The geometrical configurations of those air-filled, horizontal eccentric annuli, that provide maximum thermal insulation corresponding to various imposed temperature conditions have been identified. For the concentric system, a simple correlation is presented which will permit the calculation of...

Flow patterns, temperature distributions and steady-state heat transfers inwards across a horizontal annular, atmospheric-pressure, air-filled eccentric cavity have been determined. Several different configurations of two low-conductivity baffles (arranged symmetrically with respect to the...

We consider a multimarket framework where a set of firms compete on two oligopolistic markets. The cost of production of each firm allows for spillovers accross markets, ensuring that output decisions for both markets have to be made jointly. Prior to competing in these markets, firms can...

We examine the strong pairwise stability concept in network formation theory under collective network benefits.Strong pairwise stability considers a pair of players to add a link through mutual consent while permitting them to unilaterally delete any subset of links under their control.We...
