BACKWARD INDUCTION: MERITS AND FLAWS

Studies in Logic, Grammar and Rhetoric, 2017
Backward induction (BI) was one of the earliest methods developed for solving finite sequential games with perfect information. It proved to be especially useful in the context of Tom Schelling’s ideas of credible versus incredible threats.

Are there some things it is morally wrong to make-believe? An examination of imaginative resistance as a measure of the morality of pretence [PDF]

, 2015
This paper discusses the morality of make-believing deviant moral truths within the context of fictional narratives (e.g. make-believing that the killing of innocent people is a morally good thing to do).

Identification of candidate genes for stigma color using a genome‐wide association study in centipedegrass

Crop Science, Volume 65, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
Abstract Centipedegrass, Eremochloa ophiuroides [Munro] Hack., is a low‐maintenance, warm‐season turfgrass commonly grown in the southeastern United States. Limited information is known about the genomic regions that control centipedegrass traits, including stigma color.

Myriapod genomes reveal ancestral horizontal gene transfer and hormonal gene loss in millipedes

Nature Communications, 2022
Myriapods play an important ecological role in soil and forest ecosystems. Here the authors analyse nine myriapod genomes, showing rapid evolution of distinct genomic pathways in centipede and millipede lineages, shaped by differing ecological pressures.

Molecular Spiders in One Dimension [PDF]

, 2007
Molecular spiders are synthetic bio-molecular systems which have "legs" made of short single-stranded segments of DNA. Spiders move on a surface covered with single-stranded DNA segments complementary to legs.

Structural similarities reveal an expansive conotoxin family with a two‐finger toxin fold

Protein Science, Volume 34, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract Venomous animals have evolved a diverse repertoire of toxins with considerable pharmaceutical potential. The rapid evolution of peptide toxins, such as the conotoxins produced by venomous marine cone snails, often complicates efforts to infer their evolutionary relationships based solely on sequence information.

All Together Now: Genes, Interpersonal Touch, and Self‐Conscious Processes Jointly Guide Cooperative Behavior

Journal of Behavioral Decision Making, Volume 38, Issue 4, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Cooperation and trust are critical parts of many relationships. However, such relationships are often studied in siloed ways, leading to incomplete explanations of behavior (e.g., from the point of view of a buyer or a seller, but not necessarily both). This paper makes three contributions to broadening this perspective.

A review of some characters used in the taxonomy of Cryptops (subgenus Cryptops) (Chilopoda: Scolopendromorpha: Cryptopidae)

Soil Organisms, 2009
Variation in a number of taxonomic characters in Cryptops (Cryptops) is discussed. Some, such as the shape of the poison gland calyx and the arrangement of setae on the anterior margin of the forcipular coxosternum, are very reliable.

All graphs with at most seven vertices are Pairwise Compatibility Graphs

, 2012
A graph $G$ is called a pairwise compatibility graph (PCG) if there exists an edge-weighted tree $T$ and two non-negative real numbers $d_{min}$ and $d_{max}$ such that each leaf $l_u$ of $T$ corresponds to a vertex $u \in V$ and there is an edge $(u,v) \
