When dividing a “manna” ? of private items (commodities, workloads, land, time slots) between n agents, the individual guarantee is welfare each agent can secure in worst case other agents’ preferences and actions. If manna nonatomic utilities are continuous (not necessarily monotone or convex) minmax utility, that our agent’s best share partition manna, guaranteed by Kuhn’s generalization divi...

conclusions in both itm and modern medicine, ayarij-e-faiqra is a powerful purgative medicine because aloe spp. dried juice is the main ingredient. this juice has been used with other components to increase the efficacy of the medicine and to reduce the adverse effects associated with ayarij-e-faiqra. in itm, purgative medicine expels and eliminates waste humors from body systems. in modern med...

mannea is the most important state, which was established before median kingdom and ruled on vast part of northwestern iran for several centuries. manneaen were from hurrian race and language and probably entered the region about 1500 b.c. in their political life although they suffered many inva-sions from assyria and urartu, they kept their political and cultural independence and expended thei...

Magnesium sulphate has previously been used as a purgative in a test involving the measurement of the faecal excretion of pancreatic enzymes. In order to validate the use of magnesium sulphate for this purpose, in 18 individuals the pancreatic and biliary response to intravenous infusion of secretin (1 CU/kg-h) plus CCK(1IU/kg-h) were compared with the responses to one of three dose-rates of ma...

In this paper, we develop and apply an analytical model to predict the performance of McGill's EARTH-MANNA multithreaded multiprocessor system. The performance model is evolved from a closed queuing network model for multithreaded architectures reported in our earlier work [17]. In this work, we extend the original model to account for the complications due to realistic subsystem interactions a...

A successful renormalization-group (RG) approach may provide signinicant insights of a system exhibiting power-law dependencies. In 1994, a RG scheme [1] was proposed for sandpile models which exhibit power-law behavior and function as the models of self-organized criticality [2]. One momentous result of such a RG approach is that BakTang-Wisenfeld (BTW) [2] sandpile posepossing a deterministic...

A mixed manna contains goods (that everyone likes), bads (that everyone dislikes), as well as items that are goods to some agents, but bads or satiated to others. If all items are goods and utility functions are homogeneous of degree one, concave (and monotone), the competitive division maximizes the Nash product of utilities (Gale-Eisenberg): hence it is welfarist (determined by the set of fea...
