This paper presents an adaptation of the Moran birth–death model of evolutionary processes on graphs. The present model makes use of the full population state space consisting of 2 N binary-valued vectors, and a Markov process on this space with a transition matrix defined by the edge weight matrix for any given graph. While the general case involves solution of 2 N – 2 linear equations, symmetry considerations substantially reduce this for graphs with large automorphism groups, and a number of simple examples are considered. A parameter called graph determinacy is introduced, measuring the extent to which the fate of any randomly chosen population state is determined. Some simple graphs that suppress or enhance selection are analysed, and comparison of several examples to the Moran process on a complete graph indicates that in some cases a graph may enhance selection relative to a complete graph for only limited values of the fitness parameter.

AbstractWe provide some necessary and some sufficient conditions for the automorphism group of a free product of (freely indecomposable, not infinite cyclic) groups to have Property (FA). The additional sufficient conditions are all met by finite groups, and so this case is fully characterised. Therefore, this paper generalises the work of N. Leder [Serre’s Property FA for automorphism groups of free products, preprint (2018), https://arxiv.org/abs/1810.06287v1]. for finite cyclic groups, as well as resolving the open case of that paper.

Simplified design criteria are provided for two-handed, manual lifting by standing men and women, without selective assignment of personnel to specific material handling tasks. Based on a 1981 NIOSH report, application of these criteria requires no knowledge of human anatomy, anthropometry, biomechanics, psychophysics, muscle fatigue, cardiovascular capacity, or metabolic endurance. A person who can read and use simple graphs can quickly determine the maximum weight of a lifted object. The information needed is the horizontal grasp distance and the initial grasp height and lift distance of the object, plus the frequency and duration of lifting.
