trigger valence tautomerism (VT). UV/Vis/NIR quantitative EPR spectroscopy identified paramagnetic diradical isomers a..+–1 c..+ alongside diamagnetic forms...

This paper derives the Nash-equilibrium degrees of commitment to a partnership where lack of full commitment fuels suspicion and increases potential losses for partners. The Nash-equilibrium commitment of each partner increases with her internal return, quitting cost and costs of being deserted and with her counterpart's external return and intrinsic capacity to detect lack of full commitment, ...
