Introduction The automation of cell culture processes becomes more important in the pharmaceutical industry due to compressed timelines and the need to develop more products more efficiently. This drive to develop new processes faster and more efficient requires a streamlined workflow. Resource intensive approaches like the use of shake flasks limit the accessible design space for the developme...

We study the revelation principle in multistage games for perfect Bayesian equilibium and sequential equilibrium. The question of whether or not the revelation principle holds is subtle, as expanding players’ opportunities for communication expands the set of consistent beliefs at off-path information sets. In settings with adverse selection but no moral hazard, Nash, perfect Bayesian, and sequ...

This study is a component of the Sylviculture et aménagement forestier écosystémique project, which examines ecosystem-based forest management strategies in mixedwood boreal forests. Four harvesting treatments, one noharvest, one clearcut, and two partial cuts (33% and 61% of basal area removed), were applied to even-aged aspen stands according to a complete block design. Mountain maple (Acer s...

Genetic diversity within populations is an important component of adaptive evolution, and recent research has demonstrated that genetic variation within plant populations can have important ecological effects. In this study, we investigate quantitative-genetic variation in several traits within a quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) population. A common garden experiment was planted with ...

A 2_2 game is played repeatedly by two satisficing players. The game considered includes the Prisoner's Dilemma, as well as games of coordination and common interest. Each player has an aspiration at each date, and takes an action. The action is switched at the subsequent period only if the achieved payoff falls below aspirations; the switching probability depends on the shortfall. Aspirations ...
