Within the frame of dyadic games based on individual reputations, the 'leading-eight' strategies distinguish themselves in promoting and sustaining cooperation. However, in real-world societies, there are widespread interactions at the group level, where individuals need to make a singular action choice when facing multiple individuals with different reputations. Here, through introducing the assessment of collective reputations, we develop a framework that embeds group-level reputation structure into public goods games to study the evolution of group-level indirect reciprocity. We show that changing the criteria of group assessment destabilizes the reputation dynamics of leading-eight strategies. In a particular range of social assessment criteria, all leading-eight strategies can break the social dilemma in public goods games and sustain cooperation. Specifically, there exists an optimal, moderately set assessment criterion that is most conducive to promoting cooperation. Moreover, in the evolution of assessment criteria, the preference of the leading-eight strategies for social strictness is inversely correlated with the payoff level. Our work reveals the impact of social strictness on prosocial behaviour, highlighting the importance of group-level interactions in the analysis of evolutionary games and complex social dynamics.","PeriodicalId":17488,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Royal Society Interface","volume":"22 225","pages":"20240827"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143764426","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, concrete and quantitative model realizations of this influential concept are rare. Here, we present an analytic, stochastic framework in which a population-scale phylodynamic curve emerges dynamically, allowing us to address questions regarding the risk and timing of the emergence of viral immune escape variants. We explore how pathogen- and population-specific parameters such as strength of immunity, transmissibility, seasonality and antigenic constraints affect the emergence risk. For pathogens exhibiting pronounced seasonality, we find that the timing of likely immune-escape variant emergence depends on the level of case importation between regions. Motivated by the COVID-19 pandemic, we probe the likely effects of non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs), and the lifting thereof, on the risk of viral escape variant emergence. Looking ahead, the framework has the potential to become a useful tool for probing how natural immunity, as well as choices in vaccine design and distribution and the implementation of NPIs, affect the evolution of common viral pathogens.","PeriodicalId":17488,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Royal Society Interface","volume":"22 225","pages":"20240675"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143764422","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study explores the roles of object variety and connections in scenic images in shaping perceptions of environmental aesthetics, using advanced computer vision techniques and regression analysis. Drawing on data from the Scenic-Or-Not project and leveraging the Segment Anything Model, we analysed landscape photographs to understand how object diversity and spatial arrangement affect aesthetic judgments. Our findings reveal a positive correlation between object diversity and perceived scenicness, emphasizing the importance of visual richness and complexity in enhancing scenic appeal. However, excessive object diversity can introduce visual clutter and diminish aesthetic value. Our analysis of object connections, measured through graph-based metrics like network density and clustering coefficient, reveals that denser and more interconnected arrangements enhance scenic appeal, while overly efficient local connections reduce visual interest. These results demonstrate the importance of balancing complexity, coherence and interconnectedness in scenic design. By situating these findings within established theoretical frameworks, this study provides insights for disciplines such as environmental science, urban planning and landscape management, offering guidance for creating environments that evoke positive aesthetic experiences while maintaining visual harmony and interest.","PeriodicalId":17488,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Royal Society Interface","volume":"22 225","pages":"20250045"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143764466","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The technique of proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) is used for reducing the order of the main model and consequently, the long short-term memory is employed for the prediction of main blood flow parameters, i.e. blood velocity and pressure along the patient-specific carotid artery with stenosis. The efficiency of the proposed machine learning technique has been evaluated in patient-specific carotid arteries with/without stenosis. Besides, the reconstruction error analysis is performed for different POD mode numbers. Our results demonstrate that the value of blood velocity at different stages of the cardiac cycle has a great impact on the efficiency of the proposed method for the estimation of blood haemodynamics. The presence of stenosis inside the patient-specific carotid artery intensifies the complexity of the blood flow, and consequently, the magnitude of the errors for the prediction is increased when the stenosis exists in the patient-specific carotid artery.","PeriodicalId":17488,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Royal Society Interface","volume":"22 224","pages":"20240774"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11879616/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143556861","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It offers valuable insights into human interactions in a range of disciplines, including economics, sociology and psychology. Previous research has revealed that reward and punishment systems can effectively promote the evolution of trust. However, these investigations overlook the gaming environment, leaving unresolved the optimal conditions for employing distinct incentives to effectively facilitate trust level. To bridge this gap, we introduce a transformation incentive mechanism in an N-player trust game, where trustees are given different forms of incentives depending on the number of trustees in the group. Using the Markov decision process approach, our research shows that as incentives increase, the level of trust rises continuously, eventually reaching a high level of coexistence between investors and trustworthy trustees. Specifically, in the case of smaller incentives, rewarding trustworthy trustees is more effective. Conversely, in the case of larger incentives, punishing untrustworthy trustees is more effective. Additionally, we find that moderate incentives have a positive impact on increasing the average payoff within the group.","PeriodicalId":17488,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Royal Society Interface","volume":"22 224","pages":"20240726"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11938300/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143710406","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we applied atomic force microscopy-force spectroscopy (AFM-FS) to evaluate the nanomechanical properties of CDMs obtained from patients diagnosed with collagen VI-related congenital muscular dystrophies (COL6-RDs). COL6-RDs are a set of neuromuscular conditions caused by pathogenic variants in any of the three major COL6 genes, which result in deficiency or dysfunction of the COL6 incorporated into the ECM of connective tissues. Current diagnosis includes the genetic confirmation of the disease and categorization of the phenotype based on maximum motor ability, as no direct correlation exists between genotype and phenotype of COL6-RDs. We describe differences in the elastic modulus (E) among CDMs from patients with different clinical phenotypes, as well as the restoration of E in CDMs obtained from genetically edited cells. Results anticipate the potential of the nanomechanical analysis of CDMs as a complementary clinical tool, providing phenotypic information about COL6-RDs and their response to gene therapies.","PeriodicalId":17488,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Royal Society Interface","volume":"22 224","pages":"20240860"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11897821/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143605275","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using an in situ surface force apparatus, we demonstrated low and remarkably speed-insensitive (over 300-fold) water bridge sliding friction on a goose feather vane. Detailed analyses suggest a dominant, hidden energy dissipation channel probably related to the deformation and elastic recovery of feather's characteristic metamaterial-like structure, which also results in feather's speed insensitive (from 0.1 to 1 mm s-1) ultra-low dry sliding friction coefficient observed in this study (approx. 0.07).

It is hypothesized that flapping-wing systems use resonance to improve muscle mechanical output energy efficiency, a principle often followed in bioinspired flapping-wing robots. However, resonance can limit the degree of active control, a trade-off rooted in the dynamics of wing motor systems and can be potentially reflected in muscle work loops. To systematically investigate how energy efficiency trades off with active control of wingbeat frequency and amplitude, here we developed a parsimonious model of the wing motor system with either synchronous or asynchronous power muscles. We then non-dimensionalized the model and performed simulations to examine model characteristics as functions of Weis-Fogh number and dimensionless flapping frequency. For synchronous power muscles, our model predicts that energy efficiency trades off with frequency control rather than amplitude control at high Weis-Fogh numbers; however, no such trade-off was found for models with asynchronous power muscles. The work loops alone are insufficient to fully capture wing motor characteristics, and therefore fail to directly reflect the trade-offs. Finally, using simulation results, we predict that natural fliers function at Weis-Fogh numbers close to 1.","PeriodicalId":17488,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Royal Society Interface","volume":"22 224","pages":"20240660"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11919495/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143657545","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
