The modal account of luck revisited [PDF]
, 2016 According to the canonical formulation of the modal account of luck [e.g. Pritchard (2005)], an event is lucky just when that event occurs in the actual world but not in a wide class of the nearest possible worlds where the relevant conditions for that ...

A stepwise emergence of evolution in the RNA world
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.How did biological evolution emerge from chemical reactions? This perspective proposes a gradual scenario of self‐organization among RNA molecules, where catalytic feedback on random mixtures plays the central role. Short oligomers cross‐ligate, and self‐assembly enables heritable variations. An event of template‐externalization marks the transition to

An additively manufactured model for preclinical testing of cervical devices
JOR SpinePurpose Composite models have become commonplace for the assessment of fixation and stability of total joint replacements; however, there are no comparable models for the cervical spine to evaluate fixation.

Why Health-Related Inequalities Matter and Which Ones Do [PDF]
, 2019 I outline and defend two egalitarian theories, which yield distinctive and, I argue, complementary answers to why health-related inequalities matter: a brute luck egalitarian view, according to which inequalities due to unchosen, differential luck are ...

Surfaceome: a new era in the discovery of immune evasion mechanisms of circulating tumor cells
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.In the era of immunotherapies, many patients either do not respond or eventually develop resistance. We propose to pave the way for proteomic analysis of surface‐expressed proteins called surfaceome, of circulating tumor cells. This approach seeks to identify immune evasion mechanisms and discover potential therapeutic targets. Circulating tumor cells (

Metastable states of the Ising chain with Kawasaki dynamics [PDF]
Eur. Phys. J. B 32, 215-225 (2003), 2002 We consider a ferromagnetic Ising chain evolving under Kawasaki dynamics at zero temperature. We investigate the statistics of the metastable configurations in which the system gets blocked (statistics of energy, spin correlations, distribution of domain sizes). A systematic comparison is made with analytical predictions for the ensemble of all blocked

THE LUCK IN “TALENT VERSUS LUCK” MODELING
Advances in Complex Systems, 2020 This paper further investigates the Talent versus Luck (TvL) model described by [Pluchino et al. Talent versus luck: The role of randomness in success and failure, Adv. Complex Syst. 21 (2018) 1850014] which models the relationship between ‘talent’ and ‘luck’ on the impact of an individuals career.

Luck of Outcome in the Talent Versus Luck Model
Advances in Complex Systems, 2023 This paper analyzes the Talent versus Luck model, which examines the impact of 'talent' and 'luck' on an individual's career success. The original model, based on simulations, demonstrated that the distribution of capital has a heavy tail, and the most successful individuals are not necessarily the most talented.

Salience, Imagination, and Moral Luck [PDF]
, 2017 One key desideratum of a theory of blame is that it be able to explain why we typically have differing blaming responses in cases involving significant degrees of luck. T.M.
