APEC countries have adopted a set of "competition principles" designed to apply to all industries, including the financial services industry.
We prove necessary and sufficient conditions for a set of competition rules to have the properties that truthful reporting are dominant strategies and maximum effort in matches are Nash equilibrium strategies, and certain fairness conditions are met.
In this study we performed a complete set of competition experiments with Zn and Cd in order to analyze their possible interactions and reciprocal effects at the root-to-shoot translocation level.
Considering these aspects, in this paper we present and discuss a set of competition experiments with Zn and Cd which aimed at analyzing their possible interactions and reciprocal effects at the root-to-shoot translocation level.
To try to clarify these aspects, we performed a complete set of competition experiments with Zn and Cd using rice plants grown in a soil-free system, aimed at obtaining a wide range of Zn and Cd concentrations at the root level.
Given the large number of species used in this study, along with the substantial time required to visualize and enumerate root growth (below), it was not feasible to conduct a fully pairwise set of competition trials including all species combinations.
We therefore followed the referees' suggestion and performed an additional set of competition experiments in which, instead of running the competition for 24 hours, we diluted and spread the cells on indicator TA plates after 2 hours, when cultures are in mid-exponential phase.
To further delineate biochemical mechanisms underlying the inhibition of SIRT1 activity by INZ, we conducted a set of competition assays with limited titration of the compound, acetylated p53 peptide substrates and NAD+, a co-factor of SIRT1 (Tanny et al, 1999).
To distinguish these two hypotheses, we performed a large set of competitions using one of the evolved lines.
There will be a lot of competition, so maybe setting themselves apart from the pack is the right idea.
