Cooperative behavior in pre-state societies: an agent based approach to the Axum civilization

Frontiers in Complex Systems
IntroductionThis study intends to test the hypothesis that, contrary to traditional interpretation, the social structure of the polity of Aksum–especially in its early stages–was not characterized by a vertical hierarchy with highly centralized ...

Tactical Size Unit as Distribution in a Data Farming Environment

Axioms, 2016
In agent based models, the agents are usually platforms (individual soldiers, tanks, helicopters, etc.), not military units. In the Sandis software, the agents can be platoon size units.

Structural insights and therapeutic targets in Acinetobacter baumannii capsule biosynthesis

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Hypervirulent KL49 A. baumannii's capsular polysaccharide contains the nonulosonic acid 8‐epi‐Leg5,7Ac2, synthesized by epimerization via ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC. Crystal structures of ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC reveal their role in CMP‐Leg5,7Ac2 synthesis and regioselective C8 epimerization.
