The mechanism by Hart and Mas-Colell (1996) for non-transferable utility (NTU) games is generalized so that a coalition structure among players is taken into account. The new mechanism yields the Owen value for transferable utility (TU) games with coalition structure as well as the consistent value (Maschler and Owen 1989, 1992) for NTU games with trivial coalition structure. Furthermore, we ob...

DE VOS, A.]. & DOBSON, LYNNE D. Eimeria chinchillae DeVos & Vander Westhuizen, 1968 and other Eimeria spp. from three South African rodent species. Onderstepoort ]. vet. Res., 37 (4), 185-190 (1970). Eimeria chinchillae DeVos & Vander Westhuizen, 1968, an organism originally described from the chinchilla and subsequently shown to be transmissible to other rodents, was found to occur naturally i...

By A. Jefferis Turner, m.d. (Intercolonial Medical Journal of Australasia.)?After describing the spread of anchylostomiasis in Australia, Dr. Turner gives his experience of treatment. He had disappointing results with calomel, santonin, male fern, naphthalin, naphthol, thymol, and other drugs. Ordinary doses of thymol, such as five grains thrice daily, he had found utterly useless; but on readi...

Despite the considerable efforts spent on researching and developing Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) there is a noticeable absence of deployed systems. In the past the MAS research community ignored this problem arguing that it is not a genuine MAS problem and consequently of lesser importance than other unsolved issues like cooperation, coordination, negotiation and communication. However, as the fi...

Diacylglyceryl-N,N,N-trimethylhomoserine (DGTS) belongs to a family of three known betaine lipids. It is synthesized by a number of bacteria, fungi, brown, red and green algae, in addition to lichens, and is also found in higher plants Bryophyta, Equisetophyta and Polydiophyta. It has been determined that DGTS plants can be DGTS-positive or DGTS-negative. The purpose of the present study was to...

Drought-tolerant perennials are intensively sought-after plants for decorative purposes. Perennial ferns cold-hardy cultivars that great shady to partially shaded areas of the garden, but their response drought stress is unknown. In this study, we examined how reduced watering altered growth Athyrium niponicum ‘Red Beauty’, Cyrtomium fortunei ‘Clivicola’, Dryopteris atrata, erythrosora, Dryoper...

Polystichum Roth is one of the largest and most taxonomically challenging fern genera. South American species have a rich and complex nomenclatural history; many of the early names are inadequately typified. Based on extensive examination of original type material, we designate eleven lectotypes (including Aspidium mohrioides, Aspidium montevidense f. imbricata, Aspidium montevidense f. squamul...

One new coumarin, dryofracoumarin A (1), and eight known compounds 2-9 were isolated from Dryopteris fragrans (L.) Schott. Their structures were established on the basis of extensive spectroscopic data analyses and comparison with reported spectroscopic data. The new compound 1 was determined to be 8-hydroxyl-4-isopropyl-7-methyl-6-methyl-2H-benzopyran-2-one. Two dimers, trans- and cis-3-(3,4-d...
