A demand-based optimization approach to find market equilibria in oligopolies

Michel Bierlaire, Virginie Janine Camille Lurkin, Stefano Bortolomiol

Oligopolistic competition occurs when a small number of operators compete for the same pool of customers. This is often the case in transportation, due to reasons such as external regulations, economies of scale and limited capacity of the infrastructure. ...

Probing renal pH using hyperpolarized [1-13C]alaninamide

Rolf Gruetter, Arnaud Comment, Hikari Ananda Infinity Yoshihara, Alice Radaelli

Hyperpolarized molecular probes can be effectively used as pH markers. To date, the only two probes reported in vivo as extracellular pH sensors are 13C-bicarbonate, and [1,5-13C2]zymonic acid. Alaninamide is a derivative of alanine which is found to be se ...
