-A laboratory study of the hydraulic conductivity (HC) of a marine clay with monovalent, divalent and trivalent cations revealed large differences in HC. The exchangeable cations employed in this study are Na, K, NH4, Mg, Ca and AI in order of increasing valency. An interpretation of the results derived from consolidation tests suggests that HC is significantly affected by the valency and size ...

The main contribution of this thesis is a new solution concept for symmetric games (of complete information in strategic form), the exchangeable equilibrium. This is an intermediate notion between symmetric Nash and symmetric correlated equilibrium. While a variety of weaker solution concepts than correlated equilibrium and a variety of refinements of Nash equilibrium are known, there is little...

Three different approaches have been used to characterize the state of exchanged copper ions in copper-ion-exchanged MFI (CuMFI) samples. (1) Two types of an ion-exchangeable site with different adsorption properties for N(2) or CO molecules were identified depending on the pre-treatment temperature (723 or 873 K) of a sample prepared by using an aqueous solution of CuCl(2). (2) The state of th...

In this paper, we consider the reliability of k-out-of-n: F systems and its conditional form with exchangeable components in the stress-strength setup. We assume a random stress common to all the components in the system level. Applications of these results to illustrate the reliability for the system consisting of three components with the multivariate FGM and multivariate Marshall-Olkin distr...
