Asking the 5 W's for designing next‐generation bioprocessing
AIChE Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Biotechnology is expanding beyond traditional, centralized fermentation and toward next‐generation bioprocessing paradigms that emphasize flexible deployment outside the laboratory with application‐specific performance. However, many bioprocesses fail to translate beyond proof‐of‐concept into industrially viable systems because early design ...

Automated generative process synthesis via transformer‐based dual‐loop simulation and optimization
AIChE Journal, EarlyView.Abstract This study presents a novel framework for automated generative process synthesis, addressing the complexity of simultaneously optimizing discrete topologies and continuous operating variables. To overcome conventional superstructure limitations, we propose a dual‐loop architecture integrating generative transformers with rigorous process ...

Comments on "A reconsideration of tax shield valuation" by Enrique R. Arzac and Lawrence R. Glosten [PDF]
While Arzac and Glosten (2005) affirm that "the value of tax shields depends upon the nature of the equity stochastic process, which, in turn, depends upon the free cash flow process," I prove that the value of tax shields depends only upon the nature of

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.Deep learning‐based denoising models are applied to DNA data storage systems to enhance error reduction and data fidelity. By integrating DnCNN with DNA sequence encoding methods, the study demonstrates significant improvements in image quality and correction of substitution errors, revealing a promising path toward robust and efficient DNA‐based ...
