Dynamic, Unconstrained Optimization of Secreted Enzyme Production in Fed‐Batch Fermentation Using Reinforcement Learning

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Reinforcement learning (RL) has been used to control a wide range of dynamic processes, especially ones that are too complex to model well or have stochastic environmental perturbations. Fed‐batch fermentations are subject to changes in starting cell growth rates and process variations that can affect cell growth and secreted target production.

Trade‐offs in avian parental care: a review of theory and meta‐analysis of brood size manipulations

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The selective forces shaping parental care have been studied for over 50 years. While theoretical and experimental work has yielded qualitative progress, the large body of empirical work testing predictions about parental investment based on life‐history trade‐offs has yet to be synthesized.

On the importance of including both sexes in animal studies – insights from home‐cage monitoring

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A review of behavioural studies using home‐cage monitoring (HCM) systems revealed that over 61% of studies used only male subjects, with only 24% including both sexes, despite evidence of substantial behavioural differences between male and female animals. This bias could influence the outcomes of biomedical research.
