Abstract:

Esta tesis consiste en tres capítulos sobre la Teoría de concursos. Esta teoría estudia situaciones en las cuáles individuos compiten entre sí para ganar un premio. El bajo rendimiento en concursos aparece naturalmente por distintas razones, como la falta de información o el conflicto entre grupos. El objetivo de esta tesis es encontrar soluciones a este problema. El primer capítulo investiga conflictos entre dos grupos que intentan ganar un premio público y analiza como estos conflictos se ven afectados cuando los grupos son dirigidos por un organizador con la capacidad de imponer transfere

Abstract:

This thesis investigates different aspects of competition under uncertainty using the tools of game theory. In Chapter 1, I consider a quantity oligopoly game. One of the firms is presented with an opportunity to commit to some output before the demand becomes known, but may add to it afterwards, then moving simultaneously with the rivals. I show that the more cost-efficient firm is more likely to behave like a Stackelberg leader, i.e. to produce the optimal Stackelberg leader quantity ex-ante and refrain from adding to it later, letting the rivals respond to its ex-ante output in the manner o

This study focuses on a secondary contact zone between two sister species of woodrat, Neotoma fuscipes (dusky-footed woodrat) and N. macrotis (big-eared woodrat). Along the Nacimiento River, on the border of southern Monterey and northern San Luis Obispo counties, the ranges of these sister species of woodrats meet and overlap forming a secondary contact zone. The zone of secondary contact is estimated to include a 500-meter (~1,650 linear feet) portion of the Nacimiento River riparian corridor.

Extant research within competitive dynamics recognizes a positive relationship between high levels of competitive activity and firm performance, but the cognitive and psychological antecedents to competitive activity are far less clearly understood. I explore the role of a specific psychological antecedent - status, in impacting firms’ motivations to launch competitive moves against rivals. The key question, which extant literature does not seem fully equipped to answer, is when and under exactly what circumstances lower-status firms become motivated to launch action against higher-status ones

Abstract:

This doctoral thesis analyses competitive situations in which public institutions are involved and evaluates public institutions from three different perspectives. The first contribution analyses a regular activity of public institutions, procurement of services, in which there is a potential moral hazard problem. A public institution should bias future competitions in favour to the past winner who performs a high quality service, and that this bias should be additive. When the linearity is reduced a bit, the moral hazard problem is less severe. However, if the linearity is reduced too much, t

Community composition results from an integrated combination of random processes, regional habitat spatial structure, local environmental conditions, and species interactions.

This thesis is an effort to apply Eliass thinking on social development to the Chinese social situation.

It is argued, however, that closer scrutiny reveals a process that was merely interrupted for a considerable period.

Abstract:

The principle of competitive exclusion holds that the strongest competitor for a single resource can exclude other species. Yet in many systems, more similar species appear to stably coexist than the small number of limiting resources. Understanding how and when similar species can stably coexist has taken on new urgency in managing biological invasions and their ecological impacts. Recent theoretical advances emphasize the importance of predators in determining coexistence. The effects of predators, however, can be mediated by behavioral changes induced in their prey as well as by their letha

Abstract:

The conventional logic of competition assumes a general 'struggle' between organisms for access to food or mates. As a consequence of this 'struggle', it is suggested that the most vigorous and competitive individuals usually win out at the expense of their rivals. Despite the clear advantage certain individuals have over others, fitness gradients are maintained in all natural populations. I address this paradox using two complementary approaches. First, I address gender-biased assumptions embedded in traditional mate choice models, and critically examine the extent to which evolution is drive

Abstract:

The purpose of the study was to document the process of Triathlon Canada's implementation of a new coach education program in the competition-development context. Two conceptual frameworks were used for the study, the first was the OECD (2007b) qualifications system framework and the second was Jarvis' (2006a) conception of a biography. In part 1, the high performance director was interviewed four times throughout the year to get his perspective on the process of developing and implementing the new program. Through the use of purposeful sampling, all of the coaches' (n=10) actively coaching tr

Abstract:

Quand deux espèces exploitent la même niche écologique, elles entrent en compétition. Cette compétition interspécifique peut conduire à l’exclusion de l’une d’entre elles. Toutefois, il est possible qu’un équilibre s’installe et que les deux espèces coexistent en sympatrie. Eupelmus vuilleti et Dinarmus basalis sont deux espèces de parasitoïdes solitaires, exploitant la même niche écologique, les larves et les nymphes de Callosobruchus maculatus un coléoptère séminivore. En situation de compétition par exploitation, E. vuilleti présente les caractéristiques d’une espèce dominante, potentiellem
