1. A dogfish from which all six ampullae have been removed maintains its equilibrium; the righting reactions occur promptly; compensatory movements of the eyes occur in response to rotations in all planes except the horizontal; the compensatory position of the eyes is retained if the animal is held in an abnormal position. Both the static and dynamic functions of equilibrium continue, therefore...

The present paper describes a set of procedures for the solution of nonlinear static-equilibrium problems in the complex multibody mechanical systems. To find the equilibrium position of the system, five optimization techniques are used to minimize the total potential energy of the system. Comparisons are made between these techniques. A computer program is developed to evaluate the equality co...

As part of the development of equipment and innovative technology for the process flow-sheet, a study on the selection of good resin for uranium uptake is ongoing. Both static and dynamic column equilibrium testing upon synthetic and Gattar pregnant leach solutions (PLS) were carried out to estimate the change of total capacity and breakthrough capacity of the commercial macroporous anion excha...

We experimentally examine equilibrium refinements in static and dynamic binary choice games of complete information with strategic complementarities known as “entry” games. Examples include speculative attacks, bank runs and refinancing decisions by multiple lenders. We explore behavior when the value of a payoff relevant state variable is known to all players in advance of making their action ...

Abstract This paper establishes relationships between static Nash equilibria and dynamic Markov perfect equilibria of tariff and quota retaliation games. In supermodular games where tariffs are strategic complements, the steady state of every, symmetric Markov perfect equilibrium must have lower tariffs than in the static equilibrium. If tariffs are strategic substitutes, tariffs in the dynamic...

This research examines results from laboratory experiments in which five human subjects participate as sellers in a Cournot oligopoly environment. The central issue is whether repeated play among a group of privately informed subjects will lead to convergence to a unique, static, noncooperative Nash equilibrium. The experiments were designed so that the implications of different hypotheses abou...

We introduce the class of anti-coordination games, including the hawk-dove game as a special case. A symmetric two-player game is said to have the anti-coordination property if any worst response to a mixed strategy is in the support of that mixed strategy. Every anti-coordination game has a unique interior Nash equilibrium. We investigate stability of the static equilibrium under several dynam...

Equilibrium planform formulations of beaches are engineering tools for providing solutions beach erosion problems. They aim at defining the final orientation on a scale years and thus they used evaluating shoreline response due to human interference (ports, breakwaters, protection works…etc). These create solution numerous coastal stability The Parabolic Bay Shape Equation (PBSE) proposed by Hs...
