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....

Sustainable pathways for producing hydrogen as a synthesis intermediate or as a clean energetic vector will be needed in the future. Renewable biomass resources should be taken into account in this new scenario. Processing through a pyrolysis step, optimized to high liquid production (bio-oil),...

The Metropolis algorithm is modified to obtain the ground state and the low-energy excitations of localized interacting systems. The method is applied to random three-dimensional systems of strongly localized electrons with Coulomb interactions. Energy and dielectric relaxation are studied. The...

We consider the neural network model (Miyashita, 1988. Griniasty et al., 1993) proposed to describe neurophysiological experiments in which structurally uncorrelated patterns are converted into spatially correlated attractors. For such a network of N neurons and for values of the coupling...

The San Ramón Fault is an active west-vergent thrust fault system located along the eastern border of the city of Santiago, at the foot of the main Andes Cordillera. This is a kilometric crustal-scale structure recently recognized that represents a potential source for geological hazards. In...
