Placental crises: disruptive selection and maternal under‐investment as the foundations of mammalian placental evolution and dysfunction

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Among the vertebrates, mammals are notable for the dominance of live birth and placental nutrition. The structural diversity of the mammalian placenta is remarkable, despite sharing a single common ancestor and conserved physiological functions.

Do Eco‐Emotions and Climate Change Perceptions Influence Environmentally Conscious Decisions? Implications for Business Strategies

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite growing research on explicating travelers' decision‐making processes regarding greener travel options, there remains potential for exploring nuances of different factors and mechanisms that may encourage higher green travel. Grounded in the propositions of the push–pull–mooring framework, our study attempts to explicate whether eco ...

Innovative methodology for flexible monitoring of various bioprocesses by using pre‐existing Raman data coupled with automated transfer learning technique

Biotechnology Progress, EarlyView.
The application of the transfer learning algorithm successfully allowed the use of a model built on process A for real‐time monitoring of process B. This study shows the improvement obtained with this methodology compared to the direct application of the model.
