We apply path-integral techniques to study the dynamics of agent-based models with asymmetric information structures. In particular, we devise a batch version of a model proposed originally by Berg et al. [1], and convert the coupled multi-agent processes into an effective-agent problem from which the dynamical order parameters in ergodic regimes can be derived self-consistently together with t...

There is limited genetic information available in most African goat populations. However, improvements genomic technologies have enabled easy and effective analysis of different parameters. This study used Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) data four genotypes from Kenya; Galla (n = 12), Alpine 28), Saanen 24) Toggenburger 30). After SNP quality control, 48808 SNPs that were for analysis. Run...

I investigated the phylogenetic relationships within the New World Blepharida and among related genera, using sequences of the Internal Transcriber Spacer 2 (ITS2) of nuclear ribosomal DNA and sequences of the COI and COII genes of the mitochondrial genome. Cladistic analyses were performed using parsimony, maximum likelihood, and Bayesian methods. These methods generated almost identical topol...

Correspondence to Dr Wolfgang Wagner; [email protected] Visiting Ravenna, this ancient town near the Adriatic Sea in Italy, cannot be called anything but a feast in culture. From AD 402 to AD 476, it was the capital of the Western Roman Empire. The city and its harbour later became the Italian stronghold of the Eastern Roman Empire (Constantinople/Istanbul). No wonder that busloads of tour...
