What is 'Game Theory' Game theory is the study of human conflict and cooperation within a competitive situation. In some respects, game theory is the science of strategy, or at least the optimal decision-making of independent and competing actors in a strategic setting. The key pioneers of game theory were mathematicians John von Neumann and John Nash, as well as economist Oskar Morgenstern. BREAKING DOWN 'Game Theory'
The lungs are located in the chest on either side of the heart in the rib cage. They are conical in shape with a narrow rounded apex at the top, and a broad concave base that rests on the convex surface of the diaphragm.
The lungs are a pair of spongy, air-filled organs located on either side of the chest (thorax). The trachea (windpipe) conducts inhaled air into the lungs through its tubular branches, called bronchi. The bronchi then divide into smaller and smaller branches (bronchioles), finally becoming microscopic. Pneumonia: Infection in one or both lungs. 2  Bacteria, especially Streptococcus pneumoniae, are the most common cause. 3  Asthma: The lungs' airways (bronchi) become inflamed and can spasm, causing shortness of breath and wheezing. 4  Allergies, viral infections, or air pollution often trigger asthma symptoms.
