Feeding Management of African Rhinos (Ceratotherium simum, Diceros bicornis) in European Zoos

open access: yesZoo Biology, EarlyView.
The average estimated diets (in % dry matter) of white rhinos (C. simum) and black rhinos (D. bicornis) in European zoos differ in the proportion of (pelleted) compound feed and other non‐forage items. The reason for this difference is elusive but possibly related to creating more complicated diets for browsers. ABSTRACT White rhinos (WR, Ceratotherium

AGT: Efficient Offline Reinforcement Learning With Advantage‐Guided Transformer

open access: yesCAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Offline reinforcement learning (RL) is a paradigm that seeks to train policies directly based on fixed datasets derived from previous interactions with the environment. However, offline RL faces critical challenges in environments characterised by sparse rewards and datasets dominated by suboptimal trajectories.

From Tobacco to Ultraprocessed Food: How Industry Engineering Fuels the Epidemic of Preventable Disease

open access: yesThe Milbank Quarterly, EarlyView.
Policy Points Ultraprocessed foods (UPFs) are engineered to heighten reward and accelerate delivery of reinforcing ingredients, driving compulsive consumption and disrupting appetite regulation. This is a growing challenge for health policy. UPFs share key engineering strategies adopted from the tobacco industry, such as dose optimization and hedonic ...

The agency of a marmalade machine: Gender, class and mechanical gadgets in the British Kitchen, c.1870–1938

open access: yesGender &History, EarlyView.
Abstract This article explores the marmalade machine, a mechanical device designed to slice orange peel. These niche objects were manufactured between roughly 1870 and 1938 in Britain. As a so‐called ‘labour‐saving’ gadget, the marmalade machine sliced orange peel quickly and effectively, removing the tedious process of slicing orange peel by hand ...
