On the Dynamics and Stability of the Crime and Punishment Game by María J. Quinteros, Marcelo J. Villena

“…The dynamics show five possible equilibria, from which three are stable. Our results show that a culture of honest agents is never stable; however when the penalty is high enough, the system will neutrally tend to an equilibrium of honest agents and a monitoring firm. …”

The tree of life of copper-containing amine oxidases by Zaibao Zhang, Tao Xiong, Kejia Li, Kexin Huang, Siyu Wu, Luhui Wu

“…The copy numbers of CuAOs vary significantly across plant species, whereas they remain relatively stable in animal species, generally maintaining 3-4 copies per species. During the evolutionary process, plant CuAOs formed two clades (I and II), while animal CuAOs formed three clades (CAO-like, AOC1, AOC2-4). …”

New insights into interspecies relationships, chromosomal evolution, and hybrid identification in the Lycoris Herb. by Yue Zhang, Shujun Zhou, Yu Chen, Pengchong Zhang, Yongchun Zhang, Junhuo Cai, Zixuan Nie, Lu Zhang

“…This study utilizes karyotype structure, genome size, and fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) technology to explore the chromosomal evolution and hybrid identification of Lycoris employing three approaches at the cytogenetic level. Results The findings indicate that species with a smaller basic chromosome number exhibit less asymmetry than those with a larger basic chromosome number, suggesting that species with different basic chromosome numbers may have followed different evolutionary pathways. …”

Platform power in AI: The evolution of cloud infrastructures in the political economy of artificial intelligence by Dieuwertje Luitse

“…Through an empirical analysis of their evolutionary trajectories in the context of AI between January 2017 and April 2021, this paper argues that these cloud platforms attempt to exercise infrastructural power in three significant ways: through vertical integration, their complementary innovation, and the power of abstraction. …”
