TL;DR: In this paper, a new Shapley value for non-side-payment games is defined for n-person hyperplane games, where the payoff in a given game is related to payoffs in reduced games in such a way that corrections demanded by coalitions of a fixed size are cancelled out.
Abstract: A new value is defined for n-person hyperplane games, ie, non-sidepayment cooperative games, such that for each coalition, the Pareto optimal set is linear This is a generalization of the Shapley value for side-payment games It is shown that this value is consistent in the sense that the payoff in a given game is related to payoffs in reduced games (obtained by excluding some players) in such a way that corrections demanded by coalitions of a fixed size are cancelled out Moreover, this is the only consistent value which satisfies Pareto optimality (for the grand coalition), symmetry and covariancy with respect to utility changes of scales It can be reached by players who start from an arbitrary Pareto optimal payoff vector and make successive adjustments

TL;DR: In this article, the authors outline a behavioral theory of the entrepreneurial firm that emphasizes transforming environments rather than acting within extant ones, and explicate three ideas that parallel key concepts in BTF: accumulating stakeholder commitments under goal ambiguity (in line with a political conception of goals), achieving control (as opposed to managing expectations), and predominately exaptive (rather than adaptive) orientation.
Abstract: In A Behavioral Theory of the Firm (BTF), Cyert and March [Cyert, R.M., March, J.G., 1963. A Behavioral Theory of the Firm. Prentice-Hall, Englewood Cliffs, NJ] present a clutch of ideas for explaining the behavior of established firms within an environment of well-defined markets, stakeholder relationships, technologies, and so on. In this paper, we outline a behavioral theory of the entrepreneurial firm that emphasizes transforming environments rather than acting within extant ones. In particular, we explicate three ideas that parallel key concepts in BTF: (1) accumulating stakeholder commitments under goal ambiguity (in line with a political conception of goals), (2) achieving control (as opposed to managing expectations) through non-predictive strategies, and (3) predominately exaptive (rather than adaptive) orientation.

TL;DR: A quaternion-based complementary filter algorithm for processing the output data from a nine-axis MARG (Magnetic field, Angular Rate, and Gravity) sensor unit containing three orthogonally mounted angular rate sensors, three Orthogonal linear accelerometers and three orthogsonal magnetometers is described.
Abstract: Rigid body orientation can be determined without the aid of a generated source using nine-axis MARG (Magnetic field, Angular Rate, and Gravity) sensor unit containing three orthogonally mounted angular rate sensors, three orthogonal linear accelerometers and three orthogonal magnetometers. This paper describes a quaternion-based complementary filter algorithm for processing the output data from such a sensor. The filter forms the basis for a system designed to determine the posture of an articulated body in real-time. In the system the orientation relative to an Earth-fixed reference frame of each limb segment is individually determined through the use of an attached MARG sensor. The orientations are used to set the posture of an articulated body model. Details of the fabrication of a prototype MARG sensor are presented. Calibration algorithms for the sensors and the human body model are also presented. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the tracking system and verify the correctness of the underlying theory.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new aerosol optical depth retrieval algorithm is presented that uses the two-angle view capability of the Along Track Scanning Radiometer 2 (ATSR-2).
Abstract: A new aerosol optical depth retrieval algorithm is presented that uses the two-angle view capability of the Along Track Scanning Radiometer 2 (ATSR-2). By combining the two-angle view and the spectral information this so-called dual view algorithm separates between aerosol and surface contributions to the top of the atmosphere radiance. First validation of the dual view algorithm was performed during the Tropospheric Aerosol Radiative Forcing Observational Experiment (TARFOX), which was conducted at the mid-Atlantic coast of the United States in July 1996. The satellite retrieved spectral aerosol optical depth is in good agreement with the aerosol optical depth from ground-based Sun/sky radiometers in three out of four cases. This shows the potential of aerosol retrieval over land using two-angle view satellite radiometry. Copyright 1998 by the American Geophysical Union.

TL;DR: Hospitals may need to make substantial changes to achieve a safety climate consistent with the status of high-reliability organizations, according to results of safety climate survey questions from health care respondents with those from naval aviation, a high- Reliability organization.
Abstract: We compared results of safety climate survey questions from health care respondents with those from naval aviation, a high-reliability organization. Separate surveys containing a subset of 23 similar questions were conducted among employees from 15 hospitals and from naval aviators from 226 squadrons. For each question a "problematic response" was defined that suggested an absence of a safety climate. Overall, the problematic response rate was 5.6% for naval aviators versus 17.5% for hospital personnel (p < .0001). The problematic response was 20.9% in high-hazard hospital domains such as emergency departments and operating rooms. Problematic response among hospital workers was up to 12 times greater than that among aviators on certain questions. Although further research on safety climate in health care is warranted, hospitals may need to make substantial changes to achieve a safety climate consistent with the status of high-reliability organizations.
