As one of the most powerful executive actions, rulemaking by U.S. federal agencies involves all three branches and governs many issue areas, but some rules are routine others highly consequential. We build a new rule universe composed nearly forty-thousand considered listed in Unified Agenda since Spring 1995 employ an item response model with 15 raters to generate integrated estimates signific...

impact of supply chain drivers on supply chain performance has no far been studied. in this research we want identifying supply chain drivers, classifying them and examining their relationship with iran's supply chain performance. this research has innovation in identifying and classifying drivers and examining relationship between drivers and supply chain performance we used bsc for assessing ...

Perceptual processes take time to unfold. Whether a person is processing a visual scene, identifying the category an object belongs to, or recognizing a word, cognitive processes involving competition across time occur. These ongoing competitive processes have been ignored in studies of learning. However, some forms of learning suggest that learning could occur while competition is ongoing, res...

Competition and collaboration are at the heart of multi-agent probabilistic spreading processes. The battle on public opinion competitive marketing campaigns typical examples former, while joint spread multiple diseases such as HIV tuberculosis demonstrates latter. These spreads influenced by underlying network topology, infection rates between constituents, recovery and, equally importantly, i...

We analyze applications of biform games to linear production (LP) and sequencing processes. Biform games, as introduced by Brandenburger Stuart (2007), apply problems in which strategic decisions are followed some cooperative game, where the specific environment game that is played, turn determined these decisions. extend work on LP-processes allowing firms compete for resources scarce or hard ...

A competition process is a continuous time Markov chain that can be interpreted as system of interacting birth-and-death processes, the components which evolve subject to competitive interaction. This paper devoted study long-term behaviour such process, where component increases with linear birth rate and decreases given by function other components. zero an absorbing state for each component,...
