An artificial neural network has been used to determine the volume flux and rejections of Ca2+ , Na+ and Cl¯, as a function of transmembrane pressure and concentrations of Ca2+, polyethyleneimine, and polyacrylic acid in water softening by nanofiltration process in presence of polyelectrolytes. The feed-forward multi-layer perceptron artificial neural network including an eight-neuron hidde...

In an infinite-horizon setting, Ferejohn and Page showed that Arrow’s axioms and stationarity lead to a dictatorship by the first generation. Packel strengthened this result by proving that no collective choice rule generating complete social preferences can satisfy unlimited domain, weak Pareto and stationarity. We prove that a domain restriction can be imposed and completeness can be dropped ...

The forward-backward asymmetry is an important measurable quantity which can enable independent determination of the neutral-current couplings fermions. In this paper, we extend definition from partonic level to hadronic by calculating hadron pair in semi-inclusive electron position annihilation process. Semi-inclusive implies that a back-to-back jet also measured addition pair. Due limitation ...

We show the incompatibility between the existence of stationary subgame perfect equilibria in Shaked’s game of cycling offers with exogenous breakdown and the behavior of players consistent with the Allais Paradox. Thus, the strategic support of the equally marginally bold solution presented in Burgos, Grant, and Kajii [2002. Games Econ. Behav. 38, 28–51] does not go beyond the two-person case....
