Decision-form games [PDF]

In this paper we formalize a new form of two-player game, that we call decision- form. A two-player decision-form game consists in a pair of decision rules, representing the rationality of each player.

Physicochemical Reinforcement Unlocks Sterilization‐Stable Anisotropic Hydrogels for Cell‐Compatible Mock Arteries

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In vitro arterial models offer ethical and robust alternatives for vascular research but require cytocompatible materials that replicate physiological mechanics. Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) hydrogels produced by directional freezing and salting‐out (PVA DFSO) are anisotropic yet lack stability for cell culture. Herein, methacrylated PVA (PVA‐MA)

Sustaining cooperation in trust games [PDF]

It is well-known in evolutionary game theory that population clustering in Prisoner's Dilemma games allows some cooperative strategies to invade populations of stable defecting strategies. We adapt this idea of population clustering to a two-person trust

3D Soft Hydrogels Induce Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells “Deep” Quiescence

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Three‐dimensional soft hydrogels mimicking the bone marrow niche induce deep quiescence in human mesenchymal stem cells. Unlike 2D culture, 3D matrices halt proliferation, regulate cell‐cycle and quiescence markers, and downregulate mTORC1 signaling, preserving stem cell phenotype and therapeutic potential ex vivo.

Action Video Gaming Enhances Brain Structure: Increased Cortical Thickness and White Matter Integrity in Occipital and Parietal Regions

Brain Sciences
Background: Action video games—particularly first-person-shooter (FPS), real-time-strategy (RTS), multiplayer-online-battle-arena (MOBA), and battle-royale (BR) titles—have been linked to enhanced visuospatial skills, yet their impact on brain structure ...

Competitive 2-person percentile game theory with direct consideration of payoff matrices

, 1972
Considered is the cases of two persons who have finite numbers of strategies and who act competitively toward each other. Separately and independently, each player selects one of his strategies. The payoffs to a player for the possible strategy combinations can be conveniently expressed in matrix form, where the rows are his strategies and the columns ...

Bacteria‐Responsive Nanostructured Drug Delivery Systems for Targeted Antimicrobial Therapy

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Bacteria‐responsive nanocarriers are designed to release antimicrobials only in the presence of infection‐specific cues. This selective activation ensures drug release precisely at the site of infection, avoiding premature or indiscriminate release, and enhancing efficacy.

Effect of a Digital Health Physical Activity Program Integrating Gamification for Obesity Management in Comparison With Usual Care: Randomized Controlled Trial With an Ideographic Approach

Journal of Medical Internet Research
BackgroundDigital health interventions and gamification hold promise for managing chronic diseases, but evidence comparing their efficacy, long-term effectiveness, and cost-efficiency with those of usual care is limited. Moreover, there is a growing need

Tuning Amorphous‐Crystalline Catalytic Interfaces by Mechanochemistry: Cu‐Based Metallic Glasses Coupled with Ceria for CO Oxidation

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Ball‐milling Cu‐based metallic glasses with ceria creates a unique nanostructure where metallic glass particles are wrapped by CeO2 nanoparticles. The intimate integration triggers copper state reorganization during reaction and aging, boosting CO oxidation and COPrOx activity.

Viewing angle, skill level and task representativeness affect response times in basketball defence

Scientific Reports
In basketball defence, it is impossible to keep track of all players without peripheral vision. This is the first study to investigate peripheral vision usage in an experimentally controlled setup, with sport-specific basketball stimuli from a first ...
