the shanghai cooperation organization (sco) is developing into a major regional institution in the heart of central eurasia. to make any predictions about the sco, one must examine factors contributing to russian and chinese foreign policy behaviors in central asia. does the seductive presumption of a looming battle for control of eurasia smell of a new “great game” and great power rivalry? ans...

Currently, many socially responsible governments adopt economic incentives and deterrents to manage environmental impacts of electricity suppliers. Considering the Stackelberg leadership of the government, the government’s role in the competition of power plants in an electricity market is investigated. A one-population evolutionary game model of power plants is developed to study how their pro...

How to improve energy efficiency of WSNs(Wireless Sensor Network) is an important problem on the design of WSNs , for the demand of Multi-Services , a non-cooperative game power control model is proposed based on the WSNs model of CDMA, the existence and uniqueness of Nash Equilibrium in the game are proved. Then a distributed power control algorithm is proposed based on the game model. Simulat...

Power management is one of the vital issue in wireless sensor networks, where the lifetime of the network relies on battery powered nodes. Transmitting at high power reduces the lifetime of both the nodes and the network. One efficient way of power management is to control the power at which the nodes transmit. In this paper, a virtual multiple input multiple output wireless sensor network (VMI...

Based on the non-cooperative power control game theory, we propose an efficient and unbiased power control algorithm in cognitive radio network (CRN) by improving the utility function. Without causing interference to the primary users (PUs), this effective utility function balances the fairness and system throughput of secondary users (SUs) via a fair pricing function. The pricing punishment pa...

We propose a new power index based on the minimum sum representation (MSR) of a weighted voting game. The MSR offers a redesign of a voting game, such that voting power as measured by the MSR index becomes proportional to voting weight. The MSR index is a coherent measure of power that is ordinally equivalent to the Banzhaf, Shapley-Shubik and Johnston indices. We provide a characterization for...

In this paper, we propose a dynamic game theoretic approach for choosing power optimization strategies for various components(e.g. cpu, network interface etc.) of a low-power device operating in a distributed environment. Specifically, we model the energy consumption problem as a dynamic non-cooperative game theoretic problem, where the various components of the device are modelled as the playe...

Most mobile video applications are often operated on battery energy supply devices. The higher resolutions and complex functionality of video applications need high resource requirements. Thus, power efficient design plays an important role in computation intensive applications especially for video encoding systems. This paper proposed a power-scalable video encoding scheme (PSVE) for energy li...

a territorial isolation is a danger to the game population, causing deterioration called the inbreeding depression. the typical signs are anomalous body proportions, such as short lower jaw, shortened lifetime, weak physique and lower birth rate. this is caused by low number of game in the community. white colored deer is in the location of the czechrepublicbred in separation since 18th century...
