The Stability

Abstract The management strategies of a firm are inevitable affected by individual behavior preferences. The effect of individual preference on the evolutionary dynamics for supply chains is studied by employing replicator dynamics. Each firm has three behavior preferences: selfishness, fairness, and altruism. Firstly, the case that the strategy set of manufacturers and retailers including two pure strategies is considered and the effect of preference parameter on the equilibrium outcome in the short-term interaction is discussed. Secondly, the equilibrium state in the short-term is always disturbed because the change of the environment, firm’s structure, and so forth. Using the replicator dynamics, the evolutionary stable strategies of manufacturers and retailers in the long-term interaction are analyzed. Finally, the extend case that the strategy set of manufacturers and retailers include three pure strategies is investigated. These results are found that the strategy profile in which both manufacturer and retailer choose fairness or altruism, or one player chooses fair or altruistic strategy and the other player chooses selfish strategy may be evolutionary stable, the stability of these equilibria depends on the the preference parameters.

The trends of European energy markets depend on the forecasting of fundamental price based on the modeling approaches for short-term physical electricity markets, including day-ahead trade markets for energy power, intra-day trade markets for energy power, trade for balancing or reserving energy capacity. The typical hierarchy of modeling on modern market consists of the fundamental model of long-term planning to years ahead (where stochastic aggregation or disaggregation for price forecasting takes place), the model of medium-term planning to months ahead (where the stochastic modeling of semi aggregated hydro energy with generation of cuts, at prices given, takes place), and the model of short-term planning to weeks ahead (where the deterministic modeling of disaggregated hydro energy, at prices given, takes place). The model of long-term planning is a fundamental one in the sense of a detailed and adequate description of market, supply, demand, and network topology. The models of medium-term and short-term planning are typical ones for regional markets. Energy storage technologies have changed modern energy markets. If the traditional power grids have worked like ultimate just-in-time supply chains without stocks and with almost immediate delivery of good (electricity), then modernized power grids will create new opportunities for their optimization and operation. The new power grids will resemble common supply chains with stocks (in the form of large-scale batteries and other energy storage devices), supply uncertainty (from variable power sources such as wind and solar power plants), high customer service requirements (under deregulating of the electricity market and entering of new competitors to the market), the newest pricing schemes (due to the new communication infrastructure allowing information transmission for real time pricing). An energy storage system can be viewed as a system of stocks, where the product stored is the energy instead of a traditional good. Then a series of models of energy storage management is based on the fundamental theory of inventory optimization. On the other hand, energy storage systems usually have more room for decision: in addition to the decision to purchase a product (as in classic inventory models), there may be decisions about the quantity and the price of product sales.

The article is dedicated to the new trends emerging in the global supply chain, related to the coronavirus pandemic COVID-19, substantially affected production, transportation and marketing of goods. The authors underline a high risks of initial chain location in China, which sporadically leads to a localization of production supply within national borders. This biase in the international logistics is rather long term than short term I terms of national sustainability. The authors underline the icreasing significance of risk reduction and supply chain reliability over minimization of cost in the logistical decision makings. The ambivalency in the trade of the pandemic emergency goods is analysed in a sense of providing specifically favourable terms for its sirculation among the countries on the one side and the national protection issued for such goods by the national governments, pursuing its sufficient provision on the domestic market on the other side.

AbstractRapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) of words or pictured scenes provides evidence for a large-capacity conceptual short-term memory (CSTM) that momentarily provides rich associated material from long-term memory, permitting rapid chunking (Potter 1993; 2009; 2012). In perception of scenes as well as language comprehension, we make use of knowledge that briefly exceeds the supposed limits of working memory.

Previous short term toxicological studies of one to two weeks duration have demonstrated that MDL 19,660 (5-(4-chlorophenyl)-2,4-dihydro-2,4-dimethyl-3Hl, 2,4-triazole-3-thione), an antidepressant drug, causes a dose-related thrombocytopenia in dogs. Platelet counts started to decline after two days of dosing with 30 mg/kg/day and continued to decrease to their lowest levels by 5-7 days. The loss in platelets was primarily of the small discoid subpopulation. In vitro studies have also indicated that MDL 19,660: does not spontaneously aggregate canine platelets and has moderate antiaggregating properties by inhibiting ADP-induced aggregation. The objectives of the present investigation of MDL 19,660 were to evaluate ultrastructurally long term effects on platelet internal architecture and changes in subpopulations of platelets and megakaryocytes.Nine male and nine female beagle dogs were divided equally into three groups and were administered orally 0, 15, or 30 mg/kg/day of MDL 19,660 for three months. Compared to a control platelet range of 353,000- 452,000/μl, a doserelated thrombocytopenia reached a maximum severity of an average of 135,000/μl for the 15 mg/kg/day dogs after two weeks and 81,000/μl for the 30 mg/kg/day dogs after one week.

Objectives School-age children with and without parent-reported listening difficulties (LiD) were compared on auditory processing, language, memory, and attention abilities. The objective was to extend what is known so far in the literature about children with LiD by using multiple measures and selective novel measures across the above areas. Design Twenty-six children who were reported by their parents as having LiD and 26 age-matched typically developing children completed clinical tests of auditory processing and multiple measures of language, attention, and memory. All children had normal-range pure-tone hearing thresholds bilaterally. Group differences were examined. Results In addition to significantly poorer speech-perception-in-noise scores, children with LiD had reduced speed and accuracy of word retrieval from long-term memory, poorer short-term memory, sentence recall, and inferencing ability. Statistically significant group differences were of moderate effect size; however, standard test scores of children with LiD were not clinically poor. No statistically significant group differences were observed in attention, working memory capacity, vocabulary, and nonverbal IQ. Conclusions Mild signal-to-noise ratio loss, as reflected by the group mean of children with LiD, supported the children's functional listening problems. In addition, children's relative weakness in select areas of language performance, short-term memory, and long-term memory lexical retrieval speed and accuracy added to previous research on evidence-based areas that need to be evaluated in children with LiD who almost always have heterogenous profiles. Importantly, the functional difficulties faced by children with LiD in relation to their test results indicated, to some extent, that commonly used assessments may not be adequately capturing the children's listening challenges.
