The East End, the West End, and King's Cross: On Clustering in the Four-Player Hotelling Game [PDF]
We study experimentally a standard four-player Hotelling game, with a uniform density of consumers and inelastic demand. The pure strategy Nash equilibrium configuration consists of two firms located at one quarter of the ``linear city'', and the other ...

B4C - SiC composites for armour
, 2023 Armours form a key component of the modern soldier’s protective equipment. Ceramics have higher hardness and lower density than traditional metals, providing a more capable and lighter armour. Armour can however decrease mobility and increase soldier fatigue.

How Strong Buyers Spur Upstream Innovation [PDF]
We challenge the view that the presence of powerful buyers stiffles suppliers' incentives to innovate. Following Katz (1987), we model buyer power as buyers' ability to substitute away from a given supplier and isolate several effects that support the ...

Fillers for improved graphite fiber retention by polymer matrix composites [PDF]
The results of a program designed to determine the extent to which elemental boron and boron containing fillers added to the matrix resin of graphite/epoxy composites prevent the release of graphite fibers when the composites are exposed to fire and ...
