Does altruism and morality lead to socially better outcomes in strategic interactions than selfishness? We shed some light on this complex and non-trivial issue by examining a few canonical strategic interactions played by egoists, altruists and moralists.By altruists, we mean people who do not only care about their own material payoffs but also ab
In a conventional AC distribution system, the conservation voltage reduction (CVR) strategy is widely employed to lower down the voltage of specific load to lower the power consumption.The wide applicability of demand side management (DSM) using CVR in a stand-alone microgrid through VSI-based energy sources is a thrust area, that is, not examined
Pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas (PGLs) are rare non-epithelial neuroendocrine neoplasms of the adrenal medulla and extra-adrenal paraganglia respectively.Duodenal PGL is quite rare and there are only two previous reports.Herein, we report a case of multiple catecholamines (CAs)-producing PGLs in the middle ear, retroperitoneum, and duodenum, a
The glucuronoyl esterase enzymes of wood-degrading fungi (Carbohydrate Esterase family 15; CE15) form part of the hemicellulolytic and cellulolytic enzyme systems that break down plant biomass, and have possible applications in biotechnology.Homologous enzymes are predicted in the genomes of several bacteria, however these have been much less studi
