Mass action systems capture chemical reaction networks in homogeneous and dilute solutions. We suggest a notion of generalized mass action systems that admits arbitrary power-law rate functions and serves as a more realistic model for reaction networks in intracellular environments. In addition to the complexes of a network and the related stoichiometric subspace, we introduce corresponding kin...

We consider a class of nonlinear differential equations that arises in the study of chemical reaction systems known to be locally asymptotically stable and prove that they are in fact globally asymptotically stable. More specifically, we will consider chemical reaction systems that are weakly reversible, have a deficiency of zero, and are equipped with mass action kinetics. We show that if for ...

This paper analyzes the stability of the (Pareto efficient) nonsunspot equilibria as a function of the constraints faced by consumers in their ability to transfer wealth between states of nature. The nonsunspot equilibria are independent of the constraints since they can be identified to the equilibria of the associated certainty economy. It is shown that the equilibria that are stable for the ...

Juli 1998 Aluminium Neodymium Chloride, Decomposition, Thermochemical Data, Enthalpy, Entropy The thermodynamical data of solid and gaseous aluminium neodymium chloride have been obtained by determination of the decomposition equilibria (of solid) from total pressure mea­ surements and chemical transport reactions (gaseous). The melting...

Recently Bramoulle and Kranton [2] presented a model for the provision of public goods over a network and showed the existence of a class of Nash equilibria called specialized equilibria wherein some agents exert maximum effort while other agents free ride. We examine the efficiency, effort and cost of specialized equilibria in comparison to other equilibria. Our main results show that the welf...

A variable-temperature, proton noise-decoupled, (13)C nmr spectral study of the chair-chair interconversion in 1,1,3,3-tetramethylcyclohexane has demonstrated the utility of (13)C spectra for probing conformational equilibria. There is a much larger chemical-shift difference between the carbons of axial and equatorial methyl groups than between the protons of these methyl groups, 133 Hz compare...

The formation of adducts by the reaction of chemicals with DNA is a critical step for the initiation of carcinogenesis. The structural analysis of various DNA adducts reveals that conformational and chemical rearrangements and interconversions are a common theme. Conformational changes are modulated both by the nature of adduct and the base sequences neighboring the lesion sites. Equilibria bet...

We have revised the thermodynamic database MALT to match the window’s environments and also to make it bilingual (English and Japanese). The main characteristic features are described with an emphasis on those functions which will be available in the new version. To facilitate the application of thermodynamic analysis on materials development and process analysis, the database MALT provides gen...
