D. Nowak, K. Granat, B. Opyd, Wroclaw University of Technology, Department of Foundry Engineering and Automation, Wrocław, Poland In the paper, presented are results of a research on influence of compaction degree on dielectric properties of components of moulding sands. During recent years, intensive research works on possibilities of using microwave heating in foundry technique are carried-ou...

This article presents a BIE (Boundary Integral Equation) modeling that applies the technique of domain mapping (Shiah and Tan (1998) [12]) as well as MRM (Multiple Reciprocity Method (Nowak (1989) [10])) to treat the problem of 3D anisotropic heat conduction involving arbitrary volume heat source. By the domainmapping technique, the original function of the volume heat source is accordingly tra...

We study a class of discounted infinite horizon stochastic games with strategic complementarities. Using monotone operators on the space of values and strategies, we prove existence of a Stationary Markov Nash equilibrium under different set of assumptions than Curtat (1996), Amir (2002, 2005) or Nowak (2007) via constructive methods. In addition, we provide monotone comparative statics results...

The Letter presents a novel way to connect random walks, stochastic differential equations, and evolutionary game theory. We introduce a new concept of a potential function for discrete-space stochastic systems. It is based on a correspondence between one-dimensional stochastic differential equations and random walks, which may be exact not only in the continuous limit but also in finite-state ...

New federal water quality regulations regarding impaired waters and urban stormwater, alongside a growing need to reverse eutrophication of urban lakes, are creating demand to decrease nutrient export from urban landscapes, particularly lawns. We propose that Nowak et al.’s (2006) disproportionality framework could be used to target specific households likely to generate disproportionate levels...

To circumvent the problem of low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in event-related fMRI data, the fMRI experiment is typically designed to consist of repeated presentations of the stimulus and measurements of the response, allowing for subsequent averaging of the resulting data. Due to factors such as time limitation, subject motion, habituation, and fatigue, practical constraints on the number of r...

Hamilton’s theory of kin selection is the best-known framework for understanding the evolution of social behavior but has long been a source of controversy in evolutionary biology. A recent critique of the theory by Nowak, Tarnita, and Wilson sparked a new round of debate, which shows no signs of abating. In this overview, we highlight a number of conceptual issues that lie at the heart of the ...
