Target the fence-sitters

Fence-sitters Protect Cooperation in Complex Networks

Evolutionary game theory is one of the key paradigms behind many scientific disciplines from science to engineering. In complex networks, because of the difficulty of formulating the replicator dynamics, most of the previous studies are confined to a numerical level. In this paper, we introduce a vectorial formulation to derive three classes of individuals' payoff analytically. The three classe...

Forming trust with vaccine fence-sitters.

Vaccination programs and providers should not expect to convert people from a strong antivaccination stance, according to some experts. When it comes to promoting vaccine acceptance, they argue it may be a better investment to focus on winning the trust of the “vaccine-hesitant.” There’s a tendency in public health to see people as either proor antivaccine, but many people stand somewhere betwe...

Don't try to convert the antivaccinators, instead target the fence-sitters.

Jumping over the fence

The nuclear envelope forms a cocoon that surrounds the cellular genome keeping it out of harm's way and can be utilized by the cell as a means of functionally regulating chromatin structure and gene expression. At the same time, this double-layered membrane system constitutes a formidable obstacle to the unimpeded flow of genetic information between the genome and the rest of the cell. The nucl...

the impact of skopos on syntactic features of the target text

the present study is an experimental case study which investigates the impacts, if any, of skopos on syntactic features of the target text. two test groups each consisting of 10 ma students translated a set of sentences selected from advertising texts in the operative and informative mode. the resulting target texts were then statistically analyzed in terms of the number of words, phrases, si...
