It is shown that the Harsanyi NTU solution is consistent according to the Hart and Mas-Colell reduced game for NTU games, when we consider payoff configurations as solution outcomes. Moreover, we characterize this solution on a wide class of NTU games where this solution is single-valued:...

A CO+NO→CO2+12N2 surface reaction model is studied by means of Monte Carlo simulations. The surface is represented by triangular and square lattices and the diffusion of N and lateral interaction between reactant nearest-neighbor adatoms is considered. The influence of diffusion of N to...

Liquid-phase sintering (LPS) is a consolidation process for metallic and ceramic powders. At given temperature conditions, the process occurs with constant amount of liquid phase. However, the evolution of solid-particle shape is observed, namely, the rounding of particles and the growth of big...

Liquid-phase sintering (LPS) is an industrial process used to consolidate materials composed of two different kinds of metallic and/or ceramic powders. At constant temperature, the amount of the present liquid-phase is constant. However, the shape of particles of solid phase changes over time....

This introductory textbook with a global scope aims to train students of geography, sustainability, and urban and environmental studies to re-imagine and transform cities to meet climate, biodiversity, and sustainability challenges. A dedicated team of authors critically examine the...
