In social situations with which evolutionary game is concerned, individuals are considered to be heterogeneous in various aspects. In particular, they may differently perceive the same outcome of the game owing to heterogeneity in idiosyncratic preferences, fighting abilities, and positions in a social network. In such a population, an individual may imitate successful and similar others, where...

Religious culture that applied in schools is an attempt to shape learners noble habits. As the purpose of national education, students strived develop his potential have spiritual power and character. So strategy religious development important be at school character are able successor nation Moslem minded. The focus this study how program development, implementation strategies it impacts on MA...

The article analyzes changes characterizing the features of transition to a multipolar world from perspective theory unity and struggle two cultures: cooperation selfishness, which determine orientation, content, results interaction between individuals, social groups, peoples throughout history mankind. culture selfishness is interpreted as created by man constantly developing set different way...

Transcriptional enhancers integrate information derived from transcription factor binding to control gene expression. One key question concerns the extent of trans- and cis-regulatory variation in how co-expressed genes are controlled. The Drosophila CNS midline cells constitute a group of neurons and glia in which expression changes can be readily characterized during specification and differe...

We consider the design of mechanisms for multi-sided exchanges that interact with strategic players—some of which have multi-dimension strategic spaces or are represented by mediators. Players act to optimize their own utilities. The mechanism designer, on the other hand, aims to optimize a social goal, i.e., the gain from trade. As the mediators control the information flow from their players ...

This paper starts with a re-examination of Piccione and Rubinstein’s [Games Econ. Behav. 20 (1997) 3] Absent-Minded Driver problem, and suggests a novel interpretation of Aumann, Hart and Perry’s [Games Econ. Behav. 20 (1997) 102] notion of action-optimality. We then consider several variants of the original problem in which the assumption that the player’s information sets partition the set of...

We propose a two-layer neuromorphic architecture by which motion field pattern, generated during locomotion, are processed by template detectors specialized for gaze-directed self-motion (expansion and rotation). The templates provide a gaze-centered computation for analyzing motion field in terms of how it is related to the fixation point (i.e., the fovea). The analysis is performed by relatin...

A letter or a three-dimensional shape was presented in the center of the visual field. Following the off-set of this stimulus either a comparison letter or a three-dimensional shape was flashed briefly in either the right or left visual field. The subject's task was to respond SAME, or DIFFERENT. The stimuli could be in the same plane, rotated in two dimensions (letters) or in three dimensions ...

We give an alternative proof of Madsen-Weiss’ generalized Mumford conjecture. Our proof is based on ideas similar to Madsen-Weiss’ original proof, but it is more geometrical and less homotopy theoretical in nature. At the heart of the argument is a geometric version of Harer stability, which we formulate as a theorem about folded maps.

We study heterogeneous interactions in a time-continuous bounded confidence model for opinion formation. The key new modelling aspects are to distinguish between open-minded and closed-minded behaviour and to include an open-mindedness social norm. The investigations focus on the equilibria supported by the proposed new model; particular attention is given to a novel class of equilibria consist...
