We develop an index of competitiveness and cooperativeness that is based on the primitives a normal-form game, i.e., players, strategies payoffs. The relies unique decomposition given game into zero-sum common interest game. decreases in distance to its part increases part. comparative statics our coincide with economic intuition. also supports experimental findings well-known classes games sen...

Traditional approach of estimating monopolization level uses Herfindahl-Hirshman and Ler...

Globalisation and increasing digitisation mean that companies must increasingly orientate themselves internationally in order to become (more) competitive or remain competitive. Promoting e-working can revitalise rural development. The issue involved is always interaction between people from different cultures, who, according their cultural backgrounds, feel, think act differently. When diversi...

Increased uncertainty in the trade environment has become a reality. However, so far, there is no well-established indicator system to quantify international competitiveness of forest products context increased environment. Based on expanding concept competitiveness, we constructed an evaluation including market performance and competitive advantage, which highlighted stability sustainability i...

Adult GH deficiency (GHD) is currently diagnosed in patients with either a history of childhood-onset GHD or acquired hypothalamic-pituitary disease by GH stimulation testing. However, GH stimulation tests are invasive, time consuming, and associated with side effects. Based on preliminary analyses of patients enrolled in the U.S. Hypopituitary Control and Complications Study (HypoCCS), we prop...

Traditional scheduling assumes that the processing time of a job is fixed. Yet there are numerous situations that the processing time increases (deteriorates) as the start time increases. In particular, lots of work has been devoted to jobs with simple linear deterioration. The processing time pj of job Jj is a simple linear function of its start time sj , precisely, pj = bjsj , where bj is the...

Competitive neural networks belong to a class of recurrent networks, and-they are based on algorithms of unsupervised learning, such as the competitive algorithm explained in this section. In competitive learning, the output neurons of a neural network compete among themselves to become active (to be "fired"). Whereas in multiplayer perceptrons several output neurons may be active simultaneousl...
