This paper presents a game intended to train teams that have both individual and teams goals to negotiate collaboratively in order to reach the team goal in the best way possible. We consider self-managing teams, i.e., teams that do not have a hierarchical structure. The importance of the team goal in comparison to their individual goals is touched upon, as are various conflicts that can occur ...

background: during radiotherapy treatment, critical organs are shielded using lead and cerrobend blocks. the objective of this study is to compare the effects of lead and cerrobend shielding blocks on incident photon beam. methods: collimator scatter factors were measured for open square fields (3 x 3 cm to 40 x 40 cm) defined by collimator jaws and for fields blocked down to smaller asymmetric...

It is demonstrated that an array of N dual-polarized antennas can cancel up to 2N-1 broadband interferers, while still maintaining a high probability of GPS satellite availability.

This note focuses on the coupling of a type IIA D2-brane to a background B field. It is shown that the D0-brane charge arising from the integral over the D2-brane of the pullback of the B field is cancelled by bulk contributions, for a compact D2-brane wrapping a homotopically trivial cycle in space-time. In M-theory this cancellation is a straightforward consequence of momentum conservation. T...

In this paper we construct generalised Penrose limits for the solutions of massive type IIA supergravity. We consider the Freund-Rubin type solution and apply these massive Penrose limits and obtain supersymmetric pp-wave which is standard type IIA background. The results in this paper can be easily generalised for the cases of gauged supergravities.
