AbstractThis paper examines the micro-level link between migrant remittances and state legitimacy.The paper argues that there are two theoretical channels through which remittances may ultimately erode state legitimacy.First, remittance income earners may use remittance income to bribe state institutions, and thus may feel that they do not need Car
Summary: The social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum commonly forms Gear Bags chimeric fruiting bodies.Genetic variants that produce a higher proportion of spores are predicted to undercut multicellular organization unless cooperators assort positively.Cell adhesion is considered a primary factor driving such assortment, but evolution of adhesion ha
In this article, a novel online method for multi-player non-zero-sum (NZS) differential games of nonlinear partially unknown continuous time (CT) systems with control constraints is developed based on neural networks (NN).The issue of multi-player NZS games with saturated actuator is elaborately analyzed and the unknown dynamics model is learned by
This work investigates the microstructure and corrosion characteristics of an Inconel 625 weld cladding deposited by the electroslag welding (ESW) process with a single layer on an ASTM A516 Gr.70 steel plate with a heat input of 11.7 kJ/mm.Microhardness testing, metallographic examination and corrosion tests were performed on samples removed at 1
