This paper presents synthetically some recent developments in the theory of coalition and network formation. For this purpose, some major equilibrium concepts recently introduced to model the formation of coalition structures and networks among players are brie‡y reviewed and discussed. A few economic applications are also illustrated to give a ‡avour of the type of predictions such models are ...

I survey the recent literature on the formation of networks. I provide definitions of network games, a number of examples of models from the literature, and discuss some of what is known about the (in)compatibility of overall societal welfare with individual incentives to form and sever links.

objective(s): recently we reported that the soybean 15-lipoxygenase (slo) inhibitory activity of pyrimido[4,5-b][l,4]benzothiazines largely depends on the orientation of sulfur atom of thiazine core towards feiii-oh in the active site pocket of the enzyme with subsequent oxidation of sulfur to sulfoxide. in this paper the results of a comparative study on the slo inhibitory activities of the me...

budding is a good method of propagation in the persian walnut (juglans regia l.)., however, success of budding is low due to higher root pressure as well as the presence of phenolic compounds in the xylem sap. this study was conducted to compare various budding methods and cut below budding :union: on two and three-year-old persian walnut under field conditions. the experiment was conducted bas...

the role of nickel as catalyst on the conversion of methane and ethylene in a gas phase flow reactor in the absence of oxygen is studied. in this study, nickel in its different forms is used as catalyst. the role of pressure, flow rate, and temperature on the conversion of feed gases is investigated. the experiments have been carried out in the presence and absence of the catalysts to measure t...
