We study a local version of the Minority Game, where agents are placed on the nodes of a directed graph. Agents care about being in the minority of the group of agents they are currently linked to and employ myopic best-reply rules to choose their next-period state. We show that, in this benchmark case, the smaller the size of local networks, the larger long-run population-average payoffs. We t...

Pinus halepensis Mill. is a Mediterranean pioneer forest species with shade intolerance features. The 15 purpose of this study is to better understand how stand fertility and allelopathic properties of adult trees influence 16 shade acclimation of saplings. Crown growth and morphological plasticity were studied under different light, 17 fertilization, and allelopathic conditions in a nursery ex...

This study compared the effect of 2 specific cervical flexor muscle exercise protocols on immediate pain relief in the cervical spine of people with chronic neck pain. In addition, the study evaluated whether these exercise protocols elicited any systemic effects by studying sympathetic nervous system (SNS) function and pain at a location distant from the cervical spine. Participants were rando...
