TL;DR: In this paper, the main solutions of cooperative games, including the core, bargaining set, kernel, nucleolus, and the Shapley value of TU games, are investigated in detail.
Abstract: "Introduction to the Theory of Cooperative Games" systematically studies the main solutions of cooperative games: the core, bargaining set, kernel, nucleolus, and the Shapley value of TU games, and the core, the Shapley value, and the ordinal bargaining set of NTU games. To each solution, a separate chapter is devoted, in which its properties are investigated in full detail. Moreover, important variants are defined or even intensively analyzed. Separate chapters cover continuity, dynamics, and geometric properties of solutions of TU games. This study culminates in uniform and coherent axiomatizations of all the foregoing solutions (excluding the bargaining set). Except for the Shapley value such axiomatizations have not appeared in any book. Moreover, "Introduction to the Theory of Cooperative Games" contains a detailed analysis of the main results on cooperative games without side payments. Such analysis is very limited or non-existent in the existing literature on game theory.

TL;DR: Reduced complement-mediated solubilization (CMS) of pre-formed immune complexes (IC) was demonstrated in sera from 11 out of 12 SLE patients and sera of 14 rheumatoid arthritis patients exhibited normal CMS.
Abstract: Reduced complement-mediated solubilization (CMS) of pre-formed immune complexes (IC) was demonstrated in sera from 11 out of 12 SLE patients. The presence of incompletely solubilized endogeneous IC in SLE sera was indicated by the following findings: (1) When IC positive SLE sera with reduced CMS capacity were mixed with normal donor sera they inhibited the CMS of the latter sera. (2) Resuspended PEG (2.75%) precipitates obtained from SLE sera inhibited the CMS of normal donor sera. (3) Non-solubilized or incompletely complement solubilized IC in SLE sera give a strong response in the PEG-CC assay for IC. The IC activity of SLE sera was clearly reduced in this assay when the endogeneous IC were solubilized prior to testing. In contrast, sera of 14 rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients exhibited normal CMS. IC which could be further solubilized by complement were not demonstrable although all RA sera were IC positive.

TL;DR: The quinazolinioam candidates are the only heteroaromatic ammonioamidates known not only to exist in three forms, viz. the monomer, the adducts, and the dimers, but also to furnish characteristic photoproducts of all three forms.
Abstract: N-(Quinazolin-3-io)amidates (1) may exist, depending on the nature of the groups R, R1, and R2, and in the absence of nucleophiles, as equilibrium mixtures of the monomeric (1) and dimeric (3) forms. For the first time evidence has been found for the generation of photoproducts of the dimeric forms (3)via irradiation of the quinazolinioamidates (1a–c) in acetone in which substantial amounts of the dimers (3a–c) are present. Thus, the quinazolinioamidates (1) are the only heteroaromatic ammonioamidates which are known not only to exist in three forms, viz. the monomer, the adducts (2), and the dimers (3), but also to furnish characteristic photoproducts of all three forms.
