We study the solution concepts of partial cooperative Cournot-Nash equilibria and partial cooperative Stackelberg equilibria. The partial cooperative Cournot-Nash equilibrium is axiomatically characterized by using notions of rationality, consistency...
The digital transition is a challenge that developed countries are currently facing. The transition process is associated with different degrees of uncertainty, which are particularly relevant for changes that have to do with the provision of goods a...
This paper is a partial review of the literature on ‘social preferences'. There are empirical findings that convincingly demonstrate the existence of social preferences, but there are also studies that indicate their fragility. So how robust are soci...
Antibiotic resistance is an increasing concern in modern healthcare. Therefore, it is important to identify novel antimicrobial agents and new molecular targets for such compounds. Here, we describe the identification of an N-pyridylpyrazolone deriva...
This paper pioneers the introduction of nabla fractional calculus into distributed Nash equilibrium (NE) seeking for non-cooperative games (NGs), proposing several novel discrete-time fractional-order algorithms. We first develop a gradient play-base...
Behavioral factors (i.e., risk aversion and fairness concern) are considered for profit allocation in a closed-loop supply chain. This paper studies a two-echelon closed-loop supply chain (CLSC) consisting of a risk-neutral manufacturer, a risk-avers...
We review the key steps leading to an improved analysis of thermal protein unfolding. Thermal unfolding is a dynamic cooperative process with many short-lived intermediates. Protein unfolding has been measured by various spectroscopic techniques that...
Although the beneficial impact of Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) on the stabilization on farming income is undisputable, the distribution of benefits derived from the CAP between operators and regions gives rise to some controversy. The objective o...
Establishing equilibrium between business growth and environmental sustainability is one of the core focuses of green entrepreneurship. However, the scarcity of resources, ecological concerns, business growth, and survival are among the issues that a...
In recent years, the importance of advanced manufacturing in the innovation and sustainability of nations and regions has been demonstrated. Several studies have highlighted the need to maintain and build an advanced manufacturing-enterprise-innovati...
TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) forms intraneuronal cytoplasmic inclusions associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and ubiquitin-positive frontotemporal lobar degeneration. Its N-terminal domain (NTD) can dimerise/oligomerise with the head-...
In this study at the MP2/6-311++G(2df,pd)//B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level of quantum-mechanical theory it was explored conformational variety of the isolated quercetin molecule due to the mirror-symmetrical hindered turnings of the O3H, O5H and O7H hydrox...
