Nonprofit organizations are critical actors in the Sustainable Development Goals as they provide a wide range of social services to community and contribute creating sustainable future. They must compete for funding or government contracts by showing high performance. Among top factors influencing performance is capacity, it has received considerable attention public nonprofit literature. Capac...

We study Nash equilibria for a sequence of symmetric N-player stochastic games finite-fuel capacity expansion with singular controls and their mean-field game (MFG) counterpart. construct solution the MFG via simple iterative scheme that produces an optimal control in terms Skorokhod reflection at (state-dependent) surface splits state space into action inaction regions. then show induces appro...

The heat capacity Cp of an array of independent aluminum rings has been measured under an external magnetic field ~ H using highly sensitive ac-calorimetry based on a silicon membrane sensor. Each superconducting vortex entrance induces a phase transition and a heat capacity jump and hence Cp oscillates with ~ H . This oscillatory and non-stationary behaviour measured versus the magnetic field ...

There is currently no consensus on whether the difference between field-dependent and field-independent subjects on tasks of cognitive abilities result from different mental processing strategies, from true group differences in cognitive ability, or from both. School-age children (N = 239) were tested for field dependence/independence using the Children's Embedded Figures Test and for mental-at...

in order to investigate the effects of different irrigation regimes and zeolit on the yield, yield componentsand relative leaf water content of sorghum, a field experiment was conducted in split plot in time andspace based on randomized complete block design with three replicates in research station of shahidbahonar university of kerman in 2011. irrigation regimes (100, 80, 60 and 40% of field ...
