McGarvey (1953) has shown that any irreflexive and anti-symmetric relation can be obtained as a relation induced by majority rule. We address the analogous issue for dominance relations of finite cooperative games with non-transferable utility (coalitional NTU games). We find any irreflexive relation over a finite set can be obtained as the dominance relation of some finite coalitional NTU game...

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...

—The negative effect of turbidity on the reactive distance of salmonids has been well established. However, determining the consequences of this relationship for overall feeding success remains problematic, as successful foraging by salmonids across a broad range in turbidity has been observed under a variety of conditions. Previous laboratory and field observations suggest that benthic feeding...

We axiomatize the inner core in a similar way as the one proposed by Aumann (1985) in order to characterize the NTU value.

Over 1.1 billion people in the world lack access to improved drinking water. Diarrhoeal and other waterborne diseases cause an estimated 1.87 million deaths per year. The Safe Water System (SWS) is a household water treatment intervention that reduces diarrhoeal disease incidence among users in developing countries. Turbid waters pose a particular challenge to implementation of SWS programmes; ...
