Evolutionary Synthesis in the Social Sciences and Humanities by Mesoudi Alex

“…Cultural change constitutes a Darwinian evolutionary process, comprising the three Darwinian principles of variation, selection and inheritance. Yet cultural evolution is not identical to genetic evolution: the sources of variation, the forms of selection and the modes of inheritance found in cultural evolution may be very different to those found in genetic evolution. …”

Strong-field QED effects on polarization states in dipole and quadrudipole pulsar emissions by Dong-Hoon Kim, Chul Min Kim, Sang Pyo Kim

“…These features are understood and confirmed by means of approximate analytical solutions to the evolution equations. Also, the evolution patterns are shown to differ between dipole and quadrudipole pulsar models, depending on the magnetic field strength.…”

High-throughput method characterizes hundreds of previously unknown antibiotic resistance mutations by Matthew J. Jago, Jake K. Soley, Stepan Denisov, Calum J. Walsh, Danna R. Gifford, Benjamin P. Howden, Mato Lagator

“…We present a high-throughput technique – Quantitative Mutational Scan sequencing (QMS-seq) – that enables quantitative comparison of which genes are under antibiotic selection and captures how genetic background influences resistance evolution. We compare four E. coli strains exposed to ciprofloxacin, cycloserine, or nitrofurantoin and identify 812 resistance mutations, many in genes and regulatory regions not previously associated with resistance. …”

Trichotomy for Dynamical Systems in Banach Spaces by Codruţa Stoica

“…We construct a framework for the study of dynamical systems that describe phenomena from physics and engineering in infinite dimensions and whose state evolution is set out by skew-evolution semiflows. Therefore, we introduce the concept of ω-trichotomy. …”
