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...

Much of what follows is taken from ‘The COPE Report 2003’ by Tim Albert and Liz Wager. They, in turn, draw substantially on the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) guidelines issued in 2001 and updated in 2013. COPE is the acronym of the Committee of Publication Ethics which is a grouping of more than 5000 editors of scientific and learned journals covering all discipline...

We propose two variations of the non-cooperative bargaining model for games in coalitional form, introduced by Hart and Mas-Colell (1996a). These strategic games implement, in the limit, two new NTU-values: The random marginal and the random removal values. The main characteristic of these proposals is that they always select a unique payo¤ allocation in NTU-games. The random marginal value coi...

Smart Structures is a rapidly advancing field with the range of support and enabling technologies having made significant advances, notably optics and electronics. Whilst piezoelectric actuators and fiber optic sensors have been accorded the most attention, other techniques such as Shape Memory Alloys, Magneto Restrictive Materials and Electro-Rheological Fluids also have niche applications. Fu...

The NTU-MC compilation taps on the linguistic diversity of multilingual texts available within Singapore. The current version of NTU-MC contains 595,000 words (26,000 sentences) in 7 languages (Arabic, Chinese, English, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese) from 7 language families (Afro-Asiatic, Sino-Tibetan, Indo-European, Austronesian, Japonic, Korean as a language isolate and Austro-...

Turbidity imparts a great problem in water treatment. Moringa oleifera, Cicer arietinum, and Dolichos lablab were used as locally available natural coagulants in this study to reduce turbidity of synthetic water. The tests were carried out, using artificial turbid water with conventional jar test apparatus. Optimum mixing intensity and duration were determined. After dosing water-soluble extrac...
