Movers and Shakers
Most projects, in most walks of life, require the participation of multiple parties. While it is difficult to unite people in a common endeavor, some people, whom we call “movers and shakers,” seem able to do it. The paper specifically examines moving and shaking of an investment project. We analyze a model with a large number of ex ante identical agents. Agents form social connections, bid to ...
متن کاملEcological fitness, genomic islands and bacterial pathogenicity
The compositions of bacterial genomes can be changed rapidly and dramatically through a variety of processes including horizontal gene transfer. This form of change is key to bacterial evolution, as it leads to ‘evolution in quantum leaps’. Horizontal gene transfer entails the incorporation of genetic elements transferred from another organism—perhaps in an earlier generation—directly into the ...
متن کاملMovers and Shakers: Conversation and conflict in a serious game for tablets
Movers and Shakers is a tablet-based serious game that explores how subversive game design can foster meaningful conversational conflict beyond outside the game’s digital screens. This twoplayer strategy puzzle was developed at the Singapore-MIT GAMBIT Game Lab and is used as a research tool to explore novel challenges in multiplayer serious games. The project provides insights into the afforda...
متن کاملCharacterization and expression analysis of Staphylococcus aureus pathogenicity island 3. Implications for the evolution of staphylococcal pathogenicity islands.
We describe the complete sequence of the 15.9-kb staphylococcal pathogenicity island 3 encoding staphylococcal enterotoxin serotypes B, K, and Q. The island, which meets the generally accepted definition of pathogenicity islands, contains 24 open reading frames potentially encoding proteins of more than 50 amino acids, including an apparently functional integrase. The element is bordered by two...
