1 Randomized Strategies or Mixed Strategies Consider a strategic form game: Γ = 〈N, (Si), (ui)〉. The elements of Si are called pure strategies of player i (i = 1, . . . , n). If player i chooses a strategy in Si according to a probability distribution, we have a mixed strategy or a randomized strategy. In the discussion that follows, we assume that Si is a finite for each i = 1, 2, . . . , n. D...

backgrounds the degree of microleakage is one of the main criteria in evaluating the restorative materials such as glass ionomer (gi) restoratives, which are available in two forms: loose powder and liquid form to be hand-mixed or pre-proportioned in a capsule to be mixed mechanically. objectives this study was conducted to compare the microleakage of encapsulated gi restoratives with their han...

Heterogeneous transfer learning has been proposed as a new learning strategy to improve performance in a target domain by leveraging data from other heterogeneous source domains where feature spaces can be different across different domains. In order to connect two different spaces, one common technique is to bridge feature spaces by using some co-occurrence data. For example, annotated images ...

This paper presents novel approaches for generating sequencing rules for the car sequencing (CS) problem in cases of two and multiple processing times per station. The CS problem decides on the succession of different car models launched down a mixed-model assembly line. It aims to avoid work overloads at the stations of the line by applying so-called sequencing rules, which restrict the maximu...

We present a general description of two mixed branes interactions. For this we consider two mixed branes with dimensions p1 and p2, in external field Bμν and arbitrary gauge fields A (1) α1 and A (2) α2 on the world volume of them, in spacetime in which some of its directions are compactified on circles with different radii. Some examples are considered to clear these general interactions. Fina...

Extended and networked enterprises distribute the design of products, planning of the production process, and manufacturing regionally if not globally. The usual face-to-face work is going to be replaced, at least partly, if not totally, by computer mediated collaboration. Awaited are reduced problems of resolution cycle time, increasing productivity and agility, and reduced travel to remote si...

Language abilities gradually decline as we age, but the mechanisms of this decline are not well understood. The present study investigated comprehension of subject vs. object who and which direct questions (DQs), embedded questions (EQs) and relative clauses (RCs) in 39 cognitively healthy native speakers of Spanish. The elderly participants (n = 21) were further classified according to their s...
