Given non-degenerate intervals X of R and an increasing ordered mapping Φ : X × · · · ×X → R , games in strategic form between N players with the X as action sets with the following three properties are studied: the set of Nash equilibria E is convex, Φ is constant on E and in each Nash equilibrium at least one payoff function is not partially differentiable w.r.t. its own action. The results a...

This paper introduces quasi-aggregative games and establishes conditions under which such games admit a best-reply potential. This implies existence of a pure strategy Nash equilibrium without any convexity or quasi-concavity assumptions. It also implies convergence of best-reply dynamics under some additional assumptions. Most of the existing literature’s aggregation concepts are special cases...

Numerical resolution of two-stream kinetic models in strong aggregative setting is considered. To illustrate our approach, we consider an 1D kinetic model for chemotaxis in hydrodynamic scaling and the high field limit of the Vlasov-Poisson-Fokker-Planck system. A difficulty is that, in this aggregative setting, weak solutions of the limiting model blow up in finite time, therefore the scheme s...

background: despite the effectiveness of drug therapy in diabetes management high rates of poor adherence persist. the purpose of this study was to determine the factors influencing the medication adherence and dietary regiment in type2 diabetic patients. methods: this cross sectional study was conducted on 300 type2 diabetic patients referred to general internal medicine clinic, yazd shohdaye ...

Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) bacteria are exceptional colonizers that are associated with diarrhea. The genome of EAEC strain 042, a diarrheal pathogen validated in a human challenge study, encodes multiple colonization factors. Notable among them are aggregative adherence fimbriae (AAF/II) and a secreted antiaggregation protein (Aap). Deletion of aap is known to increase adherence...

Hydrodynamic behavior of aggregative fluidized beds has been studied and a model proposed for the prediction of different characteristics of fluidized beds. According to this model, a computer program is prepared and the hydrodynamic behavior of some industrial units has been simulated.
