THOMAS DENTON’S <i>PERAMBULATION</i>: TWO COUNTIES, THREE KINGDOMS, and FOUR NATIONS HISTORY?

“Three Kingdoms” to Romance

Three globin lineages belonging to two structural classes in genomes from the three kingdoms of life.

Although most globins, including the N-terminal domains within chimeric proteins such as flavohemoglobins and globin-coupled sensors, exhibit a 3/3 helical sandwich structure, many bacterial, plant, and ciliate globins have a 2/2 helical sandwich structure. We carried out a comprehensive survey of globins in the genomes from the three kingdoms of life. Bayesian phylogenetic trees based on manua...

Effects of Playing a History-Simulation Game: Romance of Three Kingdoms

Studies on game-based learning usually investigate at least one of three subjects: the effects of gaming on learning performance, the effects of gaming on cognitive skills and attitudes, and learners’ gamedesign experiences. Whether gaming relates positively to learning outcomes is still under investigation. This study examines the components contributing to the development of a literate game p...

Information Geometry, One, Two, Three (and Four) *

Although the notion of entropy lies at the core of statistical mechanics, it is not often used in statistical mechanical models to characterize phase transitions, a role more usually played by quantities such as various order parameters, specific heats or susceptibilities. The relative entropy induces a metric, the so-called information or Fisher-Rao metric, on the space of parameters and the g...
