Uncoupled Aspiration Adaptation Dynamics Into the Core
No full textDynamics for play of transferable-utility cooperative games are proposed that require information regarding own payoff experiences and other players' past actions, but not regarding other players' payoffs. The proposed dynamics provide an evolutionary interpretation of the proto-dynamic 'blocking argument' (Edgeworth, 1881) based on the behavioral principles of 'aspiration adaptation' (Sauermann and Selten, 1962) instead of best response. If the game has a non-empty core, the dynamics are absorbed into the core in finite time with probability one. If the core is empty, the dynamics cycle infinitely through all coalitions

Evolutionary dynamics and equitable core selection in assignment games
Full text linkWe study evolutionary dynamics in assignment games where many agents interact anonymously at virtually no cost. The process is decentralized, very little information is available and trade takes place at many different prices simultaneously. We propose a completely uncoupled learning process that selects a subset of the core of the game with a natural equity interpretation. This happens even though agents have no knowledge of other agents' strategies, payoffs, or the structure of the game, and there is no central authority with such knowledge either. In our model, agents randomly encounter other agents, make bids and offers for potential partnerships and match if the partnerships are profitable. Equity is favored by our dynamics because it is more stable, not because of any ex ante fairness criterion

A behavioural study of noise in coordination games
Full text linkAbstract‘Noise’ in this study, in the sense of evolutionary game theory, refers to deviations from prevailing behavioral rules. Analyzing data from a laboratory experiment on coordination in networks, we tested ‘what kind of noise’ is supported by behavioral evidence. This empirical analysis complements a growing theoretical literature on ‘how noise matters’ for equilibrium selection. We find that the vast majority of decisions (96%) constitute myopic best responses, but deviations continue to occur with probabilities that are sensitive to their costs, that is, less frequent when implying larger payoff losses relative to the myopic best response. In addition, deviation rates vary with patterns of realized payoffs that are related to trial-and-error behavior. While there is little evidence that deviations are clustered in time or space, there is evidence of individual heterogeneity
Preparation and Catalytic Study of Mn-NaX, Cu-NaX and Ag-/AgNPs-NaX Zeolites
No full textFAU-type zeolite NaX was successfully prepared using hydrothermal synthesis at 90 °C for 6 h. The Mn- and Cu-ion-exchanged NaX zeolites were obtained. After the ion exchange, the zeolite powders were thermally treated at 300 °C. As well as Ag-ion-exchanged zeolite, NaX and zeolite were impregnated with two types of Ag nanoparticle dispersions: citrate surface-stabilized (Cit@Ag NPs) and polymer-stabilized (PVP@Ag) nanoparticles. Silver nanoparticles were synthesized using the electrochemical reduction method. The changes in the phase and chemical composition and structure of the obtained zeolite powders before and after ion exchange or impregnation were investigated by PXRD analysis, FTIR spectroscopy, and XRF analysis. The results show that Mn, Cu-exchanged NaX, and that impregnated with Ag demonstrated catalytic abilities towards ozone decomposition in comparison with pure zeolite (non-catalytic activity)
Channel properties of Nax expressed in neurons.
No full textNax is a sodium-concentration ([Na+])-sensitive Na channel with a gating threshold of ~150 mM for extracellular [Na+] ([Na+]o) in vitro. We previously reported that Nax was preferentially expressed in the glial cells of sensory circumventricular organs including the subfornical organ, and was involved in [Na+] sensing for the control of salt-intake behavior. Although Nax was also suggested to be expressed in the neurons of some brain regions including the amygdala and cerebral cortex, the channel properties of Nax have not yet been adequately characterized in neurons. We herein verified that Nax was expressed in neurons in the lateral amygdala of mice using an antibody that was newly generated against mouse Nax. To investigate the channel properties of Nax expressed in neurons, we established an inducible cell line of Nax using the mouse neuroblastoma cell line, Neuro-2a, which is endogenously devoid of the expression of Nax. Functional analyses of this cell line revealed that the [Na+]-sensitivity of Nax in neuronal cells was similar to that expressed in glial cells. The cation selectivity sequence of the Nax channel in cations was revealed to be Na+ ≈ Li+ > Rb+ > Cs+ for the first time. Furthermore, we demonstrated that Nax bound to postsynaptic density protein 95 (PSD95) through its PSD95/Disc-large/ZO-1 (PDZ)-binding motif at the C-terminus in neurons. The interaction between Nax and PSD95 may be involved in promoting the surface expression of Nax channels because the depletion of endogenous PSD95 resulted in a decrease in Nax at the plasma membrane. These results indicated, for the first time, that Nax functions as a [Na+]-sensitive Na channel in neurons as well as in glial cells
