W characterize the equilibrium behavior in a broad class of competition models in which the competing firms’ market shares are given by an attraction model, and the aggregate sales in the industry depend on the aggregate attraction value according to a general function. Each firm’s revenues and costs are proportional with its expected sales volume, with a cost rate that depends on the firm’s ch...

Campi Flegrei is a large volcanic complex located west of the city of Naples, Italy. The area has been the site of volcanic activity for more than 60 ka and represents a potential volcanic hazard owing to the large local population. In this study, the geochemistry of the magma associated with two different eruptions at Campi Flegrei has been characterized, with the aim to identify geochemical t...

activity of biohybrid coatings of atrazine-degrading bacteria Pseudomonas sp. ADP" (2014). The atrazine-degrading bacterial strain Pseudomonas sp. ADP was immobilized by the sol–gel process within thin silica layers coated onto water-retaining carrier materials (expanded clay pellets and scoria). The performance of the obtained biohybrid material has been investigated concerning long-term activ...

U.S. Department of the Interior U.S. Geological Survey Wheeler Geologic Monument (Half Moon Pass quadrangle) provides exceptional exposures of three outflow tuff sheets erupted from the San Luis caldera complex. Lowest sheet is Rat Creek Tuff, which is nonwelded throughout but grades upward from light-tan rhyolite (~74% SiO 2 ) into pale brown dacite (~66% SiO 2 ) that contains sparse dark-brow...

aggregate stability is an important soil property because it dictates how strongly a soil can resist water erosion. the objectives in this study were: (1) to compare the stability of six soil aggregate size fractions, primarily to determine if aggregate stability varies with aggregate size, and (2) to determine with which aggregate size fraction the stability of most soils would be different fr...
