In this paper, we provide a welfare ranking for the equilibria of the supply function and quantity competitions in a differentiated product duopoly with demand uncertainty.We prove that the expected consumer surplus is always higher under the supply function competition, irrespective of whether the (duopolistic) products are substitutes, complement
To clarify the factors responsible for the maintenance of a high rate of photosynthesis at the ripening stage in the high-yield rice cultivar Akenohoshi, as compared with that in a Japanese standard cultivar, Nipponbare, we investigated the nitrogen content of leaves, focusing on the accumulation and the partitioning of nitrogen in rice plants.The
Performance evaluation is one of the most important issues in the field of parallel kinematic manipulators (PKMs).As a very important class of PKMs, the redundant PKMs have been studied intensively.However, the performance evaluation of this type of PKMs is still unresolved and a challenging endeavor.In this paper, indices Balloons Bubble that assi
At present, the majority of population domestic grain depot exist several problems, such as the low level of storage facilities, the inexact way of raw grain collection and storage, the low efficiency of traditional cutting and inspection, and these problems have already hindered the further development of food security refined managed.Promoting Sc
A growing body of evidence indicates that epigenetic mechanisms, particularly DNA methylation, play key regulatory roles in plant-nematode interactions.Nevertheless, the transcriptional activity of key genes mediating DNA methylation and active demethylation in the nematode feeding sites remains largely unknown.Here, we profiled the promoter activi
