(b) We do several iterations of eliminating strictly dominated strategies. First, note that when v < 75, bidding 75 is strictly dominated: regardless of the other bidder’s strategy, you will win the auction at least half the time, giving strictly negative payoff, while bidding 0 ensures a payoff of 0. Second, assume your opponent never bids 75 unless his value is at least 75. Then a bid of 50 w...

Abstract We conducted magnetotelluric measurements to investigate a large serpentinite complex in the northern Kamuikotan Zone that intruded Cretaceous–Paleocene forearc sedimentary sequence. The resistivity model we derived by three-dimensional inversion clearly shows low-resistivity zone beneath outcrop of complex. interpret represent aqueous pore fluid within mélange from subducting Pacific ...

Bid is a proapoptotic Bcl-2 family protein, which on activation translocates to mitochondria and induces damage to the organelles. Activation of Bid depends on its proteolytic processing into truncated forms of tBid. Bid is highly expressed in the kidneys; however, little is known about its role in renal pathophysiology. In this study, we initially examined Bid activation in cultured rat kidney...

Qara Aqaj titanium potential is one of the two major known titanium resources in Iran. The main host rocks of the ore body are ultramafics including wehrlite and lherzolite with minor clinopyroxenite. Qara Aqaj intrusion is composed mainly of ultramafic-mafic rocks, layered gabbro, diorite, microdiorite and some monzonite and alkali syenite. This intrusion has intruded the basement complex (amp...
