Social imitation dynamics of vaccination driven by vaccine effectiveness and beliefs
Results To begin, we first study how social imitation dynamics of vaccination, where individuals are not perfectly rational, can be impacted by the presence of an imperfect vaccine. In addition to weighing the perceived cost of vaccination with the risk of infection, the effectiveness of vaccination is also an important factor driving vaccination decisions. Specifically, we model the vaccination dynamics under imperfect vaccines as a two-stage game as shown in Fig 1.

Social Learning and the Exploration-Exploitation Tradeoff
Abstract : Cultures around the world show varying levels of conservatism. While maintaining traditional ideas prevents wrong ones from being embraced, it also slows or prevents adaptation to new times. Without exploration there can be no improvement, but often this effort is wasted as it fails to produce better results, making it better to exploit the best known option.

Punching Shear Resistance of Corroded Slab–Column Connections Subjected to Eccentric Load | Journal of Structural Engineering | Vol 149, No 1
Due to the use of deicing salt, marine and offshore environments may cause rebar corrosion in RC flat-slab floor systems. This increases the possibility of punching shear failure of slab-column connections. However, few research results are available for RC slab-column connections with corroded rebar under eccentric load, which is very common in realistic loading conditions.

Downloaded 0 times Technical Papers Abstract In this paper, three precast concrete (PC) frames and one cast-in-situ reinforced-concrete (RC) frame were cast and tested to investigate the load-resisting mechanisms of emulative PC frames with various reinforcing details to resist progressive collapse. In the beams of PC frames, the top reinforcement was continuous without curtailment while the bottom reinforcement had different anchorage strength.
The Evolution of Homophily
Abstract Biologists have devoted much attention to assortative mating or homogamy, the tendency for sexual species to mate with similar others. In contrast, there has been little theoretical work on the broader phenomenon of homophily, the tendency for individuals to interact with similar others. Yet this behaviour is also widely observed in nature.

Elitism in mathematics and inequality
Abstract The Fields Medal, often referred as the Nobel Prize of mathematics, is awarded to no more than four mathematicians under the age of 40, every 4 years. In recent years, its conferral has come under scrutiny of math historians, for rewarding the existing elite rather than its original goal of elevating under-represented mathematicians. Prior studies of elitism focus on citational practices while a characterization of the structural forces that prevent access remain unclear.

Effects of High-Strength Concrete on Progressive Collapse Resistance of Reinforced Concrete Frame
Downloaded 0 times Technical Papers Abstract The application of extreme loads, such as impact and blast, may lead to progressive collapse and the robustness of a structure must be considered in this context. Although extensive studies have been carried out in recent decades to investigate the load-resisting mechanism of RC frames to prevent progressive collapse, the effects of high-strength concrete (HSC) on progressive collapse resistance capacity remain unclear.
Dueling biological and social contagions
Abstract Numerous models explore how a wide variety of biological and social phenomena spread in social networks. However, these models implicitly assume that the spread of one phenomenon is not affected by the spread of another. Here, we develop a model of “dueling contagions”, with a particular illustration of a situation where one is biological (influenza) and the other is social (flu vaccination).

Co-diffusion of social contagions
The term 'social contagion' implicitly captures two worlds: the world of social science and the world of epidemiology. Although the term was initially coined in 1895 by Gustave Le Bon [1] to describe undesirable collective behaviors in crowds, its definition has been stretched to encompass and explain types of collective behavior produced through social contact [2–6].
Understanding Vaccination Dilemma through the Lens of Evolutionary Game Theory
Voluntary mass vaccination is a fundamental measure in achieving widespread herd immunity and preventing significant disease outbreaks. In recent years, however, the world has seen a resurgence of vaccine-preventable childhood diseases, such as pertussis (whooping cough) and measles. The measles outbreak at Disneyland in 2015 particularly caught nationwide media attention. Moreover, measles has recently reached the very verge of an endemic disease in France.
Japanese Parliament to consider law backing commercial whaling
The Japanese Parliament will today consider a bill which expresses the Government's desire to resume commercial whaling. "This bill lays down the necessary matters to carry out scientific research whaling in a stable and continuous way, in order to carry out commercial whaling," it reads. Japan considers whaling to be a cultural right and conducts annual hunts in the Southern and Pacific oceans — under a loophole in International Whaling Commission rules which allows for scientific whaling.

'They've stolen the payments': Push to increase NSW victims of crime scheme
Victims of crime are calling on the New South Wales Government to increase funding for compensation, after the scheme was scaled back four years ago. The scheme provides money to people who have suffered from sexual assault, domestic violence or other crimes and are not able to sue an institution or organisation in order to receive compensation. In 2013, the State Government cut the scheme significantly, and lowered the amounts of money people could receive.
