A theoretical model nds a prominent middle-mover advantage in an openly sequential procedure. The equilibrium analysis also nds, both, a rstand last-mover disadvantage. These results provide general intuition about the underlying incentives in a sequential process. Additionally, examples are used to show how a sequential process can be manipulated to construct settings with, either, a rstor las...

This study presents a novel design and development of 280,000 m3 liquefied hydrogen tanker ship by implementing set 6 Flettner rotors as an assistance propulsion system in conjunction with combined-cycle gas turbine fuelled prime mover. The includes assessment the technical environmental aspects developed design. Furthermore, established method was applied to simulate LH2 different voyages cond...

Each generator is designed to create a certain amount of electricity. However, there are situations when the cannot handle current load. The solution employ two or more generators produce as much power number operating simultaneously synchronizing (parallel generator). Several parameters must be configured throughout synchronization process, including phase sequence, voltage, frequency, and ang...

Previous Perspectives in the Journal of General Physiology have considered (a) the different advantages of two models of ion channel permeation and (b) whether ryanodine receptor adaptation might arise from flash photolysis. Each argument, over the choice of model or influence of technique, is an example of a classic scientific dispute. Here we turn to another hoary old problem—the identificati...

This article reflects upon and updates our prize-winning paper, ‘First-mover advantages,’ which was published in SMJ 10 years ago. We discuss the evolution of the literature over the past decade and suggest opportunities for continuing research. In particular, we see benefits from linking empirical findings on first-mover advantages with the complementary stream of research on the resource-base...

We show that the optimization problem is NP-hard for a wide class of motion planning puzzles, including classical SOKOBAN. We investigate a new problem, the Box Mover Problem (BMP), in which the agent is allowed to lift and carry boxes on a rectilinear grid in order to rearrange them. Some classical motion planning puzzles are special cases of BMP. We also identify a natural class of BMP instan...

A thermal power station is a power plant in which the prime mover is steam driven. Water is heated, turns into steam and spins a steam turbine which drives an electrical generator. After it passes through the turbine, the steam is condensed in a condenser and recycled to where it was heated; this is known as a Rankine cycle. The greatest variation in the design of thermal power stations is due ...

The primary motor cortex produces motor commands that include encoding the direction of movement. Excitability of the motor cortex in the reaction time (RT) task can be assessed using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). To elucidate the timing of the increase in cortical excitability and of the determination of movement direction before movement onset, we asked six right-handed, healthy su...
