Abstract We study a mean field game in continuous time over finite horizon, T, where the state of each agent is binary and players base their strategic decisions on two, possibly competing, factors: willingness to align with majority (conformism) aspiration sticking own type (stubbornness). also consider quadratic cost related rate at which change happens: changing opinion may be costly operati...

Flying has become an increasingly contested form of consumption, but ‘green’ consumers often continue to fly. This paper provides novel insights into the stubbornness air-travel by specifically studying obstacles that environmentally conscious face when trying limit or eliminate aeromobility. Through in-depth interviews with Norwegian environmental organization workers – conceptualised as parti...

We study the symplectic nature of the moduli stack of dormant indigenous bundles on proper hyperbolic curves. Our aim of the present paper is to consider the positive characteristic analogue of work of S. Kawai (in the paper entitled “The symplectic nature of the space of projective connections on Riemann surfaces”), P. Arés-Gastesi, and I. Biswas. The main result asserts a certain compatibilit...

The international climate change negotiations leading to and including the Copenhagen and Cancun Conferences of the Parties in 2009 and 2010 have shown a very different balance of power from those of the 1997 Kyoto round. This ‘‘New World dis(Order)’’ is characterized by insecurity of the United States in the face of economic and political decline vis-à-vis China; fragmentation of the Group of ...

This research tries to elaborate on the interpretation of HAMKA in his book Tafsir al-Azhar (تفسير الأزهر) verses process human creation, especially Q.S. Al-Mu'minun/23:1-17. Most researchers seem more inclined approach Kauniyyah from standpoint scientific explanation, including when interpreting related creation (embryology) If scrutinized, HAMKA’s these is present disputing disbelievers' reje...

The original Hegselmann-Krause (HK) model consists of a set of~$n$ agents that are characterized by their opinion, number in~$[0, 1]$. Each agent, say agent~$i$, updates its opinion~$x_i$ taking the average opinion all neighbors, whose differs from~$x_i$ at most~$\epsilon$. There two types of~HK models: synchronous~HK and asynchronous~HK model. For synchronous model, update simultaneously each ...

I ncreasing evidence suggests that the fallopian tubes — once seen as an extremely rare site for cancer — could be the source of the most aggressive ovarian cancer. Last April, investigators at the Dana – Farber Cancer Institute in Boston immortalized fallopian tube cells in the lab, inducing the process by which ovarian cancer progresses from these reproductive tubes to high-grade serous tumor...

MiRNAs have been thoroughly studied for their vast roles in oncology, however, recent immune-related miRNAs recognized as prospective modulators the tumor immune surveillance process. The high immunogenicity of TNBC along with its stubbornness towards effective targeted therapy shifted therapeutic interests immunotherapy. Accordingly, a promising approach would be targeting suppressive microenv...
