We focus on minimum cost spanning tree problems (mcstps) where agents need to be connected with a source directly or indirectly through other agents with the minimum cost. Mcstps have been studied as cooperative games, where all of agents cooperate to construct a minimum cost spanning tree (mcst), and share the cost of the mcst. There actually exist situations where some coalitions of agents ar...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of eccentric exercise on anaerobic power, starting speed and anaerobic endurance. The participants performed the maximum cycling sprint test (MCST) prior to eccentric exercise (ECC), 10 minutes after, as well as one hour, 24 hours, 48 hours, and one week after ECC. The peak and mean power, time to attain peak power, time of maintaining peak powe...

The minimum cost spanning tree game (mcst-game) is a well-known model within operations research games that has been widely studied in the literature. In this paper we introduce the multi-criteria version of the mcst-game as a setvalued TU-game. We prove that the extension of Bird s cost allocation rule provides dominance core elements in this game. We also give a family of core solutions that ...

To assess categorizing ability, we propose a new scoring criterion for the MCST, the "categorizing efficiency", taking into account the number of cards used by the subject to complete a maximum of six categories. The advantage of adding that parameter to traditional ones is evaluated in a small population of normal children and adults and those affected with pathologies.

The prefrontostriatal network is considered to play a key role in executive functions. Previous neuroimaging studies have shown that executive processes tested with card-sorting tasks requiring planning and set-shifting [e.g. Montreal-card-sorting-task (MCST)] may engage the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) while inducing dopamine release in the striatum. However, functional imaging studi...

Minimum cost spanning tree (mcst) problems study situations in which agents must connect to a source obtain good, with the of building an edge being independent number users. We reinterpret mcst as value sharing problems, and show that folk cycle-complete solutions, two most studied cost-sharing solutions for do not share values consistent way. More precisely, yielding same problem might lead s...

This work presents the results of partial substitution Portland cement (PC) by natural fluorite (NF) and calcined (CF) in mortars, at 10%, 25% 40%. To meet these objectives, a sample was initially studied XRD, SEM Raman Spectroscopy (RS). A chemical quality analysis (CQA) pozzolanicity test (CPT) 8 15 days were carried out second stage to establish pozzolanic properties investigated sample. Fin...

INTRODUCTION Individuals with dyslexia exhibit associated learning deficits and impaired executive functions. The Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) is a learning-based task that relies heavily on executive functioning, in particular, attention shift and working memory. Performance during early and late phases of a series within the task represents learning and implementation of a newly learned...

Minimal cost spanning tree problems connect agents efficiently to a source when agents are located at different points and the cost of using an edge is fixed. We propose a method, based on the concept of marginal games, to generate all extreme points of the corresponding core. We show that three of the most famous solutions to share the cost of mcst problems, the Bird, folk and cycle-complete s...

interesting manner, that one gains pleasure as well as profit from reading them. Those who are not already acquainted with .the author's views should procure this book, which presents them mcst lucidly, and at moderate length. Professor Janet's work has done much to elucidate hysteria by a process of analysis of the psychical phenomena which lie at its root. We may remind our readers that accor...
